in my quest for all things ridiculous, i have resorted to building my own drums. the sizes i wanted aren't available in a store, and to have a custom shop make these it would have cost me $10k easy... i bought the raw shells from Keller and ordered the wood hoops from Stellar Drums.
sizes:
Kick: 20x28
Rack Tom: 16x16
Floor Toms: 20x18 and 24x20
Snare: 12x15
Cymbals:
Hats: 15" Zildjian - top is a 70s or 80s and the bottom is a Quick Beat
Ride: 26" Zildjian Medium
Crashes: 20" and 22" Zildjian Medium Rides
Effects: 12", 14" and 16" Wuhan chinas and a Zil-Bel
All of the stands and pedals are Pearl except for a couple Gibraltar clamps and arms...
I'm in the process of installing internal mics in all of the drums except the snare:
here is a link to a sound clip on YouTube.
the first part with individual drum hits is overheads and room mics... then i put on the close mics when i start playing the whole kit.
