Very nice setup! I like where your cymbals are positioned, and another fan of splash cymbals, very cool! Are you using a drum rack for this setup?
I ask this question, because for me it's educational. Being new to drumming, my experience with others setups is very limited, but it helps me understand others interests and preferences, thanks a bunch, and if you want to throw a pic in with your response, please do!

I don't know what type of Zildjian this crash is. There are no marks apart from a little brand stamp in the metal. I think it may be half of a hi-hat, but I like the way it sounds as a crash.
There are some great cymbal setups on this thread!

Thank you very much. Yes, I am using a Pearl Icon straight rack on this kit (Pearl Session Custom). It's a pretty large set up, and for someone who gigs a lot, it's a pain to drag around. I normally gig with my DWs, and I just use stands for the cymbal set up.
What I like about racks is everything for the most part is off the floor, it leaves a smaller footprint overall, and it's very sturdy. I've had this rack for almost 7 years now and it has never failed. There are different rack makers: Pearl, Gibraltar, PDP, DW, Yamaha, etc. What I like about the Pearl racks is the square tubing, nothing moves. Unlike the round tubing that most others use, I've seen battle wounds on bass drums from the clamp slipping and falling onto the kick shell...not cool. But I know lots of people that have never had a problem with round tubed racks...to each his/her own on this matter. It's all about preference.
What I like about stands is the adjustability, and it gives you the option of how big you want your set up to be at any given time. Also, I can fit all my hardware into one SKB HW case, which makes it easier to transport everything around...and saves room in my truck.
These are just my opinions of course, others may feel differently.
You wanted pics:
Check out this link for tons of pics of the Pearls up on the rack so you can get a better idea of how I have them set up.
http://www.drumchat.com/showthread.p...6.html?t=13896
And here are some pics are of the DWs in different set ups...one from a couple studio sessions and one gig/stage shot. If you look you will see that in each of these the cymbal configuration differs. One has splash cymbals, one does not, one only has 1 up, 2 down with 2 crashes only and no splashes. This what I like about stands...a lot easier to take away or add something without having to adjust the entire rack.
I hope this helps.
BTW, in the first studio pic, I was using my 22" KCD ride...LOVED it, but had to let it go last year.

RDH03,
Nice pics. There's drum racks on ebay I've been thinking about purchasing. They look alot like the rack you use. They are square channel also. I've been alittle reluctant in purchasing because I have'nt had time to look into them alittle more. They don't even state what brand they are, but they look nice in the pics. For $269 it's not a bad price and they come with two cymbal holders, and a bunch of clamps. I need a rackbad, just to clean up the kit because of my limited space. I think I'll start a thread on these racks to see if anyone here has bought one.
I took a closer look at that rack and it is a round bar style rack, but I can figure my way around that.
