The bonzo kit! I want one
This one just kind of fell into my lap at an opportune time. It wasn’t planned, though I did have an underlying lust for an acrylic kit.The bonzo kit! I want one
Yep, that's wut you see when you play with your eyes closed... nothing!Raise your hands, who sat there waiting for the image to load?
Beautiful set up ! I am a bit biased though as mine is the BB 8,10,12,14,16 matching 6.5 snare if I’m not using the Supra, but kick is 22x18. Molten brown burst as wellMy 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.

LOL, the seat is bigger than the drumset, I dig it!I’ve got my little practice rig and drum room pretty much dialed in now. Just need to pull my Manhasset stand out of my storage locker, dust off my copy of Modern Reading Text, get it set up right there in front of my Ahead practice snare pad and I’ll be fully operational.
I’ve been working on left hand lead stuff lately. Nothing too crazy - just simple grooves and coordination exercises getting my hands doing things they’re not used to doing. Will probably incorporate the left hand lead thing into my reading practice as well.
If you zoom in a bit, you can see that Abby the Cat approves of the setup, as does Figgy Marley - the plant is some kind of mini-fig tree. I dunno, that’s a Mrs. RVC thing but it puts me in a good mood having it there.
The rest of the room is home to a bunch of black DW drums, all in Beato bags, ready to roll to whatever the next job is.

Larger sticks are often easier to control for newbies. I would suggest trying a pair of VF SD1 General sticks. Great sticks to use with pad, like your situation.They seem to impart more mass/energy, right around the fulcrum area- helping me control my spazzy left hand!
Is that a Gretch kit?My drum room (the important part at least)
