Full Collapse

Tama Starclassic Performer EFX in white satin.  I love birch and they didn't have any good laquers in regular Performer.
(depthxdiameter)
18x22
9x12
8x10 (took off, sits in the corner of my basement)
11x14
5.5x14

Zildjian Cymbals:
14" A Custom Mastersound Hi Hats
18" Z Custom Medium crash
19" Z Custom Rock Crash
21" A Sweet Ride
*note these ARE the exact cymbals Cyrus Bolooki from NFG has but I loved the sound of the hats and the crashes and the ride.  I was going to get a 19" A Custom Crash instead but the Z Custom was less expensive and made for being brutally beating...just being cautious.  Its kind of a coincidence we have the same cymbals though...I didn't really do it on purpose

Hardware:
DW 5000 Delta Accellerator
DW 9300 Snare Stand
DW 9900 tom/boom combo stand
Pacific Boom stand (soon to be replaced)
Pacific straight stand (soon to be replaced)
Tama (not sure which kind) Hi Hat Stand (soon to be replaced)

Sticks: Vater Universals

Heads:  Evans

Acessories: 6" HolZ, Danmar Stick holder, Aquarian kick pad

*I will be getting a 6.5x14 20 Ply vented snare from Conaway very soon.

Pictures do not include all new cymbals just one of the crashes and hi hats.  The other two are my uncle's vintage Zildjians (16" Medium Thin Crash, 20" Rock Ride)

Excellent discussions at this forum! I've been to other's but this one takes the cake! Obvious "sound" advice throughout and  good discussion in-between. Can't "beat" that...

My main kit is a Turmoil Green Tama Rockstar Custom w/ Chrome Hardware posted just below:



To give a better idea of the set in overhead view, I've taken the liberty to recreate in it Photoshop 6.0.

B: 6.5" x 14" Hand-Hammered Steel Snare

7: 18" Oriental Trash Crash
8: 22" Ping Ride

After saving what I could, I ended up using my hard-earned money to purchase a pre-owned Tama Rockstar in Gloss Black as my practice set. It was in exceptional shape! Truth be told, without cymbals (They came later), I lucked into this set for a total of $775 WITH hardware! A guy in the Coast Guard was being sent to Greenland of all places! He had to let it go...

Despite the multiple drum-head changes to both sets however, these sets do not do justice to other higher-end sets, like Tama's Starclassic or better yet, the DW's, Orange County, or Ayotte's of the world. It's a good set mind-you, and the resonance that I like is reasonable, but the actual sounds emitted from the Mahagony-Basswood combo, even with proper tuning using my Drum-Dial, are much too high-pitched for my taste compared to the birch or maple sets...but I put up with what I could afford. One day I'll be able to afford something a bit higher in quality, but I'm very lucky for what I have, I shouldn't complain, all things considered.

Here is my current practice setup:



My practice kit is a 2000 Tama Rockstar in Gloss Black
 
A: 6.5" x 14" Rockstar Custom Steel Snare (Not too bad!)
B:  8" x 8" Mounted Tom
C: 10" x 12" Mounted Tom
D: 16" x 22" Bassdrum  
E: 11" x 13" Mounted Tom
F: 14" x 14" Mounted Tom

Cymbals from left to right are all Zildjian...

1: 22" Ping Ride
2: 18" A Custom Crash
3: 6" and 8" Saluda Splash (They SUCK!)
4: 17" A Custom Crash
5: 16" A Custom Crash
6: 15" A Custom Projection Crash
7: 14" A MasterSound Hi-Hats (HIGHLY RECOMMEND!)

Pedals: Pearl P-2002C PowerShifter Eliminator Double Pedal.

Hardware includes Tama RoadPro Cymbal Stands and a Gibraltar 9707ML Hi-Hat Stand. I have no reservations regarding playing out with these...Very sturdy and also recommend them as well. And yes, those are drum shoes...as always, your comments are welcome.
