New setup....

[TheBennyP]

Some pics of my kit....please excuse the limited picture angles, as it is almost impossible to walk around my room with my kit set up, hehe....its soo worth it though....much better than having it in pieces on the ground. Breathing room is overrated anyways in my opinion.

Nice kit man it looks good. Nice set-up and beautiful pedals man. What are the specs on that thing.

[aznriceball]

i like the pedals. i cant think of anything else to say

[MeaninglessPhoto]

For some reason I thought you had a mirror chrome kit and a black one because something made either bass black in 2 pictures.

[PremierManiac]

Nice setup. Was that originally an Axis AL-2 double longboard?

[TheBennyP]

Holy mother of kremlins that snare is sweeeeeet!

Are misty chrome and Gunmetal metallic the same finish, but under a different name?

[puppet.master]

how you liking the snare

im asking for one for christmas

[Dummer'n'Drummer]

That drum is sexx! Nice!!!

[Drum Monkey]

how do you watch T.V.? :lol:

-DM

[Dummer'n'Drummer]

While he's playing drums of course..... :amaze:

[styler]

i dont like your setup...looks impossible to play your hi-hats or your crashes.

[mysticalyeti]

Leet pedals.

But you really need one of those bass -> hihat clamps to get those hats in closer.

[Brokensticks]

Nice set man, do you watch tv while you drum?

[Panopticon]

wow nice kit except for that entire roll of duct tape on your floor tom!!!...wow!...get that off there...pins and all that tape...geez...but those are some damn nice pedals...how much did the whole thing set you back? It's really nice...

[osiecki]

Too big for me, but still very nice.

[dumbassdrummer]

Nice. Not sure about the hi-hat placement, wouldn't work well with me going from double bass to hi-hat. But if it works for you, cool.

Good stuff man.

[TheBennyP]

Hahaha, well first off the Musashi snare is amazing.....i have mine tuned up pretty high and i get an Awesome crack, and ear shattering rim shots.

Secondly Misty Chrome and Gun Metal Metallic are different...i had to get the expansion toms in that color bacause i couldnt find anywhere that had the Misty Chrome ones...but the color is close enough for me, so im not complaining

Third....i have sacrificed watching T.V. to have my drums set up in my room....which in my opinion is a small price to pay becuase i dont watch much T.V. anyways. Otherwise i would have to keep them in a pile in the corner (nowhere else in my house that i could place em)....and that would suck.

as for the hi-hat placement...i agree it is quite odd looking but i dont use it that much, usually only to ride on, and when i do use it its easy enough to get to...at least it works for me, hehe.

And for the cost of this monstrosity, ive easily payed close to $3000 for everything ($500 for the pedals alone). but that wasnt in one shot....ive been putting this thing together for a year now, and Radioshack pay's me well :)

[aznriceball]

shame, hi hat shouldnt be limited to riding, especially if u have nice hats

[ian1988]

GOGOGOG ROCKSTARS :P how much was the bass drum?

[Double Bass Jim]

Nice very metal!

[Aaron]

fix your hat pedal angles.. other than that, nice

[Jezen]

fix your hat pedal angles.. other than that, nice

He can't really, unless he has a remote/legless stand.

[mysticalyeti]

Or a clamp... 20 bucks and it does the job.

[Gibsonrokr]

thats nice

[TTTSNB]

Thats sweet man, love the setup. Do you play open handed? Just try lowering and flattening your snare slightly, and move your kick beaters out, and your kit will be even more killer.

[TheBennyP]

GOGOGOG ROCKSTARS :P how much was the bass drum?

being as Tama discontinued the rockstar i had to get the second bass drum off ebay....to say the least i got lucky and won the bid for like $90....plus the drum had a trigger installed in it, so i think i made out pretty well in that respect.

[TheBennyP]

shame, hi hat shouldnt be limited to riding, especially if u have nice hats

well, i agree, hi-hats shouldnt just be used for riding....but with most of the music i play, there isnt much use for the hi-hat.....yes i know i could make a use for it, and i do sometimes....but just not all the time, lol. and i know the placement is odd, but to be honest it really isnt difficult to manage at all, i just shift my foot back a bit and step on the pedal.....my foot doesnt need to be straight on the pedal for the hi-hat to work, and thats why i have it set up as such. although i will say a bass drum clamp and new hi-hat stand would be useful.

[thenewguy515]

yeah i think u should angle ur bass drums out more but other then that it looks good. hail tama!

[periculosus]

how do you watch T.V.? :lol:

-DM

:lol: thats true. but other than that that is one hell of a kit and so it seems radioshack does pay well :thumb:

[ian1988]

Bloody hell thats a steal! Im looking for a 16' and a 13' for my Set of Rockstar customs so that i can change the toms to rocksize, or have them back to fusion or also join them all up to make a massive kit...Being all the way in NZ doesnt really help..>.<

[Talos]

That kit is cool

[blujelly]

looks pro kool man

[Double Bass Jim]

Looks good :cool:
