AE Gauthier · #18 07-31-2006, 04:21 AM

I'm in love with that Brady man. All those kits are gorgeous.

Bonzo91 · #19 07-31-2006, 04:32 AM

Speechless................

chops4kicks · #20 07-31-2006, 06:53 AM

would you be willing to share what your job is, or is that a little to personal?

Ozzy Biz · #21 07-31-2006, 07:13 AM

Wow. The brady is absolutely stunning, the pork pies are damn fine, and the DW is a piece of art. What are the wood kits shells? i.e. maple, birch, oak, something exotic from downunder by brady, etc.

...damn you...

franklinj · #22 07-31-2006, 07:15 AM

Holy God! Nice man, nice!

Got a question on the Brady: are the Brady kits made up of plys, or are they solid shell?
Either way, they have some amazing grain!

Drummerboy3940 · #23 07-31-2006, 07:23 AM

They are all AMAZING. WOW. The Brady is my favorite.

gmrakich · #24 07-31-2006, 08:30 AM

Brady a Jarrah (sp?) Very hard wood, 4 or so more than American rock maple. The shells are very thin.
All the Pork Pie are maple except for the obvious one :^ )
The snare with the red kit is solid white ash.
Brady snare is sheoak wood verticle block.
I am a full time musician and also own my own high end custom interior design company..

Fardunda · #25 07-31-2006, 08:39 AM

Speechless.......Awesome Greg!

Drummer Karl · #26 07-31-2006, 03:24 PM

Dude, are you rich?! Hahaha, just kidding, great kits, the Brady looks awesome man!!

Very cool.

Karl

Drums558 · #27 07-31-2006, 06:25 PM

Tell the truth, your dead and these are pic's from heaven!
Man that brady is sweet, all the other kits are way nice, but the brady is a cut above.
I suppose you have a super model for a wife too (sorry that may be too personal), your definently a lucky man.

The Trick Pedals are great. I really notice how good they feel when I am playing double kick. Butter smooth. I didn't like the beaters they came with at first but after trying others beaters, I gave the original ones a second try and liked them...go figure. As far as worth the money, I got the pair for 500.00 so that I guess is not to bad.

Class A Drummer · #31 07-31-2006, 09:13 PM

Those are awsome pics man. When i saw the red one i thought "wow is the neil peart in disguise?"

You are the third person to mention that about the red.

check out his page on the main site, the new black one is pretty much the exact setup (different cymbal setup though), he even has the floor tom on the left of him.

kickit100 · #34 07-31-2006, 09:48 PM

Fat Elvis · #35 07-31-2006, 10:02 PM

I still have a few kits in reserve....just in case : ^ )

driver · #37 07-31-2006, 10:42 PM

haha thats insane! You could take them apart and give every member on the board a new kit.

larrylover · #38 07-31-2006, 11:09 PM

dude those totally suck! just kidding! they are sweet.

MyNameIsRyan · #39 08-01-2006, 12:44 AM

Having all those kits would complete my life, and demolish my bank account. Those kits are amazing, you are one lucky person.

zildjian_dude101 · #40 08-01-2006, 12:54 AM

Ya, that had to cost a pretty penny. But very well spent! I say I like the red one the best. Or the one with the natural type finish.
