    Yeah I agree. Great kit. Just didn't do it for me. I'm more of a pearl guy. I also wanted a smaller kit.

    Well, it wasn't just the finish. I couldn't get the sound that I wanted from it.

    I'm very fortunate to own a number of kits, but I wanted to try something a little different for two new band projects.

    A different layout to my traditional and a kit that would incorporate a number of factors:

    1) Great tones ranging from jazz to punchy rock from a small and portable kit.
    2) Electronics that would allow me to create live drum loops and play keyboard and patch samples.
    3) A wide range of cymbal sounds and effects.
    4) Minimal hardware, once again for portability.

    After a long period of trying kits, cymbals and hardware, this is what I have ended up with.






    Having moved to Diril cymbals, there is a huge range to choose from, so the set up here, may not be my final ones I use, but as a brand they cover so many basis, I know I will find every last detail that I am looking for in their range.

    I would possibly not use all the stacks for one of the projects, so that would also add to the portability and ease of set up, but using just two main side racks that can remain loaded, makes life so much easier!

    It is great fun to play and I am looking forward to the new projects.

    I haven't been using the Duallist D4 for a couple of years, so I need to change my style again, but I got on great with it before.

    As requested, here is my ex Pink Floyd DW - The photo was taken at Joe's Garage, All Saints' Arts Centre, London in 2010. Pink Floyd played the same venue on the same date, but in 1966!

    This is a set i964 Leedy drums, from the period when the Slingerland company was making them in Niles Illinois.



    The bass drum is virgin, the 12" tom originally clamped to the bass drum rim. I found a 1958 13" tom in the matching finish and use "Rims" to mount the toms on a DW stand as shown here. The snare drum in these photos is a 1958 Slingerland Radioking in the matching finish.

    I took this kit to "Big Beat" one year. Here is Bun E. Carlos checking it out.



    Here is my 1981 Gretsch "Drop-G" kit.



    Here it is again, next to my DWs.

    Nice kits, all. How did you attach the RIMS mounts to the Leedy toms? Did you remove the diamond plate brackets and replace with the RIMS brackets? Did this involve drilling any new holes? Inquiring minds wish to know, please. Thanks!

    The reason that I went with the rims mounts is that they do not attach to the shell. The tension rods go through them on their way into the lugs. They require no modifications to the shells.

    I left the diamond plates intact, they don't really show and do not interfere. Plus, it leaves the kit "stock".

    Thank you for your reply! Leaving the shells stock was my main point of interest on a vintage set.I swapped some emails with Gary Gauger in September, 2012, about doing this with my 1965 Slingerlands. This was his reply:"The dimensions of the diamond plate are a little too large to fit our Universal Side plate. The vertical measurements would work but the sides of the metal plate hang over the sides of our plate by about 1/4". However, here is something to consider.....
    The 'saddle' strap (the piece riveted to the diamond plate that accepts the 'spade' or 'tongue' from the bass drum rail consolette) could be removed from the chrome diamond plate and re-attached to our Universal Plate. The metal diamond part is not really needed. This may be more than you want to get into but it may be a possibility."
    Not wanting to remove the saddle straps on my original diamond plates, after I explored the cost of obtaining diamond plates to cannibalize for their saddle straps, I dropped the idea. Maybe a re-think to your method would be in order. Thanks again, m8!
