[styler]

lol thats crazy, your kit looks exactly like mine does when i take out my 13" tom, except i have my splash over by my hi-hat.

im too lazy to put up my dream kit...this has been done before by the way

[saars]

what's the site of the place where you build these drums?

[[Fonya]]

DW Kit Builder. Its at their website.

[Sponer]

I'm currently working on my Tama Rockstars. I have basically all the drums now, I just need a rack and a lot of cymbals. When it's done, it should look something like this:
http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/3055/picture15qt.png


And once I make it that far, my plans as of now are to start working on another kit. :D This time, a simpler set up with high class drums and cymbals. Possibly Spaun, Pearl Refference, or Sonor Delete. But by the time I get that far, I'll have probably changed my mind 20 times. :D

[White]

I hope your lying, cause that is an amazing looking set. I Love the cran Berry Finish, and like I said I ahve two ppl to choose from who will do it professionally for free, so that realyl makes choosing drums alot easier, I dont have to give a dam about how the finish looks haha

[Sponer]

^ You hope I'm lying? Naw, that's what I've really have planned.
I figure I'll have it about done by my senior year at high school. :D

to punkrocker, your not gonna have your kit that tight together...youll have so much trouble playing it :(

[Massik Kretal]

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/3055/picture15qt.png

That looks an awful lot like TTTSNB's kit.

[punkrocker2o1]

to punkrocker, your not gonna have your kit that tight together...youll have so much trouble playing it :(
true but i cant fix it now..to my knowledge you can't save setups on DW kit builder:confused:

[White]

No you cant save them ,but ya, I wouldnt go with any of the graphics on the kitbuilder, I dont like any of them, I like alot of there laquers and satins though. it would be sweet if you could have more than DW hardware to choose from, and an actual cymbal selection not just the sizes, anyone agree with me on that?

[White]

what's the site of the place where you build these drums?

www.dwdrums.com/kitbuilder Its fun as hell

[styler]

amen, i like the red cedar and spider pine on DW.

you cant save the setup on the kitbuilder, but you can save it in paint...or you could just rebuild it lol

[mdrumman]

Hey my kit now is standar Yamaha YD (rydeen old model) and i like it, dream kit... definitley Yamaha or Sonor. Oak custom fusion with 14 and 16 floor toms with legs, or Sonor Delite birch same sizes. I like the sound of both of the kits and the features are awesome on both. finishes....i dunno something good looking and blue (more than likely a stain) and sabian cymbals

13 AAXfusion bottom/13HHX groove or Evo top)
16 AAXpolsion or HHX studio (aax i have)
17 AAX dark (i have)
18 HHXstudio crash
21 HH raw bell ride
17 AA fast china/ Saluda 18 Vodoo thin china
10 AAX splash

[mdrumman]

Last one doesnt seemm too crazy but the middle one...holy friggin crap man.. that makes grant collins' kit look like a jazz combo (if u dont kno who Grant Collins is then go to http://www.drummerworld.com

[spike9908]

grant collins kit is nothing compaired to terry bozzios. i dont think anything will ever match TB's current kit, well, at least not till next years.

[Cries Of The Past]

it looks as though everyone here likes big kits. I however enjoy a small kit.

My dream drums would likely be:


c&c Derek Grant shells (or Truth shells)
18x24" Bass drum
10x13" rack tom
16x18" floor tom
i'd keep my 13x3.5" Black panther snare

Rmv E90DP Eclipse double pedal
Rmv E90HH Eclipse Hi-hat stand
Rmv E90CB Eclipse Boom Stands x4
Rmv E90SS Eclipse Snare stand

18" Paiste sound formula heavy Crash,
20" Paiste medium dimension Crash
20" Paiste heavy dimension Crash
20" Paiste rude china
22" Piste 2002 power ride
mis-match set of 14-inch high hats consisting of a Paiste 2000 sound edge bottom and a paiste 2000 heavy top.

[Seafroggys]

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/seafroggys/Drum%20Pics/drums_later.gif

Sonor Designer Series, in maple

22x16 bass
12x9 tom

14" A New Beats *
18" 2002 Crash
18" AA Medium Crash *
17" Istanbul Sultan Crash
22" A Ping Ride
12" Wuhan Trad. Splash *

* = already have

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

grant collins kit is nothing compaired to terry bozzios. i dont think anything will ever match TB's current kit, well, at least not till next years.

They have about the same number of pedals, but Terry has wayyyy more drums than Grant, though Terry does use them to play melodies and stuff on while Grant doesn't have them tuned to a key or whatnot.


Those are some big drums seafroggys, my teacher would be proud of the 14" rack tom, he hates the fusion fad.

[blujelly]

Last one doesnt seemm too crazy but the middle one...holy friggin crap man.. that makes grant collins' kit look like a jazz combo (if u dont kno who Grant Collins is then go to http://www.drummerworld.com

Do you mean the one with 4 bass drums? If so i'd say it nearly looks like Alex Van Halen's kit

[playwithfire]

Well the kit I'll have in a few months is... pretty much my dream kit. It's functional, to the point, and well-rounded.

DW Maple Collector's Series, Royal Blue Lacquer Custom. 6"x14" 10+6 snare, 8"x10", 9"x12", 11"x14", 13"x16" toms, 18"x22" bass.

14" A Mastersound hats, 18" A Medium Thin crash, 10" A splash, 18" A Medium crash, 22" A Ping ride, 18" A china High.

DW 9000 series hardware, and either 9002/5002 double pedal, and matching hat stand.

After that... I'll be adding a bronze snare, maybe an 8" tom, and some more cymbals. My current cymbal plans is roughly 15 As.

My everything kit

[playwithfire]

Looks excessive. You don't need 5 million drums to be able to play "everything", nor do you need more than a few cymbals.

Personally, if I were playing metal, I'd go for double kicks, 8", 10", 14", 16" toms, a bronze snare, a heavy 22" ride, 2 18" or 19" medium crashes, a nice pair of hats, and a big and small china.

Punk? Single kick, a brass or steel snare, 12" and 14" toms, hats, a versatile ride, a small crash and a big crash.

Personally, I think you shouldn't have more than you need. If you *do* have more than you need, make sure it all gets used. I have a hard time believing some people wouldn't get lost sitting behind some of these kits :lol:.

[Aaron]

my dream setups much better than all of yours:

Brady Drums with charcoal-to-natural-fade

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

That 'punk' kit is pretty similar to what I have at the moment, and trust me I don't play punk on it.

aaron1 that is a bithcing set, I would love a Brady set myself, but I know its not going to happen. I'm just gonna get a Jarrah black snare.

[Drum Phil]

Yeah that "punk" kit is way excessive.

THATS what i use for punk with bits of it moved around
