Show Us Your Drums!

I posted in the Zildjian sticky but today I have officially joined the Zildjian family after being a Sabian-only guy since 1994.

Well, you picked one hell of a cymbal to start your Zildjian Journey. Congrats

Nice kit Shawn. I'm a fan of the SCB series your set up is epic!

[Kazaamski]

Oh man I am mad envious. I totally want one of these to go with my dry light ride.

[MrB]

Gracias! I found an hour or so today to take it for an initial test run with the rest of the kit. Some photos, but of course:

[Deedubs!]

[MrB]

[MrB]

Thank you, sir! I was reading about your new DW closed hats not long ago.

I used to have this ride! I was nowhere near being in the budget for having multiple rides, so I sold it and my A Custom Ping Ride to get something more versatile, A K Custom Hybrid ride, and eventually what I have now, the Sand Ride. I'd love to find my way back to the dry ride some time next year. Check out my funky old setup...





Double rides... I didn't stick with this setup for too long.

Back when I used to take lessons my teacher had two rides on the kit- an A Rock and a K... I forget what, exactly. What shortcomings did you find with the dry? I noticed it was not as loud as the others, but it actually encourages me to watch the overall dynamics. Volume has never really been difficult for me to achieve.

Thanks.

I keep changing things around though.I think I finally found how I want my kit set up to where it is more comfortable to play.Takes a little more but it doesn't look like it's all bunched up,room to breath now. (and add more toys)

Hello just thought i would post up my new to me set. I am just getting started in drumming and had no intention of buying one yet but i found this deal on craigslist for 500! I spent a bunch of time cleaning it and i just had set it up lol. I am sure something is wrong but i dont htink i did to bad for my first time! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! My snare stand broke so it is not pictured i think i over tightend the hold down.

[Doubleb21]

I am going to try this again lol. This is my new to me set. I just started taking lessons and was going to hold off buying a set for a bit. I found this deal on CL. It is the set i was looking at buying in the store lol. For 500 i could not pass it up! Snare stand is busted so i will deal with that today! I could always use some advice if you see anything wrong as this was my first time setting a kit up!

That's a great kit Brian. I'm assuming it's the maple version, and if so, it's the same kit I have - ok, mine's the Deep Amber finish.

I would suggest changing the position of the ride toms to get them a little closer together, and angled the same way. Something like this:



I've since gotten a rack, and you can really see how uniform I keep them:

Just got them yesterday!

It is the maple kit. That pic was before I had moved them in. Your pic is a huge help and I just need to play them to get a feel I imagine.

Nice set up zabba enjoy them.

[pastor_bob]

Beauties zabba! I wonder how close the new finish is to my finish?

[MrB]

Well, tonight was the first time I was able to test the new acquisition with other players.




While it has excellent ping, quick decay, and almost no wash, this is a case of too much of a good thing. I'm going to return it Sunday and hopefully exchange it for perhaps an A Rock, Ping, or perhaps Sweet.

When I went shopping I had in mind a 20" K Heavy (a la Chad Gracey) or an A Rock or Sweet (two rides I liked that I had taken lessons on). I would be asking this ride to do something that it simply was not designed for and for that, mea culpa.

Pretty much the same Pastor Bob. Picture doesn't represent the colour well,
fluorescent lighting n all...

Cool! I might still be able to add an 8" tom then.
