That can be easier said than done though as a lot of drummers don't actually know what they want until they have had a few kits. I went through 4 kits before I realized the sound that I was really...

Thank you!

Yep, Performance series in white marine pearl. 24x18 kick, 13x10 rack tom, 16x14 and 18x16 floor toms. This thing is a beast! I've looked at a few DW snares, but I can't seem to move...

Absolutely gorgeous kit late8!!!


As of today, I have joined the DW family myself!

Bird's eye of my brand spanking new custom DW's:

Sooo....I've been on this forum for quite a while now, and have always proclaimed myself as a "Pearl snob". Well, not any longer. I just received my first DW custom kit and I am in absolute love!

Been using Vater Slick Nuts for a while now. Cymbal on and off in 1 second flat.

Strangest, and yet, one of the most fun gigs I've ever played was this morning. We played the Rock & Roll 1/2 marathon and 10K as the beginning/ending band (there is a stage set every mile). Our...

I tried swapping BD heads for the 3 bands I'm in, but that really got to be a hassle. I ended up buying 3 kits, 1 for each band. I use a different setup for each one (why would I bring a 7 piece...

They used to sell gel sticky "hands" in the 25 cent vending machines at one of my local grocery stores. 3 toms and a snare for a buck!

I built some of these a few years ago out of ABS pipe that I covered with contact paper.. I did 2 octaves that were set up just like a piano keyboard that I built a wood frame for. I did the bottom a...

I just picked this bad boy up a few weeks ago:

I haven't written everything down, but every once in a while, I'll take pictures of everything and put them on a flash drive for insurance purposes.

I've been on here a long freakin' time! I like to disappear for extended periods of time though.

This is my favorite. The poster behind me was perfect!:punk:

The grass is always greener where YOU water it!

I had an offer to play in Nashville not too long ago. I tell you what, I have never weighed the pros and cons of playing so heavily in my life. I ended up turning it down though. I'm currently...

I mix Paiste Signatures with Alphas. They go together quite nicely. Right now I'm using Alpha medium hats, 16" crash, 14" china, and 10" splash with Signature 20" dry ride, 16" power crash, and 12"...

I have 2 Pearl ELX kits that I gig with, a 4 piece and a 7 piece, each for different bands. Sometimes if I'm feeling a little nostalgic, I'll bust out my 72' Pearls...

I always show up to a gig earlier than everyone else so I can start getting set up before they get there. Tripping over stage clutter while trying to set up drives me insane! Once I'm completely set,...

The info that late8 gave you is excellent!

Craigslist / Ebay can definitely be your friend on this. I run a CAD mic set (2 overhead condensers, 1 snare, 1 bass), a Presonus FP10 firewire...

I'm looking for a Paiste 22" Signature flat ride. Anyone out there got one they want to part with?

Update: I haven't been on here in quite a while as I have been mega-busy immersing myself in the local music scene. I'm currently playing in fadedblue still. We are back working on our 2nd album...

I've only got 3 kits:

7 piece Pearl ELX in Black Burst
5 piece Pearl ELX in Cobalt Fade
5 piece 72' Pearl Deluxe custom in Blue Sparkle

I would probly have more, but I'm out of storage space!...

I sweat a lot during setup and teardown. I don't sweat too much during a gig though as I have an 18 volt cordless fan sitting next to my hihats blowing up at me. Just need to use a towel every once...

I have never done a "pay-to-play" gig with other bands and personally have no desire to. The closest we have come to doing that is renting a music hall for our CD release party and selling tickets to...
