Show me your kits

[Stealthtastic]

Every time I glance at this thread, I think it says "show me your kids."

On a more contributing note. There are some really nice sets in this thread. I wish I could play drums haha

I see 'Show me your tits"

So I guess we know who the mature one here is

 

[Goatfork]

Well, being that I can't drum for shit and am on the verge of living out of my car, this is my kit.

[All is well, for I fucking love it.]

thats a really interesting setup man, how that hh powerbell? looks awesome
but i could have some serious fun on that kit

It was a HH powerbell, I had it re-hammered by Sabian to raise the pitch. I found it would blend to much whenever I played double kick (Which is a lot!)

I'm seeing a lot of nice kits on this thread now. I'm happy I brought this thread back to life! Ha!

Axis are nice pedals, I wish my feet we're so screwed up that so that I could play long boards.
I'm curious though, does your drummer break a lot of cymbals? The B8's look really out of place on that kit.

Why cant you play longboards?

He does but not nearly as much as he used to.
He bought all these the same time he got the kit so it was preference this time.

oh, wait...kits...shit

I honestly wish I knew why I can't play longboards. It's pretty damn retarded, and infuriating. I had a pair of Trick Dominator's for 2 or so years, and my feet could never adjust to them. Any 160~180 BPM range double bass runs (especially 8th note triplets) I couldn't do, no matter how much I practiced or developed new techniques. But as soon as I replaced them with speed Cobra's my double kick is immediately back on track.

I suppose that makes sense, buying all high quality cymbals all at once would be damn expensive!

This is my kit. Bought November 2011.

I'm a drummer first, guitarist second

I'm a huge fan of Alex Rudinger and Travis Orbin - I owe a lot of my technique and kit setup to those gentlemen. They truly are amazing musicians and I have the most respect in the world for both of them.

hows those raptors treating you?

 

[Fred the Shred]

This topic appears at the top of the section a number of times, and every single one of them I read "Show me your tits". I need sleep. Now.

 

[Razzy]

They're fantastic, man.

I'm really surprised at just how good they are.

I used to use Trick Dominators and plan on getting another set, and while these aren't nearly THAT good, they're hanging with me just fine in the mean time.

 

[ShadowFactoryX]

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
