Title: Show us your drum/perc set-up
Post by: Bart Elliott on January 01, 2008, 12:00 PM
Do you have an interesting set-up? New gear or equipment? So happy that you've just got to share it with the world? Show it here!

PLEASE ONLY POST ONE or TWO PHOTOS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE. If you have more than two photos, please just post the links to your photos.

Keep it interesting. We don't need (want) to see every single angle of your drumkit. Just pick a few nice photos to share, then tell us about it.

Posts which contain more than two photos or lame photos will be reduced accordingly.


VIP MEMBERS! Upload your photos to the VIP Gallery! (http://www.drummercafe.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,2/action,gallery) If you have a unique set-up, contact Bart about having your drum or percussion rig highlighted in the FEATURED SET-UP (http://www.drummercafe.com/content/blogcategory/2/46/) section of the Drummer Cafe!

I took some pictures, but I need to resize them.  Can't be doing that type of thing at work, but I will post them soon. 

Don't delete this topic, Bart!

Actually, I'm surprised no one's posted yet...?

I'm working on two shots to post. I just haven't figured out how to edit out other band members, then upload two of my sets. Duh,  ::)

Ok, i'll take the plunge.
I don't believe I've posted a picture of my new (ish) kit.

Sizes are 10", 12", 14"ft and 18" bass. I adore the bass, I won't say it's like a cannon but, imagine taking a rocket propelled grenade to the chest...that's how I imagine it.

Sporting the Acrolite as well. 40 years old now!
And a selection of UFIP's. Loving it!
Jack

I recently had my big rotos powdercoated a medium blue...here is the latest incarnation with the ludwig bass, slingerland field snare, and the compliment of mehmet and agop cymbals at a recent gig. Enjoy, Bob

Sorry for taking so long...a person gets busy when they have a new baby.

I know my signature says I use Iron Cobra pedals, and I do.  However, I gave mine to a friend as payment for helping me with a very big project.  I'm presently between good pedals.  Anywho....Here goes:

Oh, BTW, are those huge Roto Toms derek??  I've never seen them so big!

fun little 'lolcat' version of my percussion setup.  To my left are a 10" pandiero (used as a snare) and a 16" floor tom w/ a surdo head on it.  everything's mounted on a gibraltar rack, and the tablas are mic'ed from the inside.  i often use a naal (like a tabla) made out of PVC pipe next to the high tabla... i think i couldn't find it before this gig, maybe?

Post by: Carn on February 14, 2008, 08:02 PM
not the most recent pictures, but the only thing that has changed is the tom setup. Currently its 8-10-14-16 instead of 10-12-etc. Not in the picture is a 10" side snare.

Kit is a Sonor 3003 series, still very happy with it. Altough I could use some new heads!

- Tama IC flexiglide twin pedal and an IC hihat stand.
- Zildjian: 14" A New Beats, 16" + 18" A Customs, 8" + 10" + 12" K splashes, 20" A Ping ride, 18" Oriental China Trash, Paiste 302 14" hihats as a secondary pair.

I used to have my first kit in my bedroom, it could be dangerous though - one night I fell out of bed and mangaed to scrape my forehead on one of the tom legs.  Oops!


Title: Re: Show us your drum/perc set-up
Post by: New York Frank on March 05, 2008, 11:38 AM
Not by choice, but ... my kit is in my/our bedroom.

It has made for some late night laughs.  I can no longer walk Around the bed
to leave the bedroom.  [say, after waking up and determining I have to empty
my tank.  :)  ]   So, I actually have to walk on/across the bed.
Late at night, while sleepy, I have had trouble keeping my balance while doing this,
and it looked like I was surfing.   My wife was entertained.   :)


Title: Re: Show us your drum/perc set-up
Post by: Bob on March 12, 2008, 02:18 PM
I had to make the footprint on my kit as small as I could so it would fit in a small spot in the living room. I hope the wife will understand. She should be happy, it's out of our bedroom.

Well, I finally have some decent quality pics, so for what it's worth:

(http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/3690/bateria001bp3.th.jpg) (http://img170.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bateria001bp3.jpg)
My Sonor Force 2007, blue fade.

Drum sizes: 14x5.5, 10x8, 12x9, 16x16 and 22x17.5.

Cymbals:
  Zildjian ZBT: 16" Crash, 14" Hi Hats, 20" Ride (RETIRED! ;D) and 18" China

  Sabian Pro: 10" Splash and 16" Crash

  Sabian AA Metal-X 18" Crash

 Paiste Rude Crash/Ride 19" (not shown)

Yamaha DFP9310 pedals, Rhythm Tech tambourine.

All heads stock (for now) except snare top, where I alternate between a Hydraulic and the Mr. A recommended Hi-Energy.

(http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3185/bateria004lj5.th.jpg) (http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bateria004lj5.jpg)
I am constantly changing the way things are set up. For instance the 16" crash to the right was made parallel to the floor right after the shoot. Right now I'm going with the inverted toms (as I discussed in a thread) and I'm attempting to have the hi hat at 11 o' clock as in Bart's video.
I have way more stuff than I should at my level but I have fun with everything.

EDIT: Switched the ZBT Ride for a Paiste Rude Crash/Ride with a great sound! (for me)

The only thing holding me up is Dell. As soon as my laptop arrives I'll be recording a bunch of new songs and  putting them up on my my space page. Right now I just have a few songs that were recorded using my DTXTREME ll kit.  The difference between the DTX ll & lll is night and day.I'll post a link when I get them up.

I am absolutely in love with this snare.  I just picked it up for a great price.  It's a custom made 14 x 7 snare drum using a Global Drum Co. segmented shell of Tiger Maple and Purple Heart Wood.  Brass Hoops and Lugs. This snare definitely looks as good as it sounds.  I am a proud Pa Pa
