Fresh out of the box, my new Ludwig Neusonic kit. Getting together with some old friends this weekend to break them in a bit.
Let's see your POV/ Driver's seat pics

Here is my home studio Gretsch Renown:
Although I live in a detached house and can play an acoustic kit without having the police knocking at the door in a minute, lately I usually play with RTOM Black Hole silent heads on the toms and snare, an Aquarian Super Pad on the bass and Evans silent cymbals.
It is just a matter of seconds to pull off the RTOM and Aquarian heads and about a minute to switch the cymbals for regular ones to play acoustic again.
BTW: a downside of the RTOM heads is that the cross stick sound is lost so I DIY-ed a piece of wood on a cowbell stand.

Does the wood piece actually work or does it work solely for low volume situation like this? Good idea!

It sounds thinny in this clip but it works.
A real cross stick is louder though.

Hey that's cool! Seems like the perfect solution for a low volume set up

dfo member "RyanLovesDrums" posted there these pics of Bill Stewart's Show set up last evening..
States drums were a house kit (what are they anyone recognize?)
and cymbalologist Paul Wells 73 fills in details of the cymbals:
Main ride was a "Dry Complex II prototype, but the rest (besides the splash) are Old Ks."
what I found interesting there and thought worth posting here was that
people are still using Old Turkish K Zildjian's (Yay!)
in 2024
guarantee he chose those after looking
(last one was built in 1978)
at many many till he found the right ones for him.
top hi hat looks familiar to late 1976 New Stamp 14 I have
and the left side 20" doesn't bother him it has a keyhole (solid)

Here's a backline kit I played last month. A Customs and Recording Customs aren't what I usually play, but I sure could have ended up with a lot worse!

From the gig yesterday, at a little wine place in Bakersfield, with possibly the worst acoustics of any venue I’ve ever played. The new flat ride was especially useful in this setting.
Besides the pic, I have a super short little video for an idea of the sound and also the volume level I’m often required to play. Oh yeah, that weird looking pink orb in the pic is a light in the tip suitcase.
Here’s the vid:

My Starclassic W/B kit in Molten Brown burst , with cowbell clamped to a kick drum mic stand so I don’t have to clamp it to the wood hoop. I also had to replace the EMAD kick head and decided to save $20 and get a Remo Black Dot. I crumbled some newsprint and threw it in the front port and sounds pretty good.

7” x 8 , 8" x 10", 9" x 12" - Floor Toms (Depth x Diameter):
12" x 14", 14" x 16" - Bass Drums (Depth x Diameter):

Did you get the regular black dot or the power stroke version with the inner edge ring? Both great heads. I'm an unapologetic Evans fanboy BUT I absolutely love the entire Remo black dot line.

I find my self playing with my eyes closed with songs like "Riders on the Storm", "Wicked Game", and "Fever" taking it all in as I'm in my zone!
