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 have a smaller kit that I play out with.

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!

It all fits in the back of a Subaru Outback and really, it's just a one-up, two-down

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.

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.
I get with what you mean with toms from stands or a rack (done both), but i like this far more. Gets the ride in a comfy low position and so much easier to position everything.
Hope someday to use my own (huge) kit again, but still have fun on this baby

My P.O.V. from last week's gig... up against the back wall of a very small stage... this was literally as far back as I could get with the camera.
Not complaining, either - it's a great club with a very enthusiastic crowd.

Quick update after the pic a week ago. Added the bigger stack again and really enjoying this smaller setup. Yeah, ok... i keep adding cymbals, but i like how i can add extra stuff without having to haul around extra stands etc. and make due with small Gibraltar boom arms and a clamp. Pushing the limit now, but it was great fun having the stack again after a year or so. Oh btw the stack is a Paiste PST-X 14" Flanger Crash with a Meinl Generation-X 12" Filter China on the bottom (bell up). Both are inexpensive cymbals that make a great stack!
Been using the PST-X 18" Swiss Medium Crash and the 2002 10" Splash for a while now and both are amazing cymbals. Although the Swiss Crash is labelled 'medium', it's more comparable to my Zildjian Medium Thin Crashes. It's lighter because of the holes, but it's thinner than the Zildjians. The 2002 splash is my fav cymbal at the moment, so happy with it! Just the quintessential splash sound!

I may need an intervention. While surfing on the Internet, I found a new, matching 18" floor tom. I couldn't resist. LOL

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.

That’s a thick ring on the snare. What is it?

It’s a Roots EQ ring. Used it on some but not all of the songs.

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.

Yeah, sorry. I actually lowered the snare after I snapped the photo.
. I typically keep them pretty level, though I'm not super-picky about it, to be honest. Good catch, though!
