Show Off Your DW Kit

This is My DW Performance Kit I bought about a year ago through ZZounds. 22x18, 16x14, 12x9 in Pewter Sparkle with G2s on the toms, an Evans EMAD2 on the kick, and an Evans ST Dry on the snare, still have not replaced the stock resos. I love my floor tom but I am more of a 14'' floor tom kida guy so I might switch that out at some point.

Hardware is Dw 9000 bass pedal, boom stand and hi-hat stand with Sabian 14" X-Cellerator Hi-hats and a 22'' Sabian Omni which is my favorite cymbal ever.

Also pictured is a 14x5.5 polished brass Tama Snare which I would like to know more about if anyone knows anything I can give details.I plan on replacing it with a 14x6.5 DW Collector's Nickel Over Brass. More/closer-up pictures to come!!!

Here ya go! My band The Baby Magic ( http://thebabymagicmusic.bandcamp.com/ ) was filming a music video Saturday and they really wanted to shoot outside by this graffitti wall so I thought it would be a great opportunity for some pics. Enjoy!

Here is a picture of my former DW Jazz series kit, 18/12/14 - sold this kit when I bought my Yamaha Club Custom kit. The DW was a nice kit, the Club Customs are special drums.

10x13 Edge African Chechen snare (natural to candy brown fade) (yep...10" deep Edge)
8x10 twisted maple hanging tom natural satin (I have the matching 11x14 hanging floor, but it's not in this picture)
13x14 twisted maple natural satin floor tom
14x16 floor tom (will be used behind secondary snare)
6.5x14 African Chechen natural to red fade snare
18x20 natural maple kick (early 90's) natural satin
12x20 natural maple kick/woofer (early 90's) natural satin
All DW rack and hardware

Thanks! It's surprisingly punchy and deep. What's so cool about it though is it's diversity. Depending on the heads, muffling, mallet choice, etc... it seems to a be a much more dynamic drum than my 20+ inchers. I'm sure the the extreme depth and compact diameter have everything to do with that. :)

I know that Tiger White (drummer for Jon Conner) was using this kick as his primary for both recording and live performances. I'll see if I can get some samples for you in the next week or so on YouTube, and I'll attach the link.
 
Love the Gadd-signed crash. I got one through his crowd funding campaign (for Gadditude) but I put it on the wall. Like that you're playing yours. Inspiring.
 
staged for departure from the factory -- DW Classics, Black Diamond Finish Ply, 14x22/8x12/16x16

Posted pics before, but here is my DW Performance kit from a recent convention show. I'm now rocking 9000 series pedals and have changed from a regular K ride to a K Custom ride. I took an extended break from drumming and have been playing bass mostly the last several years. When I was drumming before, I was using a Pearl Masters Custom MMX kit that I absolutely loved. I like these much, much more. Just superb drums all the way around.

 
still playing it as a 4 piece. its simple and great!

That is a good looking kit.....................I really like the smaller "performance" lugs.
