So, remember my last thread? When I got that PDP 805? It's been a couple months, and I have some new pictures.
I found these drums on Craigslist that I went to pick up, but the thing is, they were total crap. Except the people selling them recommended a local music store where everything is used. Used=dirt cheap.
I really hated how my only rack tom didn't mount on my bass drum, and it just hung off a cymbal stand clamp. So I mixed and matched some used drums from this music store, and found an AMAZING drum. An Pearl Export 22" bass drum with a STUNNING red to black fade finish. It even had an Aquarian Super Kick II on it! Perfect!
So now I needed two rack toms to mount on it. We looked in this giant room of drums (I wish I took more pictures, as there we MUCH MORE. The person who worked there found two black Export rack toms with a clamp, sizes 12 and 13." Excellent!
We bought new heads for the toms, because one of the heads was BEATEN UP. And I took the stock head off of my current rack tom and replaced it with the Evans one on one of my new ones.
Pictures!
My first kit (totally beginner):
How it used to be (my first real kit):
The crappy brandless Craigslist drums:
The store I went to:
The drums I found:
The beaten-up Evans (really old) drum head:
Before I put the other bass drum on (my old PDP 805 one):
And how it looks now....drum roll please....
