My practice kit:
My old friend that came home to stay a few months ago:
My pride and joy:
My first kit was a Slingy du-co 1up, 1 down............isn't worth showing.
Gretsch USA & Zildjian(What Else Would I Ever Need ?)
My first attempt at building a 1up/1down kit. 13/16/22. This is the kit I usually gig with.
My Export kit that I assembled from orphan shells to use as a backup. 12/16/22. I actually prefer the sound spread of the 12/16/22 over the 13/16/22.
My winter project. 13/16/28 with 3ply Ludwig shells. Wish it was a 14/18/28, but oh well...
I'm also working on an 8/13/16 jungle kit made from old Taiwan shells. This drum stuff is addicting.

"Too many crappy used drum stuff to list"
Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
My M Birch at a recent gig - 12/16/22 (the other "up" is a 10" snare ).
Mapex Armory - Photon Blue
Mapex VXB kit - Transparent Black
Mapex & Pearl snares
Paiste Alpha & RUDE cymbals
Remo & Vater
Looking good guys.
My standard set up since high school. Saw Bill Bruford playing King Crimson with that set up.If he could play Lark's Tongue era stuff on 4, what more did I need? Went home, ditched stuff, and never looked back.. Only the sizes and cymbals tend to vary....Gigging kit #1. '40's Radio King marble Ballroom set-
Gig kit # 2. SSB Emerald Green Pearl Gretsch-
Giging kit #3- Yamaha Manu Katche Hipgigs. Stripped, stained and refinished- Been playing a lot of jazz trio stuff, giving these a work out lately
