New Pedal and Setup...

[opethdw]

Hey guys, I haven't been around here for a while, but I want to know what you think about my new upgrades and setup. If you don't remember by the kit, I used to post as 'The Leper Messiah'. Just a new board name, same person. Well, here are the pictures, let me know what you think...

I'm sorry, Powers?

And I live in New York, on Long Island.

Powerglides, and I was thinking of The Leper Affinity, haha.

[opethdw]

Oh, yeah sorry didn't realize... yeah the pedals are Powerglides.

And nope, The Leper Messiah was my name, but I can see how you could make that mistake.

nice and clean setup. opeth pwns.

[opethdw]

They sure do, their my favorite band. Danny Carey is my favorite drummer though. Martin a close second.

What's that Sabian on the floor?

And also you might want to replace those pulse cymbals. I'm pretty sure they're crap.

Thank you Mr. Obvious...

I dig your setup. I love 4-piece kits with double-bass and yours is clean & laid out well.

nice pedals bro! very clean set-up too. I'm just wondering, what's your throne and how does it feel?

[opethdw]

Just a heads up, I live in a 2 family house so those Vic Firth mute pads you see never leave my drumset and cymbals. Therefore whether I'm rocking Pulse Cymbals, or professional cymbals, it won't make a difference.

Specs:
Sonor Force 505 Drumset
Toms: 12"x10", 16"x16"
Snare: 14"x5.5"
Bass Drum: 22"x16"

Cymbals:

Crash Setup:
Pulse 16" Crash
Sabian B8 18" Crash/Ride
Sabian B8 14" Top Hi-Hat

Ride:
Pulse 18" Crash/Ride

Hi-Hats:
Pulse 14" Hi-Hats

Hardware:
Tama Iron Cobra Powerglide Double Bass Pedal
Tama Iron Cobra Leverglide Hi-Hat Stand
Roc 'n Soc Nitro Throne
Sonor and PDP Cymbal Stands
Gibraltar Cymbal Attachment

Mutes:
Vic Firth Drum and Cymbal Mutes

Whoever asked, the cymbal on the floor is the bottom Sabian B8 hi-hat that matches the top hi-hat I'm currently using as a crash.

The throne is a Roc n' Soc Nitro Throne...

In my opinion, this is the best throne on the market. It's extremely comfortable, and the nitro system makes raising/lowering very easy.

thanks, I'll look more into it.

I live in Glen Cove. What about you?

[Marky_Mark]

Lynbrook...I was up there somewhat recently, looking at Web Institute, but Ha! I can't get into there if my life depended on it. Nice town though.

[Brokensticks]

Nice kit man, loving Sonor! Too bad for the sound off pads though :(

Yeah, I do wish I could play the drums un-muted, but muted is much better than not playing at all.
