Put up some pics of your kit

[Greg_L]

There's too much programming/drum sample talk in here. Put up some pics of your real drums if you have some.

Here's mine:
Mapex Pro-M - Paiste 2002s and a RUDE.
Ludwig Supraphonic 14x6.5 snare.

Animal chillin on the Supra.

I always imagined you were taller.

Gretsch Blackhawk with 2 Paistes, a 24" Sabian HH, and Ludwig Acrolite 5x14
Lately I've been trying to get it to sound more like a software modeller

That last one is Mister Snuggles. He is a good boy.
Here he is thinking about heavy shit:

Agreed. I've been scrolling past this forum every time I see a drum programming thread at the top.

Here are my 2 kits. The black one is what my students use. The red one is mine.

TEMPUS fibreglass drums:

Nice. I used to have a cowboy hat too, but I could never capture it cleanly in the overheads.

Yeah, that's my higher-hat.

Well, I don't have a kit right now, but this was my most recent one. I sold it a few months ago.

Ludwig Element 6-piece; Tama Iron Cobras. The cymbals in these pics were borrowed, so they weren't mine. I can't remember what they were anyway.

Mic'd. This was from one of my old bands. We were in the midst of recording a second album, but stuff happens and we just fell apart. The album never got finished.

Just curious, what round things were you asking about?

 

[Track Rat]

What are the round things?

I'm pretty sure they're drums.

Here's one of 3 sets I have.

Pearl Birch shells and a no name steel snare
Paiste cymbals- twenty series . dark energy, and 2002

 

[Track Rat]

Here's one of two studio kits I use here. These are the Pearls. I'm not that crazy about these but they're OK.

 

[RAMI]

Peace, Rat.

Some really cool looking set ups so far. I'm digging this thread.

Yeah, me too, I have new found respect for drummers.
Those are some really cool kits!

I still play kit on some gigs, but for the last few decades I have become known as a hand drummer and I play for belly dancers. I include pictures of both of my types of drums.

The drum kits are custom kits with mostly Tama hardware. I play an 20" kick and I have a number of snares, but on my club kit it's usually a Yamaha custom birch with wood hoops (great for cross stick). I have a ton of cymbals and switch them around a lot. Most of my cymbals are Zildjian Custom "A" but I do have a few K's and I prefer the Wuhan China crashes to the more expensive types made by the bigger cymbal manufacturers because the Wuhans have this specific trashier metal sound.

The Mother of pearl derbakkis (doumbek/darbukas) were made for me in Egypt by either Khemis Henkish, Hassan or Gwaharet El Fan. I have them all fitted with Remo SkynDeep heads. These aren't your standard "doumbeks". They are very high quality and much heavier than your standard readily available mass marketed "doumbeks" ( and they are very expensive).

Here's one of my kits from about 7 or eight years ago:

Here's my 5 piece club kit:

These are some of my drums that I play now most of the time:

Here's a selection of some of my hand drums:

 

[Track Rat]

That's one of the coolest looking kits I've ever seen. The hand drums are extremly cool too.

 

[Greg_L]

Good stuff yall.

Couldnt really find a good pic of this kit. This is a Pearl ECX maple kit. Its probably the cheapest but best sounding kit Ive ever bought. Currently I have it stripped down and am putting a polyurethane coating on the inside of the shells. The good people at pearl told me that this was the only real difference between a "master series" maple shell and a export maple shell, except for the hardware and more time spent on the finish.
Im pretty much finished but debating if i wanna put some new covering's on em?
