hmm i was in the mood for somethng different today so i grabbed my bassdrum and moved it like 3 feet diagnally forwed to the right.

i used my slave pedal as my main pedal. I then put my toms onto a seperate stand and had them in their usual location but only 1" above my snare height and very flat. like a 5 degree angle. it was so comfortable and allowed me to have my cymbals lower and in better locations.

Also i grabbed an old 8" tom and tuned it as high as i could...added it just over my aux snare for a neat little sound.

i then put 2 of my 10" splashes together as hi hats on my spare hat stand and mounted them just inside my hanging floor tom. It is amazing how playing hi hats on your right can realy open up your playing.

This is a very interesting setup indeed. You got anything you tried recently??

If any of this is hard to read just say and i will reword it. and maybe add a little grammar.

It is amazing how playing hi hats on your right can realy open up your playing.It's amazing how playing hihats with your left hand... on your left... can really open up your playing, and still keep things uncluttered. Yay for open-handed playing.

Sounds like it's pretty sweet man. A pic would be awsome though.

I wanted to do something like that, like that i would use my slave pedal as a main pedal, but I don't have a stand for my toms so it doesnt really work. used my floortoms instead:)
did the splash thing also, but didn't work well for me, because the splashes are different sizes..
