Tommy_D's Drums

[Drumming-4-Life]

Speaking of drums that are for sale, or in this case "were" for sale, here are some photos of my recently sold PDP Concept Maple in Transparent Cherry. Sizes are 12/14/20/14. Cymbals are a mix of Istanbul Mehmet and Sabian HHX's. Hardware is all Gibraltar.

Are you a photographer, or do you have a friend with a photography studio?

[Tommy_D]

I have camera gear and a backdrop but I'm not a photographer. Just someone who likes taking photos. No studio. These are taken in my basement. Depending on the size of the kit or the angle of the photo, I have to use photoshop to add in a bit more back drop on the edges of the image.



This one took a while to add in the extra background.

Your photos are really nice.

So frigging redundant quoting the entire previous post.

Amazing how you guys just don't get it.

Your photos are really nice.

Thanks! Its just a 2 light setup with umbrellas, shot in RAW and some editing/color correction in post. Nothing major. I don't do any crazy stuff to hide flaws or fix reflections on the bass drum heads. Case in point, you can see the ugly green floor with the even uglier rug I'm kneeling on in the reflection of the PDP's bass drum head.

I agree.

Still a really great job. Cheers.

I need to get some nicer photos of this kit, but here is my PDP Concept Birch kit in natural to charcoal fade:



Sizes are 24x14, 10x8, 12x9, another 12x9, and 16x14. Snare is a 14x5.5 PDP Ace with Pearl Mastercast hoops on it. Sabian Cymbals (Mix of AAX, HH, and HHX series) and Tama Hardware. I decided to try Evans Onyx heads on this kit. One of these days, I'll pull this out to take proper photos. Maybe when I cut new edges on the drums.

This is arguably my coolest kit... because it has a cowbell.

Those Reference MCC’s are absolutely Gorgeous! That set up looks like a blast to play.

[Tommy_D]

Thanks, Pearlnpaisteguy. That setup really made me think about new ways of creating drum parts. Right now, the kit is in cases and I am getting my Mapex Saturn kit setup in it's place. I'm thinking I'll go 3 up/2 down with it. I'll probably be less creative though.

Were the edges junk on this kit when you got it?

Your collection of cymbals is fantastic!
