my Drums:)

Yamaha Beech Custom
20" Bass Drum
10, 12, 14" toms (12 not shown)
12" Dw collectors series snare
14" Istanbul Mel Lewis Hi hats
18" Istanbul sultan crash
21" Istanbul agop ride

This is our early 1900's Brambach baby grand. Cherry case, ivory keys. (It's really dusty)

I am in no way musically talented.

I love the reflections in the window.

Here's mine: it's a Kron #1B and even though I ripped the pictures off the vendor's website this is the instrument I play. Chris (the guy running Toneczar) had never sold a #1B model before mine so he took pictures of it for his site before shipping it to me.

This is our early 1900's Brambach baby grand. Cherry case, ivory keys. (It's really dusty)

I am in no way musically talented.

I love the reflections in the window.

My father used to be a piano mover in the BCF* days. He told me he and a crew spent a while getting this full size Steinway perfectly centered in front of a bay window. When they were done, the lady who bought it said "It looks great, now someone has to learn how to play it." :rolleyes:


I don't have any pictures of my trumpet, and it's kinda beat up from marching season, and needs to be cleaned, but it's an everyday run of the mill, Bach Stradivarius.

I aughta slap you for using a Stradivarius for marching!
I'm gonna learn tuba and coronet, too
Coronet was a Dodge, cornet is the horn. :p
...and does music theory count as an instrument? haha
YES!
Put in another vote for brass!

I have a Yamaha YEP-201 Euphonium (or baritone) with a Schilke 51D mouthpeice. I used a Besson in high school that looked like it had been hit by a truck, but sounded wonderful.

Yamaha's YBH-301S Baritone Horn is a lot of fun to play as well.

Any YEP-### is a euphonium, NEVER a baritone horn (yes there's a difference.) You should probably move to a 321 if possible, 4th valves FTW.

I also play a Besson. It's an oooold Sovereign, lacquer, with a 12" bell. I also have a Bach Stradivarius 36B, an old Besson baritone (3 valve compensating), and I'm playing my King Tempo 600 trumpet again for a class. I play my school's Conn 83H bass trombone fairly often too. I used to have a Rogue bass, but I had it for about 6 years, and never really got around to learning how to play it, so I gave it to my brother.


Who wants to help me make a tromboon? :D

*: Before Counterfit.

Awesome thread. I'm a grind/post-rock player, so naturally, I have some weird stuff. I was in a band that toured for three years (myspace.com/Capistrano), but I recently left to pursue other interests. (Living in a van with 3 guys who you are nothing like is a difficult process).

Here's pictures of my drumset, snare drum, and a totally cool looking picture of my piano. There's pics of my Bass guitar and acoustic guitar too.

The brand of my drumset is Ludwig and the color is metallic blue. I'm not going to bother naming the drums sizes and all that. I mostly use Ludwig and remo heads on my drums, but occasionally I use Evans. The cymbals I use are Sabian B8 & Zildjian Planet Z mostly. I use a few random cymbals too. All of my cymbals aren't even in this picture. My snare is a Royce Pro Custom and I love it. It's my baby. And the piano came form my grandma, who taught piano all of her life. I only know mostly basic stuff on the piano and guitars and I can play a few songs.

My sister used to play it so its not entirely pointless. :p

When we moved from my old house to my new house the movers almost broke it. Apparently the legs slide off the opposite way than most pianos. :confused::rolleyes:

wow very very very nice mr lefty :p. lol.

have u ever played with zildjian cymbals?? how would u say they go compared to your sabians?
haha...yes, im unique with a unique kit :p
Well ive played sabians for 10 years...they sound nice, its hard to compare sabian and zildjian since its really general, if you specified a series in each i could help you out...but as of now is time for a change...so im buying all new zildjian A-customs.

Ive already started replacing my cymbals...I just got the a custom 18" china and 18" oriental china.
