You basically bought the snare and got the rest free. :)

Anyone running a multi pad based setup in lieu of a full acoustic or electronic kit?

Sabian 20" AA Medium Crash

I have a 20" AA Medium Thin, and I was (and still am) looking for a matching Thin, but they're hard to find.
I came across the Medium for a sweet price and thought I'd...

I don't know how much I actually use my backrest while playing, but I prefer having it there.

I'll also add that the rotating and up and down movement of the Nitro Rock N Soc is important to...

Remo Powerstroke 4 for my DW 6.5x14 BNOB (which I decided to keep for now)

It's too muffled at higher tunings and not muffled enough at low tunings.
I prefer the Emperor I had on before with a...

How are the wood hoops holding up?

That picture actually comes from a thread on here.

1st choice - high tension lugs

2nd choice - 20 (10 top/10 bottom) old school coffin style lugs

That's my kind of kit.
You should totally get them and post lots of pictures and video. :D

I believe the DW stainless steel kits are priced inline with their exotics.
Someone like Erik at Cymbal...

We played on the Gattuso stage, which seems to be kind of a lagniappe part of the festival.
I don't remember exactly what we were called, and I'd rather not give the girl's name.

Looking into it,...

Y'all wanna hear about how we opened but not really opened for KISS a few years ago?

I was in the jazz band in high school. My buds played bass and guitar, and we'd rock out.
The guitar player...

Got it.

It's not too far fetched to think there could be some cross promotion or something going on with Pearl and Gibson with KISS calling it quits.

Hey Al, what's this about?

KISS uses Gibson guitars and Pearl drums because they want the Best!

Are Gibson and Pearl together on something?

Not really.

I'm happy with my D112 and Beta 52A.

This was my list.

I got 4 out of 11.
Some I absolutely knew, but most of them were guesses and process of elimination.
I own a D112 and a B52, and I got one wrong - but I was close. LUL

1 -...

16 left 12/10 up 14/18 down

10/12/16 right to left
12/14/18 left to right

10 RH / 12 LH / 14 RH / 16 LH / 18 RH

I made some videos a long time ago of different combinations of random cymbals - splashes, crashes, chinas, rides.
Included are some Billy Ward style ride stacks.
Check em out....

Without all those little toms in the way, you can put a cowbell on each kick.
Double kicks. Double bells.

Lose the 8/10/12/13 toms, throw the 14 in a snare basket between the kicks, and run the 16 & 18 on the side.
Problem solved. Next question. :D

I had a snare come into my possession with a regular 7mil Diplomat head on the snare side.
The snare sounded neat upside down - really dry and crisp.
If you have an extra batter head lying around,...

Get whatever Travis Barker is playing.

Yes. Do it.

A goal of mine is to do the same but with the DW Performance series.
I'd like to get 12/13/14/16/18/20/24.

Nice kit.
I like all the Gibraltar multi mount stands.
What do you think of the tom suspension system?

Also, can you describe your space?
Is it a room in a house or something else?

I know right?
That's a good Elvis impersonator.

I got a third Shure KSM27 microphone.
I use two as overheads, and this new one is paired with a D112 on my bass drum.
The D112 gets the punch and the KSM27 gets the low end bloom.

I've also been...
