Funny you say that. My kit looks 100 times better in pictures than in real life. It's beeen through hell and back.
Since you asked so nicely, no.

"Hi, I'm in Delaware."
Mine is a Gretsch Renown Maple kit; I think it's the Euro kit, except that my "floor" tom doesn't seem to be anything they have listed. Let's see...
18x22 kick
8x10 high tom
8x12 mid tom
11x14 low tom (I really don't know what the depth is, but in theory it's 14)
5x14 snare
Cymbals are all from the Zildjian A pack, except for a Wuhan china I got recently. I have another splash from the K series or something like that lying around, but I don't have any way to mount it right now.
20" ride
16" thin crash
14" hats (New Beat)
10" splash
18" Wuhan china
I kinda wish my low tom was bigger so it could tune lower and I could be an epic metal drummer, but alas, I'll live with what I've got until I can afford more. I'll probably still keep all my toms up even if I get more, though. I love having options and big kits look cool. I also want a rack system to make my life easier. Oh yeah, there's also a tambourine on there and I have a cowbell somewhere, but I took it off cuz I never use it.

Here are my little cans. That Plum Loco band was a lot of fun. But, it lives no more. Oh well.
The snare, toms, and kick are electronic with mesh heads. I use a Roland TD-10 and most folks believe they are real. Sometimes other drummers approach me after shows and ask about what heads or what mics I use to get such a good sound.
Tee Hee!

nice nice, i was actually thinking about building a mesh headed trigger kit just to plink around on when it's too late to play my acoustic kit. how well do they trigger? and are you using a crossbar sort of thing inside or rim triggers?

"Hi, I'm in Delaware."
Whaaaat. I probably would've been one of those drummers. Isn't it harder to do rolls with those, though? I see that you use real cymbals, though, which solves all the problems of pad cymbals being impossible to work with (in my opinion).Here are my little cans. That Plum Loco band was a lot of fun.

I use these guys...
Just a small amount of pressure against the mesh and they work like a charm. No triggering problems at all once you get the sensitivity set right.
The mesh heads give great stick rebound which makes the drums more fun to play now. Rolls are actually easier. I play lighter and with less effort, but yet it sounds bigger. The band's stage volume (and rehearsal volume) has been way lower too, to boot.
I do not use mesh on the kick though. That is a regular head (triggered) but it is heavily muffed.
Yep, real cymbals.
Some time ago I had a full Hart Dynamics kit. It totally sucked ass, so I dumped it.

What about 10", 12" rack, then 14" floor and buy a 16"? Either sell the 18" or move it round the other side. Or do what philgood does ^^^

I just meant that rolls never sound quite right on the electronic kits I play with at GC. They just sound like a bunch of loud hits in rapid succession, and they don't always pick up all the hits, I think.
It would certainly make my roommates a lot happier if I had an electronic kit, though...

nice drums...
here is an older shot of my pieced-together set. no matter really, as it is still virtually unchanged, save for a little different set-up.

Yeah, nice kits though. But I can't believe how many cymbals some dudes, like PhilGood, have.
I got hats, 2 crashes and a ride.
