Thank you. It is clean. It's my home kit. It's setup in my living room (because I'm singleSuch a clean floor. No stick shrapnel, no mud around the pedals. Not even stick marks on the snare head!![]()
I don't know how close you came to setting it up the same way but it certainly looks like you needed a trailer truck to get it all in! Wow... love it!Same kit, same place, two different shows. How close did I come to setting up the same way twice?

It all fits in the back of a Subaru Outback and really, it's just a one-up, two-downI don't know how close you came to setting it up the same way but it certainly looks like you needed a trailer truck to get it all in! Wow... love it!
Thank you. I know it's borderline ridiculous. LOL I do actually use it. My teacher says I don't have a drum set, I have a playground.Is this kit just for show? LOL too perfect!
Kit that is in the rehearsal space (Mapex Saturn), but the cymbals and most of the hardware is mine (haul that with me every time since the hardware there is crap). Was early today and realised i had an unused clamp in my hardware bag, so grabbed a stand from there and used it to mount the toms from there. Much more comfortable setup this way! Been playing there for almost a year and boggles me that i didn't think of this before xD

Did notice my 19" K Dark Thin Crash had a drop in volume, so fear grabbed me again since same thing happened to my 10" A Zildjian splash a month ago and it cracked. Couldn't find a crack after close inspection, so keeping my fingers crossed!
It's not my kit, but a kit provided by the rehearsal studio. They have a Sonor SQ1 in the other room (i far more like this one!). But i didn't fiddle with it too much since it isn't mine. Today i felt it was time for a change since last few rehearsal my shoulders acted up. I do a fair amount of tom and ride work, so this is far better. Just get the entire mount of the bass drum and clamp it up to a random stand there.yep....freeing your toms from the "bass drum prison" is such a liberating thing!!! When I got my new set years ago, that was the first thing I ordered....virgin bass drum, and clamps to mount on cymbal stands (and now, a rack). I wanted to be able to put stuff anywhere I want it
I may need an intervention. While surfing on the Internet, I found a new, matching 18" floor tom. I couldn't resist. LOLGretsch Catalina Club in Blue Satin Flame (10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20).View attachment 138666

Yamaha Crosstown Hardware and FP9C bass drum pedal. Tama throne.
Paiste Cymbals, left to right: 14" 602 ME Hi Hats, 20" ME Crash, 10" PSTX splash, 22" ME Ride, 20" Masters Crash, 8" Signature splash, 22" Masters Swish.
This was for a gig with Adam Brooks Band at Hamilton College's 600 seat Wellin Hall. Mic'ed with only two overheads and a Beta 91. They tell me it sounded good out front. It definitely sounded great onstage.
Beautiful! Side note- and I'm not picking on you, Neal- I know we drummers typically set our kits up the way we've discovered is comfy and ergonomical for ourselves (except maybe beginners who haven't sorted that out yet), so given that, I don't understand having floor toms & side snares set at a different height from the primary snare.- What's the reasoning? Personally, if I was playing a pattern between the snare & FT, or playing them in unison, the different heights would throw me off.View attachment 139102
