Last week I had a drama project at school. It's a project that's organized every year. This was my second time I played in it. It was a 12 piece kit with some extra stuff.

Specs:
Drums:
Gretsch Catalina Maple (my own):

10 x 8 tom
12 x 9 tom
14 x 14 floor
16 x 16 floor
14 x 6 snare
22 x 18 bass

Pearl Export ex (school):

14 x 11 (??) tom
22 x 18 bass

Other:

14 x 5 steel snare (school)
10" piccolo toms (2) (Homemade from a tom)
12 x 10 tom (my own)

Cymbals

My own:
Paiste Alpha:

14" medium hats
14" medium crash
16" medium crash
20" full ride
8" thin splash

School:

Paiste Alpha (old series) 16" crash
Paiste pst 5 16" crash
Paiste pst 5 14" hats

Hardware
Various Gibraltar, Pearl, Sonor and Pulse stands

Other stuff

a pair of unknown bongo's

It was very comfortable to play this set.
I got my set back to home this afternoon, and set it up as a 4 piece.
The first thing I missed was the double bass :)

At this moment I have only 3 pics, maybe there are coming some pics of me playing this monster.

how do you like the reverse toms on the bass - like Bernard Purdie? do they make a difference in your playing?
 
I like it, it's actually inspired by Mike Portnoy. I thought that it would be fun to try something that's not normal, and it worked!! :)

After the last show, we stayed at school until 4:00 am, and it was fun to play metal at 3:00 am after some (??) beers :)

I like film 14 the most.
I started at school's steel snare, and in the end I switched to my own Gretsch Cat Maple snare.

Woah, it's big alright. What was the project you were using it for?

Cute bass player, by the way.
