    I've been meaning to ask, how much lighter is the 6000 series hardware than the 9000 series, really?
    Significantly lighter, much thinner. Still sturdy, built much better than any other flush base hardware. However, it won't be as sturdy as 9000 hardware. It is still DW quality; I couldn't be happier. I may grab another set of pedals - probably Speed Cobras - and keep the 6000 pedals as backups after this summer. I'll try and do a review sometime.

    Nice setup Rick. What's that little splash looking thing in the middle of your kit? And what's that big box to the left?

    Beautiful color, Rick. Merlot?

    How do you like your wooden hooped snare? The last snare I heard with wooden hoops was very dead and flat. I didn't like it, personally.

    I think you are referring to the RhythmTech Ribbon Crasher
    The bird house looking thingy is my slit/tongue drum(a remnant of my King Crimson phase... lol)

    Yes... Merlot it is! I was very pleased to find a snare and floor tom to almost perfectly match the kit. The wooden hoops definitely changed the sound. It increased the projection and gave me a deeper/warmer tone. The rimshots and clicks are fantastic with next to no "twang". Perhaps not suitable for all situations but well worth the investment.

    Cool. Maybe it was the way the drummer had it tuned. Thanks for the reply. Kit is stunning by the way. Nice choices!!

    Thanks. We shot four videos in Macedonia back in 2006. Two in the studio/stage and two in the mountains near Skopje(beautiful). It was with a band called "Eye Of Charm". They had sort of a Smashing Pumpkins sound. I recorded a demo album for them as a favor to a friend (I was hardly a rock drummer at the time) and just kinda ended up joining the band. It was a great experience. We were "Rockstars" in Europe but nobody knew us here, aside from a few months of videos on Much Music.

    Cymbals:

    1x 18" MEINL Classics Custom Extreme Metal China
    1x 16" MEINL Classics Custom Extreme Metal Crash
    1x 10" MEINL Classics Custom Extreme Metal Splash
    1x 14” MEINL Classics Custom Extreme Metal Hihat
    1x 18” MEINL Classics Custom Extreme Metal Crash
    1x 20” MEINL Classics Custom Extreme Metal Ride

    3 of these come in a pack for 500 (Ride, hihat, 18inch crash), so hopefully i can get my hands on that and then i only have to buy the splash, 18inch china and the 16inch crash...the pack sometimes does come with a free 16inch china i believe...so wouldn't have to buy the 18inch china...would is recommended or the difference is too small for a beginner?

    Drum heads:

    Evans EC2s clear for the tom batter..

    I was also wondering what you could recommend i should get for the bass batter, bass reso, snare batter and the tom reso instead of the stock heads/resos.

    Will post pics when i get all this! can't wait.
    Congrats! and welcome Donavan! I'd go Evans G1 clear for your reso heads on toms and EMAD 2 for bass drum batter and keep the Tama stock reso since you'd be fly'n the Tama logo...

    That's a cool stage setup, Rick. Doesn't give the other members much chance to come over and hang out during the gig though. One false step and they are gone. hehe

    Logos, scmollgos. Unless they pay me, I don't advertise brands. I don't advertise for free. My Slingerland original 1965 reso is to tell those who know a bit what it is. Sometimes they will come up during a break to talk about them, I'm thrilled to meet Slingerland fans with knowledge of the history, and more importantly, what they did to design more musical potential into each drum. Original owner who has played most other top brands but haven't found a better sounding drum. Just sayin'.

    Re-setup my Gretsch Catalina Birch kit today. Took off a 13" rack tom and one of the kick drums. Also took off a few cymbals, and experimented with placement of others. I stacked a 10" Wuhan splash on a 12" holy splash by the hi hats for a new effect.

    I have changed the reso head of my kick a few times. it came with a black Gretsch front, then I changed it to a plain black Aquarian I forget the exact series. but it did make a difference in the sound for the better. After being damaged along the years of gigging I recently replaced it with a Gretsch logo White batter head this time. It took some experimenting but finally got it to sound just as good as an non-logo head. I think it's more the fact of showing what you have kinda thing.
    Love my Gretsch sound!

    You definitely can't go wrong. All good recommendations. I've never been one that just changes drum heads just because I bought a new kit. I like to see what comes stock and go from there. I've never been disappointed with higher end kits' stock heads. They are usually supplied with what you'd go purchase for a lower end kit, in my experience. Plus, if you don't try out the stock heads you don't have any basis for comparison.

    Plus, you will probably shell out an additional $200 USD for an extra set of heads you may find you didn't need.

    Any thoughts on that?

    That's a little bit high on the Zildjian A custom pack. I won't put out any urls but a simple quick search you can find the pack for under 750.00
