Show Us Your Drums!

[pastor_bob]

Hello Everyone,

I'm new here and thought I would post some pics. I am a new/old drummer. I used to play back in the early 80s and just got back into it. It's tough knocking off the rust after all these years! lol Let's see if I can figure this out.

Kent50, I'm glad you finally made your first post so that we can officially say welcome to Drum Chat! What do you call that finish? It not quite a white pearl, but it is beautiful!

[kent50]

Thanks PB! Tama calls it White Satin Haze. They also make it in Turquoise and Reddish Orange. Once I saw it I had to buy it!

[pastor_bob]

Man, I don't blame you there at all! I've never seen anything like it, and it's beautiful!

[CycleDude]

Welcome Kent. That is one super Tama ya got there, bud.

Hey there Kent! Really nice finish. Different for a Tama white.

But, it seems that you didn't ID one of your crashes, or I can't count. Totally possible, it's late here in CA.

What's that Wuhan Ozone sound like? Trashy trashy or musical? Never heard one yet. Looks freakin cool either way. Bill Bruford used a garbage can lid on King Crimson "Red" album to fabulous effect, so, anything can sound musical if you put it in the right place, I guess.

Welcome to the Chat!

Hey GaryR, kent50, drumk, DonnieL........Welcome to Drum Chat!!

Kent, that finish reminds me of one I had on a Slingerland kit in the 70's. Very cool!

[Jordypants]

Me, at some show that BOMBED.

[kent50]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Johnny

You are correct, I did miss one. lol The other crash is an A Custom 17" Projection. As you probably already know Wuhan doesn't make an Ozone. So I took DWDrummers lead and made my own. I like the sound now as it took some of the gongishness (is that even a word!) out of the cymbal. Sounds more trashy now.

[LagerHead]

Nice setup Kent. Welcome to drumchat.

Me, at some show that BOMBED.

Welcome to Drum Chat Jordypants, or should that be Jordyshorts?!!

Nice looking kit Jordy! What's the make? It looks like something ddrum would make, with the white hardware, but I don't recognise the badge. Looks real sharp!

BTW, sorry the show bombed!

[Andreeew]

awesome pics guys

I finally got my Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz in shape for some good pictures. Apparently, this is a limited edition finish with only 140 units produced. I got it new for $429. Regular is $650. I would have went with the natural satin finish, but this deal was too good to pass up.

I took a bunch of pics for a full review I plan on writing. The album is here:

NIce finish on that one, ShaneRoney. And at a great price. I play on one of those as the house kit at a blues jam, and they have a real nice sound.

[Andreeew]

Nice pic, love that finish

[Norske]

Yeah that's definitely a special finish Shane!! WOWSER!

[G-MANN]

ShaneRoney,

That is a really nice set. congratulations.

Cheers,
John

[Mr. Tama]

WOW Shane! Beautiful finish on that bad boy!

[Warriorpoet]

Love that finish Shane! Very nice kit bro!

[therocker]

Shane thats very nice!

[ratmycue]

hey Snane that is a gorgeous looking kit and that custom K ride look's terrific too. How does she sound? I played the 13" akira hybrid hats that look similar and I love them.

[Redeye]

Thanks everyone. So far I'm loving the Cat Club. I was hoping to gig out with it tonight, but the place I'm playing is a bit too big, so I'm taking my Beech Customs. Next weekend I'll get it out of the house and have a better idea of what it can do. I hope to get to a full review soon.

ratmycue - the K Custom is a very sweet ride. Slightly pingy at low volumes, but as time goes by I hope it will mellow out a bit. The bell is heavenly. It's one I plan on keeping for the duration.

[pastor_bob]

Man, that snare looks outstanding close up Shane!

[defcon235]

beauty of a kit shane! im lovin that finish too!

[G-MANN]

I forgot to mention what an excellent wrap color that set has. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Also there are some bizzare but really striking reflections from the wrap on the bottom of your ride on that second photo.

Cheers,
John
