Could it work?

[zfzgg]

Alright, i had another burst of random drumming thoughts today, and this is what came out...

What would you think of a kit that was just two bass drums (same size) and a snare? I'd also of course have some hats, crashes, ride etc.

I think it would really force you to be more creative, a making more from less sort of thing.

-Also, think of how much $$$ you'd save, that would be insane!

[Drum Phil]

Think how much you'd save using a double pedal instead

[Bryan Blakey]

Try just hats and snare. Now THAT is forcing you to be creative. I remember one gig I had where my bass pedal broke and I forgot the arm that attached the tom to my bass drum, so I had to manage with hats, a ride, a snare and a floor tom. It was interesting.

[beaker_747]

Doesn't the drummer for 3 Inches of Blood have a kit similar to what you're saying?

[RichHunt]

OMG OMG!

TRY A SNARE DRUM! WITH NO SNARE HEADS! NO STAND AND NO SNARE!

OMG CREATIVITY PLUS! :rolleyes: :lol:

I count 4 crashes, snare, 2 bass drums and a floor tom

[CasB]

How 'bout Bass, Snare, Floortom, where the floortom is the same size as the bassdrum :p

[deadwith0utmusic]

how bout a snare, a bass, two mounted toms, one floor tom, hit hats, a ride and a crash. O man would that be sweet!

[FockerTheLopper]

How bout 18x16 bass and 20x18 floor tom... That would awsome

Playing with only a ride cymbal cymbal stand and sticks will force you to be creative(if your a jazz drummer)

[VTDS_xx]

Eh. I guess. Dillinger Escape Plan's drummer uses a Bass, Snare and Floor Tom with a Double pedal. Not too much diff. than his. Could be fun I guess, but I like toms too much for that idea.

[Parradiddle Pete]

Try 6 basses, 16 8" picollo toms and 18 other sized toms. With like 100 odd cymbals and a gong. What a sweet idea, wish someone would do that





























oh :(

You know how we all talk about 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 pieces......

Well Terry, he felt the need to be special.... So he went out and got himself a 37 PIECE!!!!! Not to forget 12 Pedals.....


What a pain in the *** to tune!!

[Dookiedude3005]

OMG OMG!

TRY A SNARE DRUM! WITH NO SNARE HEADS! NO STAND AND NO SNARE!

OMG CREATIVITY PLUS! :rolleyes: :lol:


How about no kit at all! Your given a mic and you have to play drums with your mouth AKA beat box......


pwned mofo:D

[Aaron]

i quite often play the following at church, helps me play for the song and not get lazy:

16x22 Bass
6.5x14 Snare
18" Crash Ride [awsome cymbal for learning to control/use wash effectively]

[Sabian4015]

I think Bozzio has some good memory to remember all of his toms and cymbals, and pedals, and bass drums, and snares. **** what doesen't he have?

[zfzgg]

A 50-piece?

The man needs a crash cymbal.

[Parradiddle Pete]

Bozzio doesnt have... A LIFE!. He spends all his life writing 20 minute 'melodic drum compositions'. He remebers all his toms because they all have a note written on them (the 8" ones do anyways) With all these amazing players with huge kits (especially Bozzio, portnoy and lang) I would love to hear the rock away on a 5 piece with hats crash and ride, maybe a splash. That (IMHO) is the only way to test out their REAL skill




EDIT: Hey, I wonder if he can play twinkle twinkle :rolleyes:

Wasn't Portnoy in that Beatles tribute band? He was rocking a four-piece in there, and his LTE kit was a fairly stripped down version of his DT kit. Not to mention that he now uses a Bonzo replica five-piece on his siamese monster.

[Aaron]

i'd like to see bozio play a 3 piece with hat, ride, crash and SINGLE-KICK like everyone else. then we'll see how good he is.

[Flamer]

amazing

[Drum Phil]

Im pretty sure a couple of the stacked ones are crashes. I know i read it somewhere

[JIRONS]

Joey Castillo of QOTSA will sometimes only use SD, BD & FT, which he can make sound amazing.
