Notice how low Jeff Hamilton's tom is:

Your setup reminds me a bit of Jeff's.

On seeing the Yamaha with wooden hoops, I've decided that I want woodys on my Mapex...

Haha.

Now to save up the ridiculous amount of money to do so...

Cheers mate :) The Trick throw is spot-on - super smooth and easy. I gather Trick have now released a chrome version which I wish I had on this drum but hey. To me the rest of the ingredients on the Luddy snare drums is just right so this rounds it out and makes it very useable :)

LOL yea :) I priced-up the Yamaha hoops and they wanted about £1100+ IIRC

I got my hoops from Explorers Drums in the States - can't quite remember what I paid for them but I think it was about half that price including shipping, HM Customs and VAT so it was a no-brainer. They are made from rock maple and are well made and finished.

EDIT: I just found the receipt: the cost for the 8 tom hoops was $395.60. Shipping was $78. I got matching bass drum hoops separately from rockemmusic in the UK. Say £600 all in for this kit - something like that - much better than the £F**MeHowMuch! that Yamaha wanted LOL

[Anthony Amodeo]

Ive posted a very similar pic before.... but I recently got this 8 inch splash thats on top of my 18" medium.....and I absolutely love it

I havent had a splash in so log that its added voice has sparked a bit of creativity

love it

[?uesto]

Here's Derek Roddy's old Sonor Delite bop kit that he loant me until he sold them with my cymbals/Acrolite.

[Arky]

Well that's my "kit".. close to nothing but it has grown recently, haha.
The most recent addition was the Remote Speedy Hat (by Legacy Percussion Gear, designed by Bill Bachman) - arrived just days ago.
Snare = marching tom w/ snare wires (but I'm using a pad on top 99% of the time).
Tom sizes are... Wait, I don't have any ;-) Bassdrum missing also.
Pedals = dw2002 (due to my music dealer) w/ RealFeel kick practice pad (& extra foam)
Hihat = basically no name product but sounds ok. With a Billdidit Coady Clutch drop clutch on top.
That's a pair of cut down Zildjian ZBT hihat cymbals on the Tama Iron Cobra hihat stand.
Ride = Meinl Byzance Dry Ride 20''.
Crash = Doppler Drums 16'' Rock Crash (had a crack -> I DIY'ed it into an "O-zone" style cymbal.)
8 DIY bells waiting to get some bell holders...

The Roland TD-9 e-kit in the background is for temporary use.

I love Rockem, I'm there regularly as I go to university nearby.

Maybe in a year or so... interface and mics first!

how big are those hats, and what are they?

Those bad boys are 18". It's a HHX Evolution Crash over a Signature Saturation Crash. Not the right sound for everything but they definitely have their place. They make such a big dirty groove it's not funny, though you do lose some articulation. 16th note disco beats sound wicked on them! We used a similar combination when we recorded my bands EP and I really fell in love with the sound. I set up my 14" HHX Xcelerators yesterday and they felt so tiny.

That is a beautiful kit!

[Clone285051]

Lignum Custom drums birch ...



Note .. the 2nd bass drum is not connected to a pedal, since it is not possible to go through my metal forest with the drive shaft in this setup.

But as floor on the left it fits quit well :) !

Is that a 14"x 8" snare?

The kit is gorgeous man :)

[Anto]

Mapex Meridian Birch, 13", 16", 18" and 24"

And the same kit mixed with a Pearl 12", 13", 16" and 22".
Note there's only one bass pedal, the second bass drum is basically a tom holder a the moment..

Thanks, Mad. The snare is a Pearl 6.5" Free-Floater. My wife thinks the blue ripple swirl will help promote fresh breath.

This is my Gretsch renown Maple in Silver Oyster Pearl. Picture taken when it was brand new about a week ago, its taken a fair battering since then. Absolutely love it. Shame i dont have instagram though. The snare is a Black Panther machete, its louder than a boeing.
