After a day of watching vids of The Roots and realizing I need to work on my grooving, my set turned out like this...

Well, both look really nice, but I will say your new set up is more..... eye catching. The old one just seems alittle plain, no offense. But yeah the new set up should be much easier to groove on.

what sticks are those?? Thomas Langs??

Because having more items to use takes away from your ability to lay down a groove :rolleyes:

It's not that it's just that other drums make me less concentrated on grooving. On the current kit grooving is all you can basically do. And they're buddy rich sticks

I love the B Rich Sticks, well the sound on the snare they make! I just dont find them comfy! I shall buy a pair. I love that set up, I'm getting mine like that this week because My tom mount has broke and I'm waiting for a new one. Good to see changes! :)

Just because its there... it doesnt mean you HAVE to play it...

I dont know, i guess if thats what you need to do to force yourself, then whatever floats your boat lol.

[GhostGrooveMike]

whatever i find it wat more comfortable and thats what matters

[Chester]

I know, it doesnt like bother me that you changed your set, haha i dont really care, thats cool, i dont know, for me that wouldnt be a problem i guess tho, whatever, u just think differently than me.

Hey, you inspired me :) I just went and set up my kit, I put my 12" tom next tom my snare (to the left of it, have a crash and hats, no ride. And a floor tom. I havnt played ityet. But I will tomorow:) thanks!

It's true - I took away one tom once and everything I played I had never played before. It changes everything. Changing from a 5 to a 4 piece made a huge difference. Now Im looking into a 7 piece... MMM

[JIRONS]

?uestlove can jam a groove like no other.

[Plan B.]

No one's ever going to convince me that a 3 pc. feels the same as a 5.

Great set-up.

[Drum Monkey]

Ahmir ?uestlove Thompson. Yes he can groove. Nice new set-up, but like it's been said before, if you keep your new kit and not use everything all of the time it'll be much more convenient and your kit will be more versitile. Although new set-ups change feel, you can't do that by not using certain things.

Well, there IS Billy Martin.. ;).

[Sabian4015]

I like your set-up. But... I would change some things. No floor toms, and try no crash. So it's just hats, snare, bass, and ride. That makes it even better. Here's my " groove set-up " even though it's not have I described above...

That's as big as my normal setup...

Beautiful snare, ride and hats, I'm jealous.
