Hey, I'm new here. A refugee from the Drums.com forum. I've been watching videos on DW for a while but never really knew that there was such a great forum lurking in the background. Seems like a pretty mature vibe here so far and tons of great info.
Anyway, figured I'd kick off with a post on my kit. It's a Maple X-Shell/VLT hybrid in exotic Mapa Burl with a lacquer Burst that I specced out in PhotoShop. Sizes are 8, 8, 10 , 12, 13, 14, 16, 18 & 20. All in standard depths except for the "little" 8, which is 5" deep. The matching snare is a 5x14 solid shell Maple. The second snare is a 5.5x13 solid bronze. The three octo's are part of a custom set I had whipped up by Fibes a while back.
Btw, I set the kit up like this for about a week or so before I decided that I really hate this layout and have changed it dramatically since. It has some merit, but having half your toms over the hats just blows rocks, IMO.
