Show me your kits

[Razzy]

trick dominators are too expensive for me to bother with
i got my demon drives for $300 off craigslist, and am quite happy with them
The raptors were my #2 choice

Yeah man, if I saw Demon Drives for $300, I'd probably buy them, lol.

here's my gorgeous kit. dont know the exact series or name of the finish, but its a DW and inside one of the toms theres a date stamp, like 1997 or 1998 i cant remember. went with a pearl rack because id heard the clamps could rotate if they were a little loose on the round gibraltar tubes. ive had most of these cymbals for like 8 years. im sure im going to need to start investing in some new ones in a few years.

this is right when i got it and for shits and giggles i put up all the cymbals i had stands for.

this is a more recent pic, a lot closer to how i set it up now with the third tom being quite a bit lower.

used to have an iron cobra pedal that worked beautifully. but the threads on the hoop clamp got stripped out and the main pedal has some serious slack. ive been using a pearl eliminator for about a year and a half now and i love it.

ride/crash on the right has been replaced with an AAX Stadium Ride, Alu Bell is now on top of the left hi-hat, and sawblade over china has been replaced with a splash.

Well, I have Sabian and Meinl too and I also had Paiste, Zildjian and Istambul... So far, the sound I get from the TRXs is the one I like the most.

I mean, they are super versatile and explosive yet controlled. The ride is brutally defined and pingy (which I love), the splashes cut through the mixes like hot knives thru butter, the hats sounds great but I have heard better (they sound very similar to AAX Xcelerators), the chinas are like whipslashes (the 12" sounds kinda funny though, sounds like Indiana Jones whipslash) and the crashes sound huuuge (the NRG 18" is huge sounding, is like a wall of sound).

So far, I am loving them and would highly recommend them....
