[isp_of_doom]

way ahead of you. I've had my dream kit in my mind for quite some time now... Heres the basic setup... I'll post back with more detail soon...

http://img234.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dwdreamyh3.jpg
Bass drums are 18x20
Cymbals: not too sure about. Currently I own
13" K/Z combo hi hats (early-mid 80's)
18" K Custom Ride (consider using this instead of a 22". My 18" has a lot more power and volume than most 22")
19" A Custom Crash
10" ZXT Splash
16" Stagg Crash
13" China (maybe world percussion?)

So I'd probably go with Zildjian... or Sabian.

Axis X Shortboards. best pedal in the world... none of that A longboard crap

[CasB]

Peace Paragon in Aqua Marine
22x18
10x8
12x9
16x14

13" or 14" Peace Hand hammered snare (and/or Bigdog snare)

Already got my dream cymbals:
Masterwork:
14" Resonant hihat
15" Resonant crash
16" Custom crash
16" Thalles crash
17" Resonant crash
22" Alesta ride

Aquarian heads, bigdog hardware, bigdog bags, Balbex sticks.

[Det_Nosnip]

I wouldn't really have a dream "setup" as much as I'd have a series of dream "setups."

[isp_of_doom]

I wouldn't really have a dream "setup" as much as I'd have a series of dream "setups."

I know what you mean... it depends on what you're playing. Ideally I'd love to have every drum size possible, in every wood possible, eveyy ply possible (you get the idea)... But I can't afford it. :(

For most things though, i like the kit in my above post.

[Det_Nosnip]

Makes sense. I'd like to have at least two kits in the end, though...mostly for different heads and beaters.

God damn phil! who do you think you are? Neil Pert?

I knew that was coming. I liked the idea before i even knew who peart was. Besides it'll be used for acousto-techno breakdowns and funky beats.

The whole kit is a fusion of modern and traditional. From the traditional routes of the K and HHX cymbals and the shells to the modern sounds of the roland pads and Meinl Gen X cymbal. Its all a fusion of cultures.

[NCDrummer]

Thanks man...the files are being extracted as i type but NOT as you read this...well maybe if you read right after i posted this but odds aren't in your favor...

Phil i like how the drum is centered with a bass on each side but Question:

how are you gonna turn around if you've got the snare inbetween your legs?

[fishbulb]

Peart does it somehow.

Somebody on PDF saw that you could easily add cymbals/drums if you wanted to. It's simple code that you can add. I might try it sometime.

ok so Drum Phil is peart, and SlimJim is portnoy... I'm waiting for a bozzio or donati "toms are elevated a meter above the kit" :p
Let's just say I'd kill several times over for Bozzio's kit.

:smash:

Heh, yeah, to be honest... Bozzio's would be my dream kit. It's not like I'd use it like he does, but I'd strip it and use it as, maybe, a 12 or 13 piece. Or six. All at once. With the help of five of my clones.

:smoke:

[Aaron]

I would find most of it unuseable. I mean, does he have a ride?

[NCDrummer]

drumaster- look at Berks post up there ^^^^^

Man i LOVE this kit builder...First one i've ever had! its so fun! i'm addin' so much **** man! its great!

:edit: whatcha'll think of my set-up? i've only played for 4 years so i'm not sure which is best but i love the cymbals

[NCDrummer]

Sammy that is seriously ****ed up! lol...i mean the way you had to use paint!

Drumaster- couple questions : how long have you played? the measurments for your toms seems pretty small...why'd you pick that? and why'd you pick i A Sweet Ride? i heard they arn'et that great....i'm jw man

[FockerTheLopper]

Noobs spend more time worrying about they're dream setting then accually being able to play it. If you have all the best drums you'll still sound pretty bad if you aren't able to play good.

[NCDrummer]

Focker- Dude first off are just showing what our dream kits would be if we could (or do) have'em. and besides i dunno about these other guys but i'm not a great drummer but i could sound ok if i had the set i wanted!....so HA! and i say once more: HA!

And?

[NCDrummer]

DrumPhil- another question how (if you had it) do you expect to get outta your drums? would you be hooked to a crane that picked you off the throne?

ok so Drum Phil is peart, and SlimJim is portnoy... I'm waiting for a bozzio or donati "toms are elevated a meter above the kit" :p
Let's just say I'd kill several times over for Bozzio's kit.
:smash:

I have some time to waste so here's the Bozzio kit(kid of)

Wow.. Why don'y you go OUTSIDE and get some fresh air? Cause that certainly took along time..

[pitchfork]

DrumPhil- another question how (if you had it) do you expect to get outta your drums? would you be hooked to a crane that picked you off the throne?
Chuck something to the side when you get out and put it back when you get back in (I can't remember what the pic looked like so I don't know if it would work exactly)

[Sean]

Wow.. Why don'y you go OUTSIDE and get some fresh air? Cause that certainly took along time..It wouldnt take that long, most of those are the same sizes. You just have to click add object a thousand times and move it with your mouse

[slim_jim147]

well to put all the cymbales and the pedales(the angles) take a few minutes(10-15)
Btw there is 2 red bass drum on the left and the right of the 2 other bass drum

[NCDrummer]

Whats with the ZXT's? i thought those sucked

[Jezen]

The kit I already have would be my dream kit, if I could fit in an auxilliary cable hi-hat for my right foot, and a pedal-mounted jamblock for my left foot.

[isp_of_doom]

bow2sean thats one of my fav kits. The most basic you can get while still using all limbs (well, suppose you could take the ride out)... but 2 piece can be so much fun.

Just looking at Tsukigans kit... he's building a floor that is a giant light bulb, he has a hi hat without any pedal, all cymbals are floating in space (I'd like that!), his BD pedal doesn't reach, and one of his toms has no legs...

(just thought I'd point that out :p

Slimjim, double it (except toms) and I think you'd be closer... do not underestimate the size of the beast.

[Quinto]

Your a dumbass. First off, learn to comprehend what you read. I never insulted noobs. I said that they shouldn't worry about they're "dream kit" they should worry about learning to play. You'll never be able to afford your dream kit. Thats why you get good as a player and get endorsed.

[sportsfan4427]

seeing that lefty kit was kinda weird at first...but then i remembered that left handed people play drums too

[MatthewMeredith]

Haha thanks guys, it really makes me feel good about my left-handed-ness. It's wierd though, because I'm kind of a switch between left and right. I write right handed, play golf right handed, play hockey left handed, and play soccer left footed..... Playing drums lefty sucks big time for playing jams with other bands though. That's when I bring my djembe :thumb:

Ok so I made a photobucket account... Here are the pics again, hopefully at a reasonable size.

I know, its such a generic question but why not? besides i just found out my dream drum set (well not DREAM more of insanely cool set up that actually could happen if i saved and had a full time paying job and wasn't 14) would cost around $4000...here's the specs:

Pearl Masters MMX Custom Maple 4-Piece Shell Pack Diamond Burst - $2,279.99

Already own one, but I payed $8,000 for mine, and got the virgil donatai snare. much better.... i'll just stop.

I'll have this kit done pretty soon. I'm retiring from the whole local metal scene (with the exception of occasional jams and maybe shows) and I'm hunkering down and working on all the stuff I've never had time for. This is the kit I should have by next month. My new jobs pretty good.

Not sure on the drums yet, still wondering what level to go with. There's a Catalina Club, Renown Maple, and a DW at my local shop that have these dimensions (depths of toms not sure on). Lots of choices! I've started looking into DW edge snares if I can find one used, but I've only heard them recorded pro and that's not 100 percent. Sorry to be boring and not have a crazy dream kit, but after a few months of looking around I'm really happy that I'll have this kit soon. Something small I can carry wherever I need to. :)

Cymbals

14" K Custom Dark Hats?
20" K Custom Dark Ride (Amazing for crashing)
17" K Custom Dark Crash
19" Wuhan China

I did'nt pick all those K custom Darks on purpose. Originally just the ride, I've liked that for quite some time. But I really liked that crash last time I was testing 'em out. The hats are still debatable, I might go 13". Still haven't decided, that's gonna be the last purchase, as I still need to think.

I use an Iron Cobra pedal and would like to get a new hi-hat pedal. Probably another 'Cobra as everything I've read says those pedals are indestructable. Also my throne is getting near the end of it's life, diggin' those cool thrones like the one in the pic I posted.
