Love seeing that kit. I'm hanging on to my Pacific CX kit for life. Some of the best and most overlooked drums ever made. Period.

Most recently I had the two 8" toms over the hi-hat but I don't really like them there. So this afternoon I tore it all down and came up with this.

Always loved the look of your setups. Tom placement looks very comfortable.
I like it a lot. Two 8s
I'd love to take it for a spin.
Nice set up. Everything looks very comfortable to reach.
Nice. It looks very ergonomic!

You know I have never had or hit a cymbal with the holes in it..heard it once and it sounded really different..like a light gong sound. what is your opinon?
Enjoy the Music!

For the 40+ years I've been playing I've never had my toms out of order size wise. They have always gone small to large. Having that second 8" tom between the 12" and 14" is quite interesting. I'm also really liking my ride up a bit higher where it is now. Still looking to add a 24" kick and my main kick and move the 22" to the left.Had to have a new roof put on the house and that kind of ate up more funds than planned. Maybe for my birthday this January.
It looks like fun kit to play. I am a four-piece kit guy myself. Peace and goodwill.

Well for the limited time I've been playing with this new set up I have to say I don't like the second 8" tom where it is. It was new and interesting at first but It just doesn't fit my playing style so it's getting moved.
I think it would be hard to get used to my toms being out of order
Yeah I was trying out a Marco Minnemann thing. Not my cup of tea.

I like the bongos. Nice touch.
Also looks like the 18" needs some stick action.
I also agree the CX series was way underrated. Every bit as good as a Yamaha Stage Custom.

Do those china's blow away your overhead mix?!
Could be the photo angle but they look super close
No they are good , not as close as they look. The mic's I use are only for my headphones. I have one inside the kick as well as on the batter head side of the kick. Then the two over heads and a tom mic hanging in the middle. Saves on my hearing and I can Eq them to give the drums some nice warmth and low end.
Boom! Put my other two china's up top.
