Nice set-up, Roger! Does that mean that you're getting rid of your 8" tom, or are you keeping it for times when you might use a 5 piece set-up? Just curious how you're thinking of it.
My New Set-Up!
I've decided to go along with the trend and change my set-up to a four piece. Immediately I found out that this meant I could place most of cymbals where they had been for some almost unknown reasons. I've changed my ride position to make it where my 12" tom used to be and I put my 16" crash closer to me because I took away the 8" tom.
The Cymbals: Left to Right; 15" Crash, 16" Crash, 10" Splash, 20" Ride. All ZHT. 15" and 10" are normal, the others are 'Rock' cymbals. Almost forgot: 14" Rock ZHT Hi-Hats.
The Drums: 12"x9" (Rack Tom), 16"x14" (Floor Tom), 22"x18" (Bass Drum), 14"x5" (Snare Drum).
I'm also thinking of buying a new snare drum, and maybe using my 14" Floor tom as well because I feel a little...naked shall we say without a 5pc.

Like the Bonham setup, nice. Personally, I like having my range of drums all laid out infront of me so that I can turn and play it all without contorting lol.

I like it... And i think another floor tom would be better.
But i would prefer all my drums set up :> I can understand you not likeing some of your drums maybe you dont have their sounds right yet (Sounds can take years to get) But i like the options. And using them.

what kind of kit do you have?
I just put mine back to a four piece as well, it just feels so good, my cymbals set-up so much nicer, and it is just funner to play, here is my latest pic of my current set-up.
i like how your drum set is so tight, it looks good man
If you are referring to mine, thank you.Originally Posted by Lafirin
yep i was, and no prob
Well then for sure thank you lol
personaly i dig the five peace set ups better, with mine i feel more like the kits is part of me with the five peace and like im just playing it on a four. but thats just what i like.
play till the day i die. it makes more sense that way.

Cool man
hey pdplayer have you ever had a problem with the 10 inch tom on the pdps? mine was ringing for the longest time untill i finaly just had to swap the heads. any sugjestions if that stops working?

No man sorry I haven't had that issue, I would start by checking the bearing edges, also check for roundness, also check and make sure on your tuning, that every lug is tune matched, if those are ok, then maybe the tom, just wants a different style of head, sorry I couldn't be more help.
oh no its cool you were actualy more help than i expected. ive heard about it happening with the f.a.s.t. tom sizes and thats what i have so it could be a design flaw but i should probably replace both heads before i go as far as replaceing them.

Also I've found a snare drum that I think I might like, for most of the time I've been a drummer I've liked metal snare, deep snares and I've always loved black hardware. I've tried the Joey Jordison Snare drum at my local drum store and I've decided to buy that when i can get the money together.
EDIT: And I've always liked 12" and 13" snares more than 14" ones, just thought I'd add that. My dream Snare: 12x8 Metal Snare Drum.
