Awesome, can't wait till I get my acoustic kit, and those bongo's look mad. Are you going to seriously get into bongoing?

[440561]

Probly not much. But I may make a way to put them on a stand and play them like Octobands ;) Or something along those lines!

[Snarz]

This isn't getting many replies, maybe its the name. I should have just said: Here's my kit, like everyone else.

My stand is broken so that's the flattest I can get it. So with my birthday money I will get a new, better one.

[Seafroggys]

your crash is insanely high

[440561]

No, they aren't, that's just how it looks in the picture.

[_Austin_]

Id flatten out your crashes, your gunna wreck your wrists if they stay like that!

Also the toms could do with moving a bit closer together.

Apart from that everything looks good!

[440561]

Thanks for the advice. The only reason they are at that angle is so that I can actually hear something because of them being muffled. When I play without pads they are flatter.

[ZeppaMusic]

really it comes down to personal touch, just play it how u like it

nice kit, like the bongos, stack em up there somehow ;)

[Talos]

You should get some new skins. Stagg skins are probably very low quality. Everything else is pretty good though.

[440561]

Yeah, Ill work through the kit with new heads: snare first then tom etc.

[Panopticon]

try and get those toms in closer together, it'll be much easier to move around the kit.

[440561]

Ok soon ill take some more pics, my kit has now changed again! hopefully I will find it easier now. Im just going to add the other cymbal to show what it will look like when I play it at band practice-minus the pads.

[Loser]

Speaking of snare stands, do any of the stands out there work in a way where it is possible to have the snare at any possible angle? The ones I have seen seem to "lock in" at specific intervals. Though the difference is usually small, I am forever annoyed by this.

[440561]

Im not sure, there are stands which look like they have two parts to them. I can't explain :D ill edit a link to what I mean.

Here is the recent version of my drums!

when i played on a 5-pc i had my snare angled sorta like that, i always thought it was more comfortable...

[440561]

Its only a four piece now. What do you think about the new set-up?

[440561]

bump?
