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!

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

[metalshredder]

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!

[Dave Sharma]

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?

[Carn]

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.

[Neaty]

Here is one of mine, not the best of angles but its the best I can do with it being in my bedroom:



Pearl Forum in Red Wine
Zildjian Cymbals - 14 inch ZHT Rock Hi Hats, 16 inch ZHT Rock Crash, 20 inch ZHT Rock Ride and 10 inch ZHT Splash.
Remo Pinstripe tom heads and Remo Ambassador Snare head.

hope you like

[Anthony Manning-Franklin]

This is my new setup I'm experimenting with, I'm not sure what sort of a reaction I'll get when I bring it in to rehearsal on Saturday...

[Bob]

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.

[Bleeder]

...before last night's gig...

[Hugo Gouveia]

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


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! ) 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.


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)
