Show Us Your Drums!

Here's what I think will end up being the working version of this kit. I've drug a rack out to gigs the last couple of weekends, and I think a simple 4 piece will be what I settle on. Check it out...

Nice Kit!

New to this forum!

Nice kit Bob and welcome to the forum!

I added to my kit. A friend of mine came by and can't believe I have this huge of a kit.I never intended it to be this big,Yamaha made it tempting with the low prices. The Pearl Icon rack holds things pretty solid.Glad I have this rack instead o f the cheapo Pearl DR 80 rack.I am looking for another set of Octobans so I can have a set of 4 on the side.
Pictures of my kit don't do it any justice.It doesn't look as big.A person I work with came by and said they looked bigger in person then in pictures and then asked why I wasn't in a band for since I sunk so much money into this kit.

Thanks PB! I really like this kit, all around. The rack is even growing on me too. I spent a few hours today, working with it and was able to tighten the footprint up quite a bit, which is what I'm used to. It now feels as efficient as my Tama kit. Next up are new heads...

I like how these are set up. Couldn't imagine how you would fit that all on a rack unless you sent me those Octobans LOL!

Thanks Jazzkat................

That snare is a DWPS steel 8 x 14 I picked up new for just under $300..............definitely surprised me, it's a great snare.

At first, I was looking for a Ludwig coliseum because I wanted a deep snare, but I "settled" for this one.........No buyers remorse on this one.

[markthechuck]

lovely kits everyone.

Cheers Mark
