Weird drum/cymbal setup!
Nice kit though xD

[aunkster]

It is a weird set up but very comfortable

[Riouel]

do you have reverse the big tom and the small tom ?????

[Ringo]

i wish i had a superstar..........but nice kit, how exactly to you play on it?

[aunkster]

Im confused..but I play with sticks

[Ringo]

no as in
when your going down the toms as in smallest to largest. do you hit it from like middle, small, and then the floor tom?

[pastor_bob]

Aunster, I think what Rioul, and Ringo are both noticing is that pictures look like the ride toms might be mounted backwards. Usually the smallest tom is on the left, so that the toms are ascending in size going left to right, and on the the floor tom (for a right handed drummer). That way, when you do a drum roll, the sound goes from highest tone to the lowest tone through the toms. The pictue makes it appear that you ride toms are mounted opposite to normal.

Yeah, bigger of the two ride toms on the right, nearest the floor tom. You've got it right. It just appeared different in the pic. That's what people were commenting about.

[funkymcstain]

welcom to the forum man, i like the kit.

even if the toms were mixed up there wouldnt be any problem with it. i know of alot of people that dont go small to big. simply so they dont get locked into the typical hi to low style fills. its actually become quite a trend in the last few years to mix up the configuration a little bit. check out marco minneman(sp) and mike manginis kits. or jimmy chamberlain.

[32ndHeartBeat]

Andrea Vadrucci sets his toms up that way, so do a good number of professional players. It's just a different preference I guess.

[aunkster]

I m new i just set mine up like the Tama instructional DVD told me to..lol

[Ringo]

good ol' tama. never seen em make a bad drum yet.

you should put some evans g2's on there and maybe a power dot for your snare.

[george007]
