Here's my Spaun kit: 20x18, 12x7, 15x13, 14x5. First pic is the standard 4-piece setup. The second pic is especially for DMConga, a slight variation on my setup. Basically, I just moved the small tom to the center and the ride cymbal off to the right. I really liked the feel of this setup, but I found that the placement of the tom there interfered with rimclicks on the snare, and it was a little more difficult to setup too. So, I generally go with a standard 4-piece setup.

...here are some pics of "MY" drums from our Valentines gig.

For those of you who do not know these drums by heart, once again the sizes are 24x16, 16x16, 13x9, 14x6 maple snare. Cymbals, sabian 20" manhattan, 14"hh daek hats, 16"hh thin crash, 17" hhxtreme crash.

I like the sepia toned black and white shots as they suit us.

I'm not sure if a rack fits into the 4-piece aesthetic, but this is being a fun kit for me: Tama Starclassic Performer Birch (10x12, 12x15, 18x22), 6.5x14 Black Beauty, Zildjian and Diril cymbals.

That would work well if you just moved your rack a little further away and then re-adjusted your cymbals so that you could reach them. I like the look.

That is incredibly sweet! I have never seen v-lites with an 18" kick. Is that something you made from a floor tom or did Ludwig?

Hybridt@vo · #**138** 03-03-2009, 04:49 AM

My only comment is to take some dust off of those babies. That is drum abuse.

Dan Phillips · #**143** 03-05-2009, 07:14 PM

I re-arranged the cymbal booms to open up the front (and to give more clearance around the kick).

Disco Stu · #**144** 03-06-2009, 06:46 AM

^^Very nice. Haven't heard of Diril cymbals before, but they look nice. Love the old school drum throne. And the Black Beauty is sweetness.

Drifter in the Dark · #**146** 03-06-2009, 04:22 PM

Drums558, I have to say that is one of the best-looking kits I've ever seen. I really like the natural wood stripes! (quilted maple I assume?) I've seen plenty of sparkle finishes that use the same concept, but they make the drumset look too much like a sports car IMO.
This one looks very classy though; looks like it's ready to take the stage at Lincoln Center!

lordmarco · #**148** 03-06-2009, 05:35 PM

this is my acrylic drumkit, i've used this for many shows and some tours-

drums made by ZICKOS (back in the 70's)

(12" tom, 14" floor tom, 22" bass drum)

Thank you! The throne is from my other kit, a Yamaha HipGig. All the HipGig hardware fits inside of it, and it's comfy enough.

Diril is a new brand, started in mid-2008 by the guy who previously did at least some of Meinl's Byzance line. These seem different from the Meinl cymbals, however; more Zildjian-esque. I saw them at NAMM, and they had some great deals, so I picked up a set of them. VirtualCymbals.com carries them.

Here's an old picture of my old genistas in 4pc setup. I know, the black front head doesn't match at all.. later switched to white.

Where did you get the wood hoops for your toms. I am thinking of picking up a couple of pairs for my toms.

Once again, very nice.
