Show Us Your Drums!

[pastor_bob]

they're taken in my basement (aka the dungeon),

You mean "man cave" don't you bennice?

Nice set up. I understand your wanting to upgrade the cymbals, but you do have a very nice kit there.

[bennice]

Yeah, it is kind of a man cave. Next to the drums there are some guitars and amps, and on the other side of that a rack cabinet full of computer and network gear. So it's kind of a man geek cave if nothing else.

Thanks for the compliments. I am happy overall with the kit, and the shells are definitely better than the Exports that I had before my drumming sabbatical began in '99. I'm trying to keep the cymbal thing in perspective since I've only been playing again for a few months now. It took me many years to build up my collection before, and what I have now is definitely better than what I started with way back in the early 80's. But still, having experienced nice cymbals makes it tough to settle for these B8s now.

SGD - wow! xD

Don't think I added the recent Dubb studio pics...

Not great pics, as they're taken in my basement (aka the dungeon), and I was too lazy to get the regular camera. iPhones just do not take good pics.

This is my PDP CX series kit. It's not even close to being completed yet, but it will do nicely for now. I'd like to pick up a 16" floor tom, a better snare drum, replace the ride, hats and 14" crash, add a 16" El Sabor crash/ride and 20-22" Wuhan china and 8" splash.

Nice kit, man! Is that an AAXplosion I see? Hard to tell because of the blur but it looks like it has a raw bell....

Nice!

[drumhedd]

Added a few cymbals...

[RHD03]

Very nice DH! That drum/cymbal ratio is insane!

[areFish]

Added a few cymbals...

Calling this kit a 4 pc. doesn't seem fair.

[SomeGuyDude]

GORGEOUS. I like the little stack.

[drumhedd]

Thanks RHD..

It's a total GAS to play!!!

hahahaa!

[bennice]

My kit, this has changed loads (setup etc) recently.

Gretsch Catalina Club Mod, red sparkle black stripe. 4 Piece . . blah . . blah, hit me up for full specs. Love this kit SO much! Definately the best I've EVER owned! (bare in mind I'm only 16) Tehehe. Anyway, check it. . . Please comment, suggestions etc.




(PS, where do you think I could put a SPLASH cymbal on this configuration?

Now that's a cool looking set! Love the stripes!

[bennice]

Yes it is. Sorry for all the blur.
Thanks!

RDH - I'll be those sound amazing in the studio. Love your mic setup.

Thanks man, but all the mics are property of the studio we are at. And as for sound, you are right! I can't wait to hear the final product!

[yohin]

Added a few cymbals...

Wow! I love the look of small kits with tons of cymbals. That's officially one of my favorite setups on the board now.

[shabutie2113]

drum head looks like you have to many cymbals send me a splash lol man that kit is beautiful every one on here have gourgeous kits

[pastor_bob]

Don't think I added the recent Dubb studio pics...

Great pics RHD! Was the experience everything you hoped it would be?

[xsabers]

SGD - Nice tour. Does your floor tom sound that good in person?

I agree on the Rock Hearos. I just need to pick up spares because I know I'm gonna lose one of those blue inserts.

As a side note, you should consider a career in broadcasting. I could totally hear your voice on the evening news.

I don't know why, but you remind me of this guy...

Anyway, beautiful drums!

[Russ]

Dang, I like everything on this page. SGD, if you cut your racktom holder you can get it in more positions. If you ever decided to later I mean.

[drumhedd]

haha! Yeah.. I was bored yesterday and thought ..why not? Thanks

Thanks man.. You can never have enough splashes!

Better in person, I'd say. I need to re-tune the rack toms a bit, but that floor tom is just gorgeous. Those Onyx heads thrive at lower pitches, and what I'd done was tune the floor/high tom and octave apart with the mid tom at I -believe- a major fifth, which sounds kinda cool but doesn't work so well for most playing.

And thanks! I'd love to do broadcasting of SOME kind. My degrees are in English and Political Science, so I've definitely considered it.

You're 100% right there, Russ. Although what I'm PROBABLY going to do is pick up a pair of single tom holders, that way I can move the pair of them completely independently of one another.

[SomeGuyDude]

Another thought! I really think we should have a "best of DC" contest. I'll start it if no one has any objections. Basically users can nominate kits and we'll have a few rounds of voting. All in good fun, nothing serious.

Split it up into categories: best small kit, most elaborate, best e-kit, best kit on a budget (submissions have to explain cost), etc.
