Well this is my kit (so many things i want to improve with my equipment) and i havnt bought anything for it in a while but that will soon change when i spend my chrissie money. What suggestions do you guys have for improving my kit setup. I used to have the mid tom (13") as a floating floor tom but now i have the offset toms which i love!! BUT that crash gets in the way of the small tom on the left as you can see from the pictures. Ever since i changed to the offset toms i have tried everything (height n everything) to get the left crash in the right position so its comfortable but i cant. If i move the cymbal stand obviously the small tom gets affected but i love it there. Does anyone have this similar setup with their small tom clamped to a cymbal stand??? I would like to see some pictures if possible..

Here are the pics, the last 2 pics are from my old setup though...

So far i have come up with this;
1. Get a tom stand to hold the 12" so i can move the crash wherever i like!!but thats about it.

With my chrissie money i am gonna replace that disgusting bad sounding crash, get a double kick pedal, get new heads for my 13", get another crash for the right side and get a new throne!!

Screw this!!!...i have been toying with my setup for the last hour and i decided to stick with the original 4 piece setup (like in my avatar) with a few comfortable changes. Now all i have to get is a double kick and 2 new crashes with my chrissie money!! Cant wait!!

Four piece kits are always nice. The offset is sweet to one of my favs.

How are your Stagg's? I've got the same pack as you. My crash just got a crack in it the other day after nearly two years of playing. I'm surprised it held up for as long as it did. Do you love the sound as much as me?:D

Definitely i love the sound!!! Great value considering how much i payed. Lol my crash just got a crack in it the other day to!!! It still sounds okay though...did urs crack on the edge because mine cracked in the middle along those circular lines and it has grown to like...15cm now.. :(

EDIT: In my pics that isnt the Stagg Crash its some crappy one that came with my kit but it aint tooo bad.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Even though you have stick marks in other places, wouldn't it mean that the place it's worn out most is the place that has been hit the most? And wouldn't that be a good statement towards your accuracy?

Nice hi-hats also!
