Sonor Martini - Champagne Sparkle
14" Mapex Steel Piccolo Snare
Aquarian/Evans heads

Cymbals:
13" Agazarian hi hats paperthin weight (Excellent "Chick", terrible sounding with closed and hit with stick, luckily I don't play many backbeats)
16" Agazarian crash, paperthin weight
18" Dream Crash/Ride, tape on uderside to calm down the wash a bit
19" Soultone Natural Unlathed Flat Ride (Best $100 I ever spent, sounds exactly like a "Turk" cymbal from any Turkish brand)

Hardware:
Sakae Flat-based Hi hat stand
Vintage flat-based cymbal stands
Tama Iron Cobra Jr. Pedal

I have been tweaking the setup for a while now and am finally pleased with it. I want to upgrade the hi hats and maybe sell the Dream and get an Istanbul.

Thanks for looking!

Last week I replaced my two main crashes which were cracked, they were 17" and 19" K Dark Thins. The replacements are 20" and 19" HHX Stage Crashes.

New here, been lurking for years though, and feel like I know some of you personally after all I've read. Figured I can take opportunity to post to a thread, finally.

anyway...My new Yamaha Stage Custom birch. This was a photo OP for the fresh heads actually. Replaced factory batters with Evans G2 (coated , obviously). These heads ARE as awesome as everything I've read. (so thanks all).

Thanks,

T

Keeping it simple with a 12, 14, 16, 22 set up. Changed out that controlled sound for a coated ambassador and I'm running coated emperors over coated ambassadors on the toms, coated powerstroke 3 over coated Ludwig Weathermaster head on bass with a 2" felt strip against the reso. I'll be changing the powerstroke 3 and the emperors to coated ambassadors soon, love the open sound I get!

Cymbals are 14" New Orleans hats, 17" K Hybrid crash, and 22" Impression Smooth ride.
