Nice. But don't go and buy a ZHT Crash! You have two excellent crashes, aybe you wanna upgrade the hats or the ride first.
 
What Do You Mean About My Bass Drum?
Sorry I dont understand

I believe he is saying he thinks there is a lot of muffling material in the kick drum, and you would not get much sound (tone) out of it.
 
That's a nice kit, it's cool to see another 14 year old with a PDP kit.

Suggestions...put your ride on the boom stand so it can be over your bass drum, closer to the toms. And then I think it might be more comfortable if you raised your toms up a little bit.

Oh...and welcome to Drummerworld!
 
Welcome to the forum....

3 out of 4 people agree no matter what age you are.......

PDP ROCKS !!!!!
 
Shoud i take some out? Im olny new i dont really new i dont know allot

If the drums sound the way you like (maybe a short thump) then you are fine as is. A little less muffling will allow you to keep the thump, but add a bit of sustain/tone. It's all personal preference.

Though it does seem like unless you are really trying to keep the volume low, maybe it would be better to pull out about 1/2 of that stuff.

Normally, a small pillow on the inside just touching (on the edge) of the batter side will give you a standard sound without choking the drum too much. The pillow only needs to touch 4-6" of the bottom of the drumhead to damp it.
 
nice kit, i got a pdp too and love it.
Buy yourself an evans emad bass drum head, your bass will sound like a cannon.
 
IMHO, the first thing I would do is take my cymbals out of the sky. I would be straining to reach them.
