Your second kit

[Drum Monkey]

After seeing numerous pictures of We_Love_Lime's kit, small and fun, I got some inspiration. This was long ago. I've decided now to make a thread of it :wave:

If I were to have a second kit (would not happen, seeing as I am currently working on making the best of my first, although fun to think about) what would it be? There are some here (DBJ, TTTSNB, others) who already have one, although for those of you who don't, it's fun to think about.

I'd want a small kit, a 4 piece which I would convert to a 3 piece sometimes. It would most likely be a Pearl Rhythm Traveler. A small and compact kit that I could have fun on.

http://i3.tinypic.com/vrg586.jpg

I would use four of the five drums:
8x20" bass
5x13" snare
5x10" tom
5x14" tom

I would give back the bass drum it's purity by making it a virgin and have the 10" tom mounted elsewhere. I would of course refinish the whole kit. For cymbals, I'd have:
12" trash hats (2 splashes)
14" crash
18" crash/ride

This would be a fun kit to mess around on and have as a second kit. Also, all of the refinishing and changes I would make would turn this into a fun project.

So if you were to have a second kit (or third, or fourth) to mess around and have fun on, what would it be?

[super_kick08]

At the expence of sounding like a noob, what does a 'virgin bass drum' mean. I've heard it before just never knew. '

To add to the thread. I'd probably get the Gretsch Catalina Club kit. Or maybe the same consept with the rhythm travler, but i'd add a little bit of pecussion such as timbales. I'd also want a bigger bass drum. Not diamater but depth.

[440561]

I think it means no toms attatched to it.

[TerranCmdr]

It means no tom mounts whatsoever.

[Kainen]

i'm a jerk, i have 2 1/2 kits =p

[sweet_nothings]

i'm a jerk, i have 2 1/2 kits =p

Yes, you are a jerk... :p

I'd get a dw kit and turn my current kit into my secondary one ><

For some reason I just really love dw. They're so pretty.

[mysticalyeti]

ODERY.

Yeah. A lovely Odery with wood hoops and one of their sexy brushed hardware finishes.

And a stave kit too.

>_>

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

I'd have a 4 piece "jazz" kit. 16x18 bass, 10 and 14 toms and a 13" snare, finished in some sort of exotic vener. For cymbals I'd have a 22" K constantinople(sp) ride, some Bosphorus/Turkish crashes and K custom dark hats.

[Aaron]

I too would go the scaled down jazz-kit:
Yamaha Beech Absolute with Nouveau Lugs
18x15" Bass Drum
7x12" Snare
10x14" Floor Tom

15" K Hats
22" K Heavy
20" K Crash-Ride

[Drum Phil]

I have plans for my second kit already.

DDrum Diode, Dominator Sizes, in teh purple colour.

26x16 Bass
14x10 Rack
16x16 Floor
18x18 Floor

Cymbals:
14" K/rude Darkedge Hats
20" Zildjian Oriental crash of doom
22" K Heavy ride
22" Custom vault crash

[ant_182]

Well I have two kits at the minute. But my beginers one is what I'm refinishing. I plan on keeping that at my mates place when we get the "Band Room" built.

I just need cymbals. I think I'll sort my kit out with my own. And give him my ZXTs :lol:

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

22" Custom vault crash
Sabian make 22" vault crashes? Or will it be a custom order?

[theflame85]

my second kits currently being made up for me. I've already got the 10x9 and 16x14 toms, i'm ordering the 20x17 bass drum tomorrow actually.

their Yamaha stage custom advantages, in marina green.

i really love green kits. the point of getting this was to use for gigging, as my rockstar custom kit is just too huge to move anywhere.

[Drum Phil]

Sabian make 22" vault crashes? Or will it be a custom order?

Considering its a 22" Custom vault crash, im led to beleive it will be a custom order

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

and thats what I get for not reading thigns properally.

[Drum Phil]

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

Yeah I think I noticed :)

[theflame85]

You KNOW it.

[Drum Monkey]

There's some nice kits listed here... Anyone know anything about their finishes?

I would see if this particular finish, or something like it, would work on the Rhythm Travelers:

http://i3.tinypic.com/vwq24x.jpg

-DM

[White Riot!]

thats a satin white with a silly inlay

[Drum Monkey]

thats a satin white with a silly inlay
Yes but the inlay is in the center of the drum, which is covered by the lugs on the Rhythm Traveler because their depth is only 5". Would have to see if it looks good before you permanently give it an inlay. Although, if you don't like inlays, you won't like it :p

-DM

[Snarz]

I think that was one of TAMA's anniversery drumsets so I don't think they make them anymore im not sure.But ya I think it is a Satin White with sorda like a pearl stripe.

[White Riot!]

its a silly finish

[Drum Monkey]

I like it... Think it looks classy.

Also, I'm not too worried whether I can get my hands on that particular Tama kit or not because I'd only duplicate the finish, if I had plans to actually buy a second kit, which I don't :p

It's actually a Starclassic Bubigna set with a finish called White Pearl with Diamond Inlay.

Something along the lines of those...i'll go into more detail later.

[TTTSNB]

After I get a nicer main kit, not counting the jazz kit, I'd like to get a huge Bonham sized kit, 14x10, 16x16, 18x18, 26x16, 14x6.5 snare.

[Drum Phil]

TTTSNB, DDrum Diode. In dominator sizes.

[Chippy569]

while y'all are fantasizing, my 2nd kit is being built...

[TTTSNB]

[Chippy569]

^ high. very high.

[TTTSNB]

^ high. very high.
Hmm...sweet.

[pitchfork]

Well my current kit is my second, mapex m birch - rock sizes in natural gloss.
I'm currently in love with it but i suppose if i was to get another kit it would be a vintage premier with vinage avedis cymbals (14" hats, 16" and 18" crashes and 20" ride) and then a fourth:
Mapex orion
22x16 bass (main, double iron cobra pedal)
16x18 bass (aux bass, axis A longboard single)
10,12,14,16 and 18 inch toms
13x3.5 brass piccolo aux snare
14x6.5 cherrywood snare
Can't decide on cymbals

5th would be a premier pictures of lily kit, how sexy that thing is.

[aznriceball]

id go rhythm traveler, but refinished and with some wuhans :)

[Drum Phil]

You realise he means an Aux kit dont you

EDIT: To BitchPork

[Parradiddle Pete]

I'd have my Paragon as a second kit and make myself a stave kit, probably Oak 10", 12" Rack Toms 14" and 16" Floor toms with a nice 22"x16 or 18" main bass and then a little 18"x18" aswell. My current snare along with a 15"x6" or something stupid like that bubinga and an 8"x5.5" Maple or acrylic. Probably also some Octos and Rotos, Cymbals would be AAX: fusion hats, Stage ride, couple Plosion Crashes (or Vaults) treme chinese x 2 mini chinese and some aux hats, maybe 2 large splashes or something. Pedal would be a single Elim With Red cam (strap) and th hat stand would be an elim too.

[Drum Monkey]

Wow Pete, that'd be a fun project!

Of course, you can't forget the Wuhan cymbals azn! :lol: They would definitely be a contestant for my cymbals if I were to have a second kit...

[Drum Monkey]

Well, it's official. I have a second kit! :lol:

Which one is your second? Your blue Premier being the first...

A practice pad kit would be awesome, I think I'll build one when I go away to U.

-DM

[the fat llama]

3x12 piccollo snare, 8,10,12 roto toms, 4 cowbells 2 glocks 7,9,11 splashes, 18x20 and 16x22 bass drums.......

oh yum

For reference (and to whore)

The Premier was the second kit I bought. The first was an Ashton (Australian) TPF520 (I think), also in blue. It was just normal blue though, not a cool abalony pearly design thing like my Prems.

The practice pad kit I still have to order. I'm getting the DW practice kit, because it makes the most sense to me. Actually I could order it right now..

EDIT: Here's the kit I bought first. This is just a website example though, and mine is blue. I still have the kit in Australia, and sooner or later it will be shipped over here because we sold our house in Australia.

[ludvista29]

I'm going to buy a yamaha maple custom noveau as my main kit, and A pearl reference as my second

No your not.

You're going to wish you are.

But you're not ;)

[TTTSNB]

Ahh...now I've thought of a sweet second kit. 10,12,14,16,18 roto toms, 26x16, 22x18, 20x18 kicks, and 6x3, 8x4 mini timbales over the hihat. Then, a second kit behind me with 18x18, 16x16 kicks, and 10x6, 12x7, 14x8 toms, and 3 electronic pads and a kick trigger hooked up to an electronic brain.

[Zildjian]

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b89/Zildjian242/DSCF2533.jpg

there's my second (actually first) kit. Its in my friends basement but Its unplayable know. I got to put on the aquarians and get good stands and all-right cymbals, it will be okay when i'm done with it. Its my project after I "finish" my tama. Im also thinking about refinishing it, but that kind debating to put some effort into it because it will be in my friends house and that not my main kit

[Drum Monkey]

Cool ideas here! Nice sets and thanks for the explanation BB.

-DM

[VTDS_xx]

Once I finish expanding and making my first get complete...
Getting an 8x7 rack tom and 16x14 mounted floor tom.
PDP SX Wood Hoop Snare 14x5.5
Sabian AAX Stage Hats 14"
Meinl MB20 Power Bell Ride 22"
Meinl Soundcaster Custom China 18"
Sabian AAX Splash 8"
Tama Iron Cobra Flexi-Glide Twin Pedal

I'm going to start work on a secondary kit to suit my other, mellower side of drumming.
Specs for 2ND Kit:
PDP FXR Birch (22, 12, 14, 16)
PDP SX Piccolo Snare (4x14)
Meinl Byzance Medium Hats 13"
Meinl Byzance Medium Ride 21"
Meinl Byzance Medium Thin Crash 17"
Meinl Byzance Splash 8", 10"
Meinl Byzance China 16"
Then get some Hot Rods and slap some Coated G1's on their and have at it. :)

[White]

right now Im building a second practice kit, Im taking two old old tom drums and cutting them in half and im gonna use the reso sides ase toms (but change it to mesh heads) and use the batter sides as bass and snare (Mesh heads) jsut so i can practice silently and get a good feel.

[InCasinoOut]

http://www.ddrum.com/ddrum_new_2006/images/ash_pocket.jpg
Yeah, it's pretty damn close to my current kit, but the 20x20 kick and 13x7 snare really would make it an awesome kit for playing in the pocket. Darker cymbals for it, compared to my AAXs and A Custom would make it awesome.

edit: uhhhhh... for reference as to how close the DDrum is to my kit:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/MicMak/AAX001.jpg
I really do want to add the 10" tom and I would normally have two snares up though.
