Pictures of "Gun Metal Sparkle" please!

[drummer2k7]

Here's the most recent pic I have (back in April I believe...?) Added a few things since then and my setup changes pretty frequently. I have been playing the Roland a lot lately due to neighbors and noise restrictions. My acoustic set has been feeling a bit neglected lately. That's why I had to buy the 8x7...keep it happy and all.

The stooges are awesome btw

Kit looks good!

UPS just got here with my LG-07's so now I'm looking at the 14x11 tom tom set up on legs as a floor tom. Yeah me! It'll be a week or so until I can get pictures. Friday the earliest.
Now I'm really salivating to do the same with a 16x13.

omg, that finish is absolutely beautiful. awesome man

[Ron "The Sledge"]

I should have taken pics last night because tonight will be more hectic with a full dress rehearsal. But, I will take them. Post them asap, hopefully over the weekend.

For me, an old timer used to floor toms with legs, it was a huge difference having legs on the 14x11. I had more confidence in it's stability somehow. Positioning it and the cymbals it used to share a stand with was a breeze for each. If I wanted to adjust its positioning ever so slightly through the evening it was easy as pie. Could hardly do that when it shared a cymbal stand. Awful! Best over all floor tom positioning too since I've had the kit!
Good on me.
Looks cool too!
Gotta find a 16x13 and do the same. That kit needs to be 7 pieces, it's screaming for it.

[Ron "The Sledge"]

Well... now, the kit is 7 pieces! The 14" has legs but the newly acquired 16x13 still needs brackets installed and legs too.
Anyway, here's a photo. I'll post more later:

Very cool Ron! I am loving the set up! So happy you are diggin them as much as you are!

[drummer2k7]

The legs look pretty slick on that 14"! You've got a great looking set!

I'm still waiting on the I.S.S. mount for my new 8" so I haven't mounted it up on the set yet, but I'm pretty stoked for it.

Like having a crush on a girl I can't get the kit off my mind.

I like not having a "box" 14 and 16 and the legs make all the difference. I've got the 16 hanging on it's own stand so it's not as much an issue like the 14 was sharing a stand with cymbals. Still, it will be on legs soon as well.

D2k7, you will enjoy having that extra little tom tom. I didn't think I would like the 8" so much. I just wish it was 5 lug instead of 4. 00**

Just goes to show that you don't necessarily need a high zoot kit to get ya grinnin'!

Yes, it's a funny phenomenon I've been trying to reason in my own mind. Do I like the mid level stuff better than the high end? And, why? Does that make me trailer trash of the drum world?

I was just thinking...

[pearlygates]

Hahaha.. well .. I used to own a Masters custom MMX.. quite frankly my Vision birch/basswood/birch shells are easier to tune and sound better to my ears than I could ever get the high zoot MMX to sound. I guess you and I may be anomalies!

Oh nice! A ressurected thread dedicated to one of my favorite EXR colors. Here is my GMS kit, some pics the first night I got her, and then some more recent pics. My cymbal set up is always changing, but feel free to ask me anything about the set up. I am also downsizing and getting rid of the straight rack. Going to used the curved rack on the EXR and go with stands on the SBX.















and finally, a pic of where I practice. That is my Blue Burst Sessions SBX next to the GMS

[Ron "The Sledge"]

Nicely done!
