**Drummer thread***

Ddrum Dominator maple-
26"kick
14,16,18"toms
6.5x14"Ludwig Black Magic snare
Sabian AAX-Plosion cymbals 18,19,20" crash
Sabian AAX Stage Ride 21"
Sabian AAX Stage Hats 14"
Aquarian heads all around

Premier xpk the first year the snare matched the toms, but use a pearl piccolo. Both Sabian and Zildgan cymbals. Is it as hard for everyone else to find other musicians to play with?

I have a Gretsch Catalina Maple 6 piece with Paiste cymbals.

My next video will be my version of "Head Down" by soundgarden simply because that is the greatest drum riff in the history of drumming. super hard to play though.

Been a drummer since I can remember. My dad has two sets; the last American made Slingerland's that were his high school graduation present in 1980 and he has a Yamaha set that is the same one that Larry Mullen uses in "Rattle and Hum". I don't know the exact measurements of the drums but they sound great. I hope to own my own set one day.

Thats awesome! Do you have any kits in mind that you would like to buy in the future?

Probably either Slingerlands or Yamahas or Ludwigs. Slingerlands have this certain sound I love but so do Yamaha and Ludwigs. I love the last two Yamaha sets Matt Cameron has had, especially today's, and the famous see through's that John Bonham has from TSRTS. Whenever I find the right one, I'll post it here.

Maybe I'll post a pic of the Slingerland set tomorrow.

This is my kit from earlier in the year




I've been upgrading my cymbals, but currently I'm using:
Paiste Signature Reflector Heavy Full Crash 16"
Paiste Signature Reflector Heavy Full Crash 18"
Paiste Signature Reflector Heavy Full Crash 19"
Paiste Signature Splash 8"
Paiste Signature Thin China 16"
Paiste 2002 Heavy Hi Hats 14"
...and a very old Zildjian ride

I have a 19" Paiste Signature Dark Energy Crash 19" that I'm going to replace the 16" crash with, so if anyone is wanting to buy a Paiste Signature Reflector Heavy Full Crash that's in perfect condition, send me a PM!

The kit I bought around 1989. It's a Premier Resonator, with a Premier Signia snare. I use a DW 5002 pedal, and the rest of the hardware is either Premier or generic brands.

I think this is my 3rd kit. Got my first one in 1984 with was a CB700, then around 1986 I got a Pearl Export, then around 1989 thru now is the kit above.

Awesome set.

Sweet kit hoff
i really like those paistes!!

Thanks!

Yeah, I used to use only Zildjian and Sabian, and I'd crack them left and right. My Zildjian K 19" crash was just not cutting enough and was cracked, so I tried a Paiste Signature Full Crash... and what a clean, perfect sound! I then replaced all of my crashes and my china with Paiste Sig Full's. ...and I cracked every damn one of those crashes too. So about 6 months ago I replaced all three of my Paiste Sig Full crashes with Paiste Sig Heavy Full Reflector crashes, and they've sounded amazing too, and I hope are more durable. ...though I'm now selling my 16" Pasite Signature Heavy Full Reflector Crash because I have a Paiste Sig Dark Energy 19" crash coming in about a week to me. I wanted a little of a trashier crash as an option that was still in the signature line.

I'm surprised more rock musicians don't use Paiste. While traditional Sabians and Zildjians sound good on acoustic rock, nothing beats the Paiste signatures on a clean rock crash sound that's crisp. I highly recommend them.

Sweet kit and nice playing man!!
I will try to get some pics up of my kit really soon!!

thanks dude. Heres a pic as well.


might as well give some details too:
14' paiste 2002 sound edge hi hats
16' paiste alpha crash
10' paiste alpha metal splash
18' paiste 2002 wild crash
20' paiste alpha full ride
17 paiste 2002 crash (cracked bad & not in pic)
Evans ec2 heads
PDP platinum series maple snare
pearl p-120p double pedal converted back to a single pedal.

The only thing my kit still needs is a new hi-hat stand. My pedal is always sticking and I hardly ever open and close the hat while plying because of it.

How do you like the 2002 Wild Crash? I heard good things about it, but ended up going the Dark Energy route instead.
