[Meridian91]

Hey all... Well this is a quick update.. I posted my kit last time with only a 4 piece set up...

this is the old thread if you wish to catch up....

Updates since last time:

ride and 18" crash on rack...

new 12 tom and 8 tom on...

16 china is up.. (wuhan)

Specs:

on request I spose... You should be able to work it out

On order still:

two more gretsch tom arms... (They are better... to add the tom 12" to the rack and not sitting on a stand.. I will put it on)

gibraltar curved side extension (44 inch) ((put the china and hhx evo on the rack... and the 12" tom properly...))

love the kit, hate the way the cymbals are setup and the spacing, nice though man.

[aznriceball]

i <3 sooo much, it was what i was shootin for when i Ref'd my kit. awesome cymbal setup!

[Aaron]

I likey, except i dont like the china up high in front, i'd put that over your hats for open-handed hits.

[Banshee]

Nice kit.
You like AAx's by any chance "Me-Ri-Di-An".
I also agree with the above post.

[Aaron]

[Futuro]

Looks great! Heck of a nice kit.

[Meridian91]

[Banshee]

Get a trashformer. Some people don't like them, but i do.

[Meridian91]

I am gonna stick with my old catalina snare until I buy a good aux

[theflame85]

Love it mate, The way your cymbals are setup kicks hard arse.

[Kainen]

mmm man. gretsch makes some sexy instruments.

[GhostNote]

Zil-bel? maybe?

[knie]

Wow really nice cymbals and set up, though I would move the 12 tom a bit closer to the ten.

[Meridian91]

do you remember me from drumpower.com.au forums theflame?? lol..

gretsch109 ring a bell...

zilbels?? what sizes they come in

[Meridian91]

Wow really nice cymbals and set up, though I would move the 12 tom a bit closer to the ten.

Thanks for pointing that out.. I just realized I am like over 6 foot 2 so I have huge arms for a drummer i spose.. I will definately try moving it closer to the 10...

Im unsure.. maybe the tom arm wouldnt let it go that close.. neway ty :)

[knie]

No problem man, just seemed to me a bit hard to roll around the kit with that gap, haha.

[Meridian91]

lol yer i really wanna go change it.. but its cold...

lol

[Aaron]

do a home-job effect cymbal; second-hand EH bottom hi-hat, put about 30 rivets in it.

[Meridian91]

Know im sad I sold my hats...

I was thinking this for my next cymbals after some other things:

9.5 inch zilbel... (OMG I AM STOPPING TO WHORE SABINA.. IM SCARED)

maybe a trashformer for fun..

hhx evo splash 10"

aa china splash

:)

[kyle_ashbourne]

thats a sweet setup... the cymbals are a little spacy though, thats all i can say.

[Chester]

Wicked nice set, id prolly set it up a lot different, but thats cool.

[Meridian91]

Yeh I guess they kinda are spacey... But when its all done I dont think there will be so much space

ty for good comments

[drummerty]
