    Default My PDP LXE kit

    Hey folks I have posted a couple pictures before on the 'Show us...' thread, but I just got a chance to take a few better shots of my kit. I have finally finished adjusting and tweaking the placement of everything on the rack, I think.
    I used to have a mid-90's Premier kit, not sure of the model. This PDP kit is SO much nicer sounding there's no comparison. Plus it looks pretty, too!

    Anyway, here's what I have, (diameter x depth)
    10X8 tom
    12X9 tom
    14X12 floor tom
    22X18 Kick
    Legend 12X7 floating-shell snare
    6" Toca timbalito
    Zildjian A Custom:
    8" splash
    10" splash
    14" hi hats
    16" crash
    17" Projection crash
    18" crash
    20" Ping ride
    PDP rack
    DW 5002AD double pedals
    DW 5500 2-leg hihat stand
    Roland SPD-20 with KD-8 kick trigger, Yamaha pedal
    I use Evans heads - EC2's, Generra HDD, and Emad,
    and ProMark 5AN Naturals.

    I tried to take some shots from behind, but couldn't get far enough back to get it all in one shot.
    Here's the best I could do:

    Quite a nice finish there chap! I do rather like the natural finishes. What kind of wood is that?

    Beautiful Peach! As I recall, that's a Kirillian birch outer ply. I always thought that kit looked absolutely gorgeous. One question though: what sound are you triggering to the left of the hi-hat, since you already have a double bass pedal?

    Yes, the Kurillian is just an outer veneer over 100% maple shells.
    I use the trigger for electronic sounds from the Roland unit. Mostly sub-bass hits and stuff like that. We used to do a cover of The Who's 'Love, Reign O'er Me' and I used it for thunder sounds. We don't so that cover anymore, and now I'm actually using the thunder on an intro to one of our newer songs.
    Thanks for the compliments, guys. I am a true believer in PDP now!

    Great set, man, that finish is sick. Have you ever disliked the tone of your 14x12? My set has a low tom of those dimensions and I've already explained how the sound is sometimes not low enough for the downbeats I want.

    No, actually on this kit that tom has a great, deep tone to it. I kind of wondered about it when I ordered the kit, but it's a lot lower than you would think.
    I do tune all of my toms pretty low on this kit, though.

    my LX kit has the 14 x 12 and i have no problem getting it to that final low tone most of us are looking for. i also have the expansion toms with the 16" floor but don't use it much.
    great looking kit man and i agree that the PDP LX and LXE stuff is quality.

    What are the washers on top of your ride and one crash called? What's their significance?

    They are Aquarian cymbal springs; they are a must for heavy hitters/loud rock players. They help save my cymbals without a doubt (without getting into the whole breaking cymbals/technique debate) by absorbing a lot of force to the cymbals. Matter of fact, I need to rearrange them so that the one currently on my ride gets moved to my left hand crash...


    fiacovaz- Yes sir, it is a pleasure to play on this kit. It is both the best looking AND best sounding kit I have ever owned!
    Thanks again guys!

    Peach, what do you use with your Octapad? Also, what do you trigger? Sound source?

    I just use the Roland SPD-20 as a self-contained unit. It has a ton of cool sounds, but doesn't allow you to add your own samples without linking it to an external sampler. They make one called the SPD-S that acts as a sampler also, but doesn't have as many good on-board sounds. And the kick trigger is just hooked straight to the Roland.

    If you want to hear some of it, go to my band's myspace page at:
    http://myspace.com/neplusultra007
    There are 4 sample songs and links to the rest of the CD. All of the electronic/effect/percussion stuff on those songs is from the Roland pad. Basically, if you hear something that's not guitar, bass, or acoustic drums/cymbals, it is the pad.

    (and give me a little slack on the drum tracks on the songs, we tracked that CD in a weekend with no overdubs or fixes!)

    I'm blown away by your bands music, Todd, so much infact that I added Grievance to my MySpace. The lead singers voice is freakin amazing and your kit sounds grand. Good work, bro.

    Thanks guys!
    Yeah, this band is all about putting the vocals right out front & letting them shine! Our lead singer Johanna is just unbelievable.
    BTW, personnel changes: one of the backup singers & one of the guitarists have changed since we recorded that CD over a year ago. Our new stuff is quite a bit heavier too, but has even more space for the vocals. I'll let you guys know when we record our new stuff...
