That's a snappy lookin' rig... what are the sizes on that setup?
Sonor 4 piece
I set my Sonor kit up as a 4 piece. I have to admit I am having a blast playing it. I took a set of Kasza 13" R series hi-hats and an R series 20" medium thin ride home from The Drum Shop today to demo them to see if I want to buy them. The two A Custom Crashes I borrowed from my other kit. I'll eventually be getting two new crashes so I don't have to switch back and forth. I'll probably go with Kasza there as well. Very good sounding cymbals at a great price.
It's nice having both kits side by side. Right now I'm favoring the smaller kit.

Re: Sonor 4 piece
That bass drum looks deep. What's the size? Looking good.
Re: Sonor 4 piece
Nice kit. Polar opposite from your other set-up.
Re: Sonor 4 piece
Sweet.
Re: Sonor 4 piece
Very nice and clean looking kit.
Re: Sonor 4 piece
5x14 snare, 22x20 kick, 12x8 tom, 14x12 Fl. tom. I also have a 16x14 Fl tom that I'm not using. I've been tempted to add it but I want this kit to stay small. I may start playing out again and if I do this is the kit I'll be using so I want to get comfortable with it the way it is now. I may add an 8" splash and a cowbell but that's it.

Re: Sonor 4 piece
A couple years ago, I found myself playing an old Sonor bop kit for a while and then with an added floor tom (sort of Bonham-on-a-bop kit), after playing a 7-9 piece. It was alot of fun and more of a challenge than I had thought it was, learning to phrase without a mess of toms in front of me.
It's very healthy to re-configure once in a while to stretch your brain as well as your body, IMO.
BTW, that's a really nice kit and config. No wonder your having fun! Gotta love Sonor kick drums!

A bunch of cymbals

I think I love to play the drums simply because you get to hit 'em!!!
Re: Sonor 4 piece
Very nice. I recently became the owner of the bop kit, very different from my experience with a 2 up 2 down configuration, and before that a 3 up 2 down. The phrasing on a 1 up 1 down kit does take translation, but the feel is much more intimate and can be really fun.

Re: Sonor 4 piece
Looks very nice. Seems like you could fit that kit almost anywhere too. There's something about a 4 piece that screams playability to me.

Re: Sonor 4 piece
Playing the 4 piece I find myself doing a lot more work on the snare then I do on my big kit. I'll take a fill that I would do across 4 or 5 toms on my big kit and do it right on the snare only on the 4 piece, tossing in accents/flamms at different points. It's definitely a different style of playing.
