Years of maintaining old equipment are over! Finally able to do this!

Happy drumming all!!

Nice, The Gretsch Renown kits sound really good. That is a nice looking kit and the Pork Pie Patina snare is gorgeous! I wish I never sold mine and am thinking of getting another!

Nice looking kit. Good choice, Renown's are great drums.

Nice! Keith Carlock inspired cymbal setup?

remco · #7 02-02-2013, 07:46 PM

A very nice finish on the toms and i just love the snare.

Na, just evolution. This is the first time I've ever had 3 toms up top so I'm adjusting to that.

I would put the Gretsch Renowns up to just about any other drums in their price range. I have basically the same compliment of drums in about the same configuration. They work out very well and I enjoy playing three across the top. When I bought mine, I replaced the resonant heads on the toms to a heavier, Evans G1 clear head for a beefier and more low frequency sound.

Have fun with them.

I actually rather meant the fact that you seem to have setup a bunch of rides only.

Like this:

the cymbal all the way to his left is a crash.....and often times the cymbal in the middle of the cluster of 3 on his right is a crash......but not always ......so not only rides

Swiss Matthias · #12 02-03-2013, 10:06 PM

You mean on Keith's setup, right? Yes, fair enough. With that being said, Keith usually rides
and crashes all his cymbals anyway :).

a cymbal is a cymbal is a cymbal to me

I have never been much for calling one a ride and one a crash........a cymbal either sounds good or it doesn't

no need to categorize it for specific use in my opinion

I know Keith feels the same

Swiss Matthias · #14 02-03-2013, 11:20 PM

I totally agree.

Nice setup! I've been using coated heads the for last 10 years, getting used to the clear has been interesting as well.

Hi! How did you know what kind they were?

I am pretty good at spotting and identifying drum equipment! I used to work at Guitar Center, plus I study drums for no apparent reason... LOL. I also used to have a Pork Pie Patina Snare.

Once again, great choice in equipment, especially that snare! I plan to buy another, but I may put wood hoops on it this time.

Cool. Been wanting to try woods hopes for a long time!

For some reason, I think they'd sound amazing on this snare!
