Johnny's DW kit!!!

[Vegas Island]

I just got this today after months of waiting. I love it!!! Introducing my DW kit, nicknamed "Mojlnir" aka Thor's Hammer! 18x26 bass, 9x13 rack tom, 12x14 & 14x16 floor toms, Tama 6.5x13 snare. More pics to come very soon as I'm still setting up and tuning.

Sweet kit! I must say I'm suprised that you went with a 14 & 16 for floor toms. Usually you see a 16 & 18 with a 26" kick!

Cymbals specs please? And is that an SSC kit?

I'll have better more detailed pics up later today. But to answer your questions...

DW gets a LOT of boom out of their toms. I was nervous at first but now am thrilled that I went with 14 & 16 inch toms. They sound INCREDIBLE. Very deep. Also easier to carry due to a slightly smaller size. They also make the 26" kick look even bigger.

It was a custom ordered Collectors series maple kit. I placed the order in late July and got it 09/30/11. It came out even better than I thought it would. The phone pic I published doesn't really do it justice. The 13" rack tom is a VLT, 14" floor is a X, 16" floor is a VLX, and the bass is standard.

My cymbals are all Zildjian: 14" A Mastersound hi-hats, 20" A ping ride, 18" A projection crash, 16" & 18" Z Custom Crashes (not pictured yet). I'm picking up stands for them today. The snare is a Tama 6.5x13" Metalworks in brushed nickel and it sounds GREAT!

More pics to come soon... and THANKS!!!

Got to love the black hardware on white. I am a little biased. Very fresh looking.

That black nickel hardware is phenomenal! It also matches very well between the DW kit and the Tama snare.

Have you seen my little black and white kit.

how do you like the pitch progression between 13->14->16? i'd thought something more common with that size bass drum would be 13->16->18, or 14->16->18.

looks beautiful though!

Beautiful kit. I bet it sounds as good as it looks.

Awesome; what kind of Tama snare is that. You thinkin about a DW to go with it?
