Lost my camera's cable so I had to snap these with my cell. I wanted to show off my b-day present :-D

Yamaha Stage custom 12, 16, 24. Luddy Acro. Sabian crash and ride, vintage 15" New Beats and my shiny new 16" Zildjian crash. My girlfriend got it for me and it sounds saweeet.

[MaryO]

Not as impressive of some of these others but seeing as it's my first kit ever...I'm proud of it :)

[mrbling]

since its been ages since i last posted (august last year) thought i would post an update to the thread.

[THC]

I thought this shot came out pretty good.

I like how the right stick was captured at both ends of the stroke.

[uniongoon]

Here is my main kit, crammed into my drum room. They rarely come home, normally my milestone set resides here for practice and this kit stays in the band trailer.
Premier Signia with custom birdseye veneer done by me.





Old original finish, set up on stage somewhere


And from my humble beginnings file

A little later with my Gretsch kit.

[formula428]

Couldn't get a top view because of my low ceiling and wide kit, so I had to do 2 photos:

(cymbals from left to right)

14" new beat hats (old, mid-90s)
6" B8 splash
6" B8 splash (i love the bell/chime sound of these, and they're cheap!)
14" A custom crash
18" Armand thin crash (matches my older 18" thin very nicely)
10" AAX splash (amazing shimmer)
18" A thin crash (old, mid-90s)
20" medium ride
15" A custom crash
18" XS20 china (very trashy, but low-volume)
22" zildjian ride (mid-80s)

(drums from left to right, all Sonor Delite 2006 sq. badge except alternate snare)
Force 3003 14" snare (Audix D2)
Delite 14" snare (Audix i5)
Delite 7x8 (EV 468)
Delite 8x10 (EV 468)

I would love to see a wide angle shot of that entire room, assuming you have them all set up at once. :)

[weslington]

[uniin]

i had to downsize my kit for a gig... absolutely TINY stage! it was refreshing to play on at the least lol.

[Fishbones]

I've already posted my kit in several previous threads. But now that I understand how to do it, why not?

My Ludwig Centennials:

Thank you. This setup is very comfortable, because it lends itself to an open-handed style of playing. There are more possibilities with my drumming now. The only con may be dealing with the reliability of a remote cable hi-hat (my cable broke after a week!). Luckily, I'm about to order one of the Speedy Remote Hats...
