I wanted to ask who else is a drummer besides me & Rimshot
if you are, what set do you got?

Rimshot - how many sets you got?

I'm running 2 sets,
1: Pearl Export
>3 toms
>single base
>Sabian HHX
   >16' Dark Crash
   >21' Groove Ride
   >8' bright splash
>Zildjian Hi-Hat
   >Titanium X ?'

2: Roland TD-6S
http://www.rolandus.com/products/details.asp?catid=5&subcatid=22&prodid=TD%2D6S
>1 V-drum (snare)
>3 toms
>1 crash (inputs for 2)
>1 ride
>single base
>hi-hat w/ separated pedal

I love the V-drums, they are the top of the line, more rebound than rubber, but i only could afford just the snare at the moment.

I got a Tama Superstar back in the early 90's. It was my kit for many years when I played in my original band. Played places like The Limelight in Manhattan, Sundance, etc.... Made a CD that Metal blade Records paid for entitled, "Best Un-signed Band in America"!

2 24" bass drums
14 snare
8" Tom
10" Tom
12" Tom
13" Tom
14" Tom
15" Tom
16" Floor Tom
18" Floor Tom
14" Zildjian High Hat
16" Paiste 3000 Crash
18" Paiste 3000 Crash
21' Paiste Ride
20" China Type.

After the original band went no place, got into a cover band. This was fun. Played every single Friday & Saturday at some of the biggest clubs here on the Island and in Manhattan! Playing this stuff was a no brainier compared to my original progressive rock band! Drank for free all night, met allot of girls and just had a ton of fun. I also got paid!!
I downsized my kit to:
Single 24" bass,
dual bass pedal.
4" snare
13" tom
14" tom
16" floor tom.
Same cymbals!

I miss that time in my life!

I bought the original 5 piece with no cymbal for around $1,800, I think. After that I just saved every penny I could and bought the rest piece by piece!

OMG! Fly, you got the complete ensemble! I don't think i'd ever get that many drums onto one set. hence why i bought the electronic.

Rimshot, ever tired Vic Firth 5AN's. they're lighter and better than any 5A's I've seen. (have to say, better than zildjian's sticks)

I saw those in Guitar Center. The guy there said for my style of playing, I should go with Vic Firths "American Classic" Metal N. I just took the name off the stick, as I don't remember what I bought. Tongue

Those two pairs are specialty sticks I bought just to try out, and I've liked them so far. I bought them at clinics hosted by Kenny Arnoff and Travis Barker, so I felt obliged to get a pair. And I like them.

I generally use 5As that are like, five bucks. Roll Eyes

I got a big ol' bag of 20 pairs for 30 bucks which was cool.

And Dave, is that a mullet I spy?! Shocked

not too bad.. 20 for $30.

ever heard of Drum Pad, in Palatine, IL?

they got's a whole wall the length of the store dedicated to sticks, and a whole other building dedicated to drumsets. tops anything guitar center has. although i bought i electronic for less than what drumpad was selling it for.
