This is the full band set up. The only change would be E or A kit.
For the past 6 months or the duration of time that the new project has been festering, I had been debating between E or A drum sets.
The new band goes all in ear with no stage equipment other than the PA and their guitar effects pedals. So I thought E drums might keep the concept.
However, after 3 months of working with an E kit I decided to switch up for the A kit.
How can you not love this?

god that kit is sooooooo gorgeous!!!!!!
Unless I dropped 10k on an E kit I couldn't play one. It would have to be THE TOP OF THE LINE and be one of those full kit E kits.
Awesome kit!
Bish, with what your doing on stage could you maybe use less of a drum kit ( toms ) and use a EAD10?
I bought and played a top-of-the-line Ekit at the peak of their popularity............'88 thru '98.
I just can't go back there.

Seriously beautiful set of Yamaha's there Bish. I have yet to see an E kit that made me drool like those Yammies do!

Good call. I am not a fan of ekits for anything other than practicing and even then they're the last choice. Never live on stage.
I would play on a chair with 2 spoons before I would play an e-kit.

It was a hybrid kit:
The acoustic snare and cymbals were heard thru good microphones.
The toms and basses were the top-shelf Yammy triggers available at that time.
We had a monster PA -- the basses ran thru a dedicated Peavy 800, crossovers were set at 200 -- the toms thru a mono 300.
Power ? I could knock you down.........if I needed dynamics, I used the snare.
Fun while it lasted...........
