[shower another shower]

heres mine:

1964 Ludwig
20" Kick
13" tom
16" floor
the snare there is a old pearl freefloater that used to belong to James from Pet Lamb, but its a bit fucked now.
Using a new Tama wood snare.
the bearing edges on the kit were redone about 6 years ago by Orange County Drum and Percussion to 45 degree angles, and it sounds fairly mighty for a 44 year old basher.

Best specialised drum shop in Ireland, I think. Was in before Christmas and he mentioned that there was a good drum builder in the North. He's also the Irish distributor for OCDP. He's heading to Cali for NAMM soon, so I'd say he'll be able to help you out in some way.

Here's mine, which looks strangely similar....

Its not really though. Its a Modern Drum Shop custom built kit. 18" bass drum, 14" floor tom and 10" tomtom. I like them small. And a DW snare which you cant really see here.

Thats lovely. Where'd you pick it up? Know nothing of Modern Drum Shop.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Man, where are you boys with your stripped-down drumkits when I'm recording?

 

[fenix]

I had to order it from New York. Its just a guy in NY with a small shop. He used to be a professional drummer himself. Great sounding kits, and its nice to know its one of a kind.

I hate big kits or kits with loads of cymbals.

Zildjians heaviest crash cymbal is the avedis rock crash. I had 18 & 19 inch for the last 4 yrs and then they broke at the start of the summer. I wanted 19" and 20" rock crashes this time round but they only go as far as 19". So i just bought two of em. One is slightly brighter than the other. But yeah its for super loudness. .|..|.|..|.|..|

 

[plug]

nice!

 

[shower another shower]

Your floor tom is 60's. your kick and rack are 70's. whats up with that? do you you know the history of your kit? its nice indeed. Lovely snare. Original yellow vistalite snare is the rarest of rare ludwigs.
We use a mic in the kick for practices too because our rehearsal room is totally dead.

rawk. you know the biggest cause of cymbal breaking is having them too high...
