cavica · #48 01-24-2008, 07:45 PM

Those drums from NAMM look insane, especially that green monster of a kit. Keep the picts coming there great.

rmandelbaum · #50 01-25-2008, 10:18 PM

this is my 12 piece DW Collector's series set. I won this in 2006. Bozzio influenced Kuriilain Birch finish...Maple shells and it sounds amazing.

druid · #52 01-25-2008, 10:31 PM

Yep......THAT,....is actually my kit Metal O.....no I am not kidding;-) I won the Terry Bozzio contest two years ago....Chamberworks which I had bought anyway being a fan of Bozzios' work..then I discovered there was a contest where you had to send in the serial code and your own information...I sent ONE entry ( somethers did a ton)...I got a call a month or so later and felt like passing out;-).....you do have to pay gift taxes on it when you win something over 10K...but still it was an incredible "buy" in that sense.

I was just doing warmups tonight on the snare actually. And it took awhile to get used to playing a big set again ( I had one as a teen) but I have consciously worked on material that incorporates a big set up....not just roundhouse fills.

druid · #56 01-26-2008, 03:33 PM

Hey, here are my kits.

First one is a custom Azure Fade Satin Oil maple kit with black hardware. Sizes on that kit are 8x8", 9x10", 10x12", 12x14" and 18x20". All the shells are regular.

DW built me an acrylic snare to go with the kit, it is a 7x14"

My other kit is a custom "Diablo Flames" graphics maple kit with black diamond hardware. Sizes on that one are 7x8", 8x10", 9x12", 13x15", 14x18" and 18x23". 10" and 12" are VLT, 8", 15", 18", 23" are X-Shells. The kit has a matching 6,5x14" 10 ply VLT snare.

I'm still waiting for the hardware to set it up and will post pictures of the final set up soon.

negativeattitude · #59 01-29-2008, 03:26 PM

Bodo Stricker

I was going to post pics of my new dw kit over here in this thread today, but seeing that you decided to post something like this.......I'll wait a while!(they would only get lost in the sea of questions and comments I would expect!)

The Diablo Flame.........absolutely beautiful man! Enjoy them!

baz · #60 01-30-2008, 02:35 AM

...my 14x14 came in today

Now that I have graduated to a five piece, i may have to grow another arm.

Toomstone · #61 02-01-2008, 06:50 PM

I'll play!

Here's mine. Before anyone says anything about the tom angles :), I changed them recently. This is an older picture. I also have one of my edge snare that I had made to match the set. It's a crappy picture but you can still see it.

Would anyone really say anything about the tom angles?

Playing drums is all about comfort and personality. I love the fact that everyone comes up with their own little details. I know the trend right now is low, flat toms, but don't let anyone tell you how to play if you're more comfortable playing another way.

Cheers! oh, and sorry if I came off sounding preachy.

Barry,
That set is looking really sweet and classy. It's probably my favorite of your kits.

All of those look nice... But that last pic, the finish is so nice. It seems like something you would see on a Mapex Orion.

...Sat Sri Akall Aydee.

I have to play witht these a little bit more as the 14 and 16 sound pretty close (to my ears). I have not had too much time to fine tune them yet. Right now I am working 12 to 16 hours a day, so when I get home I might smack them around for a couple of minutes, if I am lucky.

I am looking forward to having a couple of days off so I can really give them a good test drive.

Later my friend.

Your set makes me feel all warm inside

Bodo Stricker · #71 02-06-2008, 10:54 AM

Hardware came, new kit set up.

Rogue Elephant · #72 02-06-2008, 12:30 PM

Wow, Bodo. Normally, I don't really care for DW's graphics line, but those are really nice. Great setup.

rmandelbaum · #73 02-06-2008, 04:31 PM

Dude, your drums are on fire!!!

Very nice

druid · #74 02-13-2008, 04:44 PM

I like the natural wood finish on that set. I am a big fan of the wood finishes from DW. the satin chrome is also really nice and that is what my set has also. DW used to have a "Spider Pine" kit in blue stain that was incredible looking!

Super cool.
I saw the sizes on the post below, and I gotta say a 12-15-18 is a really great combination.

I like it because you can get all the cool 12" toms highs, to the awesome 18" low, and you're only carrying a couple drums, but it's beefier than with a 14-16.

And the 13X15 is one of the great size drums--real cool for a FT.
Waaay better than a 14x14 IMO.

How is that 14X18?

I've always been curious about that size.

I love 14X16's.

They still get the deep, big sound, but it's faster in getting the 'total sound' happening.

Is it same with the 14X18?

jwdrums · #78 02-21-2008, 10:41 PM

My DW Gold Glass VLT shells came in yesterday!

10x7" tom
14x5" snare w/ may mic
15x12" floor tom
20x18" kick w/ may mic

rmandelbaum · #79 02-22-2008, 06:03 AM

Very nice!!

Great stuff

I have had the kit in the studio this past weekend and I am absolutely thrilled. I haven't played floor toms in years, but I was lacking some extra low end with my other 8, 10, 12, 14 setup. So I decided to go with some floor toms in combination with the new X-shells.

The 13x15" X-shell tom sounds WAY bigger than the 14x16" I had on my old Yamaha Maple Custom, and the 14x18" X-shell tom is almost like a kick drum. VERY deep, big sound with defined attack and nice sustain. So yes, I guess you could say the "total sound" is happening really fast.
