For Drummers Only !

I never thought of using pics. You guys and gals have some really amazing setups.

My ex-wife who played drums, while I played guitar, and she used a very old 6 piece maple Rodgers set with a full range of vintage Zildjians (1950s or 1960s era) for the practice studio set, and an inexpensive 5 piece MX 100 set (made by Pearl I think) with vintage Zildjian hi-hats, vintage Zildjian crash, an unknown crash made in Germany which may have been old, and a new Pearl hammered ride.

Later on when I took up drums, I just used a similar MX-1000 with some inexpensive Pearl cymbals. I don't remember if I got the inexpesive Zildjian Advedis set of crash/ride/hi-hat or parts of that set, but I always wanted the slightly more intermediate Sabian set of cymbals.

If money was no object, I would get the Yamaha set the OP has, but maybe 3 piece but with a ton of cymbals.

Great rig man. What's with the holes in the snare? Did it come that way or is a customization? What does it do to the sound?

Hey thanks! Yup it did come that way, it's a "vented" snare drum, it results in a very loud, pretty bright, and very sensitive drum, it definitely takes some getting use to if your used to playing on a normal snare drum. I play in a hardcore/metalcore band and it cuts through all the guitars like a champ, even un mic'd. Jazz is another story though.... lol

OUCH!!! thats a harsh comment!

my drum kit and whatnot are below.

Kit:
1x old Pearl Export - 5 piece. need new skins

Snares/Toms:
1x Piccolo 14" snare (Powerstroke 3)
1x Chad Smith Signature Snare (Coated Embassador)
Toms and Kick all use powerstroke 3's IIRC.yes very

Cymbals:
(i am a zildjian man)
1x Scimatar Zildjian Crash 18"
1x A Custom Crash 16" (shreaded) coupled with a 14" Scimatar crash - makes a REALLY interesting trashy sound
1x K Custom 18" Dark Custom (my baby)
1x A Custom 14" Hi-Hats. these are brand new, and im having troubles moving from the light 13" Scimatars to a HEAVY 14" A custom (anybody have any advice to get used to them?)

Extras:
Bougaraboo, African drum. my Osteopath gave it to me for my 18th birthday - it produces a really nice sound. she skinned it herself (the drum, not the cow ).

Sticks:
Currently using 5B Aheads (not any signature ones). i love them to death, very cheap too! ive already broken 3 sets though
5B Zildjian Nylon Tips

Sadly mine is sitting in a stack. I am in the middle of converting it to an e-drum set with a 32 input Megadrum unit. I have the Megadrum sitting on a rack, unused
