Setting up for a private party gig this evening. Windy conditions so hooray for heavy weight double braced cymbal stands. (Not my rug... that's the house rug).

Got a decent pregame POV pic from the gig tonight. Glad the outside gig was tonight (at 96 degrees F) as tomorrow is gonna be 109F in Bakersfield. 
This is probably my favorite configuration, which oddly enough I rarely take out. 12-16-22, all in traditional depths, with a 5.5” snare. Cymbals are 602s - 15” SE Hats, 22” Thin Flat Ride and 20” Thin Crash.

Nothing major, just two new cymbals: 18" Paiste Alpha Thin Crash instead of the 17"(*), 18" Paiste PSTX Swiss Thin Crash instead of the 16"(**):
Oh, and I've been able to move the 16" floor tom closer by inverting its leg.
(*) I own a 18" 2002 Thin Crash, but for some reason the Alpha simply fits better.
(**) I tried both and went with the 16" at first, but that turned out to lack a bit of volume. The 18" does not, it just has way too much sustain.
It's the first time I had to dampen a cymbal.

POV from the gig tonight. It’s a larger venue so I went with my 24” bass drum again. Since I’m running that drum with a full resonant head, I mic it from the batter side. This pic shows that mic placement well. My 13” mounted tom also made a rare appearance.
Rounding out things are my 602s - 15” SE hats, 22” Thin Flat and 18” Thin Crash. The coated Ambassadors rang like church bells on this stage. Had to knock some of that sustain back once the music got rolling. It’s taken a lifetime of trial and error, but I’m finally at a point where I’m truly happy with my gear.

Motion Pro. It’s an MVP piece of equipment for me. I’ve had mine for about 10 years now and won’t use anything else. I keep a second one at home for my practice rig/back up.

Tama silverstar mini kit. I've had a lot of fun kitting it out and adding the extras you see here. I even replaced my original Tama throne with a Roc-n-soc. Shells are all Tama, cymbals from Zildjian, Wuhan & Paiste, hardware is mostly Tama, a few Yamaha pieces. Just recently started playing and its a struggle atm.

Subbed for a friend’s cover band last night. Broke my ‘No Outdoor Gigs In Summer’ rule. Sweated off twenty pounds. 3 hours of playing the hits. Enthusiastic crowd. Brought the ‘64 Ludwigs out, and some of my favorite Paistes. 14” Signature dark crisp hats, 17” Signature mellow crash, 24” Giant Beat, 22” Masters Swish.
