My ultimate drum kit would be, my own drums, but instead of stands i would have semi naked women holding up my cymbals and snare drum.

And that each time i played my kit, there would be a different set of semi naked women holding up my cymbals.

A few seconds needed, to think about that thought.

Lovely.



Sorry, its a bit male shovernist,

but at the end of the day i am a bloke..

Anyone know of any good cymbal stands.

But still my KK's do a lovely job..

The larger of the two kits will be my main kit, whilst the second smaller one will be used for playing in cover bands and the like. A lot of pop/rock music requires a washier ride cymbal that is also crashable, hence the RUDE Ride/Crash as my ride cymbal on the smaller kit.

The larger kit has a relatively symmetrical setup, for working both left and right hand lead.

17" X-plosion Crash
10" Evolution Splash

Evans Drumheads.
 
It changes from year to year (even after 46 of them).
 
THIS elegant and classic 4 piece setup ...

I not only want the drums but the deal he got on them!

The kit is a Camco LA Calif set in natural wood in 22,16,13 with matching snare ... they sound amazing and are in excellent condition even after years of pro gigging.

They belong to my friend and 1st call drummer I work with a lot these days Dennis Falanga. He got the kit years ago, seems he was helping a guy clean out his house and came across the kit stacked in the attic under a pile of dust, long story short he ended up taking the drums in lieu of the $75.00 the guy was going to pay him for the job!

My Sonor 3007s are set up nearly identically as Dennis uses them at our rehersal space.

Here they are in action on our recent New Years eve gig on Beale street in Memphis.

Sorry if either one of these have been posted already...

I'm a huge fan of these two kits: Patrick Keeler's kit he played on Austin City Limits, and Matt Chamberlain's Copper Croviotto kit.

Alan White's Ludwig maple classics. And maybe a nice vintage set of big band drums to keep in my home.

I'm actually in discussion with a drum builder based in the USA about building an endorsement kit that really is my dream kit! Sizes are:

22x21 kick (diameter x depth)
16x17 kick
8x7 Tom
10x7 Tom
12x8 Tom
14x12 floor
16x14 floor
10" snare
14" snare

All drums (except maybe snares) will be hybrid acrylic maple acrylic maple. The maple will be veneered to birds eye or similar. All stained black with gold hardware. The acrylic will be slightly smoked (darker) and it'll all have gold hardware.

When it's built and In my grubby little hands I'll push some pictures!!!!

Cymbals I'm pretty much already there! I won't list the lot, but it's all Sabian. Included an HH raw bell dry ride 21", HHX evolution crashes, HH fusion 13" hats bottom with an AAXplosion 13" top hat. AAX and HH splashes, Vault Holy China, and, Bizzarely, Stagg Bells!

2x iron cobra double pedals (left foot of the 2nd is played by the right foot for the 16" kick)
And all rack toms on a pearl icon rack, also coated gold. That'll do!
 
My dream kit is in progress I can say.

Gert Breughelmans from Lignum drums is building my drum set I ordered in January.
It will be made from staves Birch wood ...
