I got roughly 400 from ebay money to spend. I was gonna get a second ride but.....no room! :lol:

Crashes, splashes, cowbell on a pedal, and a load of other awesomeness.

My recomendation, 2 12'' splashes with different qualities, 11 oriental splash, and 2 small splashes 6 and 8 inch. Some crashes too I guess.

Imma go shopping right now. I think I'll get one K Dark Crash and then a bunch of chinas and splashes.

Specs on request but....I don't really feel like putting them up at the moment.

Really I sold my 2 Z custom crashes and my Chad Smith sig snare.

I dont like your percussion placement though.

Get a K custom Crash, and an Iron Cobra Foot Drop Clutch high hat stand

Massik Kretal
03-17-2006, 11:03 PM
Nah the IC clutch not needed. It's like 100+ and it's just not worth it at the moment.

Bells! But the DX monster still has better accomodations (breathing room). MK monster is going to become claustrophobic!

Nice! The high toms are great

You gotta lose that hi-hat rod though!

he said he sold 2 crashes and a snare. plus a lot of the people on here have jobs:eek:.


sweet man but I really dont think you need two more chinas

as long as he thinks he can use 2 more chinas in his kit, it doesnt matter that you think.



and yeah, it could use some work with the setup.

Drum Monkey
03-18-2006, 09:35 AM
Wow that's like my exact future set-up :lol: Seven-piece, almost all of the cymbals are placed in the same spot, with a percussion rig, wow that's like my exact future set-up :p

Needless to say, :thumb:

Looking great TS. Can we have some before pics too.

And if you had to choose one of the tymp sets, which one?

Massik Kretal

I really don't get how people can afford stuff like that

Saved up. I got 400 from ebay I still have that. Then my Christmas money, birthday money, some saved money from change, and a present from my dad for my bday.

Sweet. What snare is that? And are those AAX Stage Crashes?

The snare is the stock Ludwig refinished and with new hardware. It sounds better then my Chad Smith, that's why I sold it. And its wood. :p

The crashes are AAX Studio and Dark crash both 16" but now they look very small...I'm gonna get some nice 18" K's or HHX's.

sweet man but I really dont think you need two more chinas

:lol: I'm getting 2 more! The 12 isnt really a china to me it's more of a splash. I use it in the sense.

Can we have some before pics too.

Of course you can. I'll post some of my setups....

nice try. you needed to really flatten out those toms though.

Okay.

Massik Kretal

Well no. lol The 8 inch is way to high to be flat. And it is comfortable this way or was comfortable since I have a new setup.

My toms were always angles like that and I never broke a stick or a head. And I don't get any wrist pains.

Massik Kretal

lol Alright...you should just come over and help I guess. Becuase I'm gonna change my setup also so the more help the merrier.

Massik Kretal

This setup is just to typical and stock.

Nope, no stretch, just a little cramped. I'm gonna change everything though. TTTSNB helped me out.

Mabey instead of having them straight to the left, put them more in front of your body that way you dont have to twist. Thats what I do with my higher drums.

Yeah I just need to reposition the rack. It's like a box now, I need it to be more round. Round = Good.
