yup. i've got the 6" mounted over my hihats, and the 9" beside my ride. makes for some interesting bits when used in conjunction with the ride bell. One of my splashes (the one that isn't pictured ) is a 16" K custom session crash that went through a house fire, cracked around one of the lathe...

I'm a zildjian man, but some saluda's are reeeeal tempting...... i AM in the market for some mini-hats.....

i've got 3 splashes now, a ride, crash ride turned into a sizzle ride, 2 china's (one is a mini) 2 crashes, hihats, and i'm working on getting a pair of mini-hats. the 3rd splash, sizzle ride, and one of the chinas isn't pictured in the pic i posted, and drossfile i think your kit deserves...

i had a pair of 727's i really liked..... i wonder what happened to those..... i'm a pro-mark 5a nylon tip kinda guy, or 7a's for quieter stuff.

cool stuff mediumus! is that organ real or synthesized?

Haha, ernie can blast pretty well it seems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuduUvfjw_s this is a classic too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKGiOY72ru4&feature=related

Well as far as hitting hard goes, i NAIL my snare most of the time if i'm really gettin into it, and hit the toms and kick hard, but i don't blast into my cymbals. They get loud and obnoxious when you do. I don't know what it is about Ahead sticks, i've tried the 7a's, 5a's, and i believe the...

beautiful drums, sir. the finish on the superstar kit is gorgeous.

The thing with the aheads is that if you're doing rimshots constantly, which is common, it puts a lot of stress on the aluminum. Not to mention the first pair i bought, one of the nylon tips came of and the threaded end went straight through my snare head, and left a nice scratch in the inside...

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?

My suggestion would be to get some el-cheapos in a bunch of different sizes and get those down to 2 or 3 you like, and then get some better sticks in those sizes and go from there. Remember to try different companies too, as some can be a little different.

i'm with farview on the aheads, and if you're doing rimshots, those covers get screwed up reaaaall quick.

very nice, sir. i actually forgot about my cowbell... perhaps i'll put it up tomorrow.

haha it wasn't directed toward everybody, but toward everybody, specific person. but you can if you like, too greggles.

feel free to post yours everybody

haha. can't say i've never done it, but on the other hand i do love the range a couple extra toms gives me.

haha it's a 6 piece, both rack toms are just off to the left a little. i'm trying to decide if i wanna move 'em back over and use the 8" to the left of them, or use it to the right as an accent.

anybody else?

Jeeze. You all got some nice stuff! That DMR kit looks stunning! Here's mine, I've since added another splash and an 8" tom, and cleaned the up the setup a bit.. The little concert tom in that pic is going on a pedal mount to be placed on the left side of the hihat pedal. and YES i realize...

Awesome stuff man. I can't say i'm a fan of the guitar tone, but nothing else would work for this. it sounds GREAT in this context.
