    Sticky: Re: Show Us Your Drums!

    Just the results of 30 years of collecting. I must admit that I’m starting to reach a critical mass. I need to self impose a one-in one-out policy, and eventually shrink the whole thing down.

    It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I wanted to share this one with the group.

    I’m having some folks over for a jam tonight. And set up most of the toys.

    I thought it was pretty good, but may be a little long-winded. They probably could’ve knocked about 20 minutes off of it.

    That’s a nice looking kit. I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the copper hardware on the Ludwig snare.

    Did you get the hardware platted, or was that something Ludwig made?

    I’ve use that microphone set before, and it’s actually surprisingly good for the money. The only letdown was the bass drum mic, but that makes a pretty decent floor tom mic. I would look into an...

    Re: Drum Badges

    It’s really interesting how the aesthetics of a drum badge can really make or break how I feel about a kit. Personally, I really do not like the newer Mapex badges. Great sounding drums, but that...

    Not sure about the snare bed, but you shouldn’t have a problem transferring the snare wires over.

    Re: Kit you've had the longest?

    I bought my Tama Artstar ES kit with my own money in 94, when I was 14. I actually saved up for it by having a paper route.

    The only thing I don’t like is the power-tom sizing, but I’ve worked...

    Re: Snare & Practice Pad Stands

    There really isn’t a “best” stand out there. I’m partial to Pearl hardware, but it’s really not any better than anything else made by the major brands.

    Any stand from of the major drum companies should work well for you.

    Are you looking for a taller, concert style stand, or a lower drum set style stand?

    ^^^^ those red accents gaskets look amazing on the black finish. That must have been a Europe only option. I never saw that in the states.

    Re: Putting Holes in Cymbals?

    I only paid $80 for the cymbal, so I won’t be too upset if it doesn’t work out. Seeing how a new one sells for $280, I can’t go that wrong with it if it all works out.
