Thank you to all who joined us on the Pearl Drummers Forum but we have decided to continue the conversation at the Pearl Drummers Group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/pearldrummersgroup Although the Pearl Drummers Forum is closed, the content is still searchable as there are many informative threads on Pearl gear. We hope to see you at the Pearl Drummers Group!
Great Pictures, I love outdoor photos of drums =) Great setup you have there very nice cymbal choices you've made so far. I know it takes a lot of time to set them up outside just to take pictures to share so THANKS for sharing, well done! REP!
is that 18 inch K Cust Dark crash, dude? I have the 17 one, almost 10 years old, covered with soft dirts and dust, but no rust and/or pit..the sound is just getting better and better along with its age I bet you love your very much too!
Very nice kit, man! simple yet classy! and yeah, you can add one china, two splashes, and another crash..move the 2nd tom to your left side and get a 10 inch popcorn snare --> sounds Great, eh?
REP!
haha thanks man. mine is a 17 also, and i do love it very much
i'm actually starting more and more to play with just a 10 and 14 - its easier to set up. and im also going sometime this week to look at a 12" pork pie maple snare

well, i'd suggest playing around with it a bit. it looks pretty stretched and unstable... but hey, if it works and seems stable enough to you, more power to you. just making sure your precious gear isn't going to collapse!
haha yeah. good suggestion i'll mess around with it sometime when i get around to it.
and yeah. i can't remember why it was originally set up like that... that was the only way i could do it for some reason. but i just never changed it. it's really quite stable!

looks good man, real good! i love that finish, and your cymbals are great as well. very well set-up.
one thing i would suggest, if i may....
do something about the way your right-hand cymbal stand is. the one with your ride and floor tom on it. position it so the arm isn't boomed out so far. maybe put it closer to your bass drum, and angle the clamp/tom-arm differently. it looks dangerous, and i fear for the safety and well-being of such a beautiful drumset!
stay classy.
thanks!

I like it man... nice set-up, and drums/cymbs look very well-maintained! Great finish too! Looks versatile and easy to get around.
I have a 14"x12" (?) floor (hanging) in my set-up as well but I think I'd prefer it actually on the floor. I'm curious if any drum co. sells something to convert a hanging floor tom into a floor-floor tom :-) ...short of drilling holes for brackets myself, of course!
thanks for the kind words! and yeah i know what you mean about the hanging tom. i like mine hanging. but it makes set-up a tad more difficult and tedious. something like this might help you though...
