what I already have

[Undisco Kidd]

Why would you need both the heritage AND jazz brush? It's the exact same thing, but a different handle. You either like one or the other more. They aren't made for different things.

[Brokensticks]

Looks pretty awesome. I pretty much have my kit.

[Josiah]

Looks pretty awesome. I pretty much have my kit.

*nods*

[White Riot!]

I just want to add a 18 x 16" Kick.

Not sure if its Yamaha Maple or Gretsch USA though

[Undisco Kidd]

Mmm 18'' bassdrums.

Anything bigger than 20 is too big.

[goalieman92]

that's what I'm going towards. all I need are new heads, new bass pedal, and the cymbals and I'm set. If you don't know what the cymbals I'm getting are or anything. just ask me or somethin.

What program is that, link?

[Drum Phil]

Kit constructor.

[goalieman92]

and I don't got a link

[Static]

Stop making these damn threads, Jesus.

oh. and to carve that snare out of walnut.Is there a new version out or something? My version doesn't have any Saluda cymbals.

[goalieman92]

[Little Android Man]

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r128/sportzfan1307/setup2pic.png

this is what i am working twords the next year - year and a half.

[drummguy731]

Tour Custom in Sakura White.

My Hybrids instead of the hats and ride in the pic. And yes, I'm looking into replacing my 16" A Custom Fast Crash with an 18" K.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h177/jimboman555/tourcustom.png

[GooseFilms.net]

I'm pretty satisfied with my Starclassics and cymbal setup. I almost bought a 2nd bass drum last month, but decided I should hold off on all drum purchases until I know where I'm going to college.

[drummguy731]

What's the link to the new one?

[Sabian4015]

I wish I could make screenshots on my Mac...=(

[Mirror.Circuit]

you can actually.
do a search for it in finder help.
there's a key shortcut and everything.

[Sabian4015]

Oh rly??

Ok well I figured it out. It's the program called Grab. But... I can't figure out how to save it with the right extension. It saves it under .tiff and not .jpg or any valid link that will work on photobucket.

[Mirror.Circuit]

open the .tiff in preview,and save it as a .jpg.

[Sabian4015]

You cannot save this document with extension ".jpg" at the end of the name. The required extension is ".tiff". -mac pwning me once again ..:mad: ..

[Mirror.Circuit]

you don't put a .jpg at the end of the file name.
you can choose the file type if you choose "save as".
there is where you choose .jpg as the file type.

[Seafroggys]

another one of these threads? We seem to have a new one two days after one is off the second page.

My cymbal line up is pretty much as I want it. I'm happy drumwise, though when I have money for some Sonor Designers, yeah :thumb:

I had the heritage brushes and I wanted some thicker gauge wire so I found the jazz brushes...plus the heritage ones are old...someone game me the rakes.

Nice... you play rock mostly, am I right :)?

24" bass is the way to go :thumb:

[Ollie The Drumming Legend]

How can you find the program that you can use to make those pics of dream kits>>??

[Pearldrumguy]

It's called kit constructor. I personally like using the dw one off the dw web site http://dwdrums.com

Kit constructor II
http://mitglied.lycos.de/Gerulat/DD/Test.html

just one of the download links. I'm sorry the sites in another language. I suggest using the site mega upload site to download from. It is the easiest I think.

[Mr. Grill]

Nice... you play rock mostly, am I right :)?

24" bass is the way to go :thumb:
Yes, mostly progressive metal and a lot of death metal (although I do dabble in funk.)

[Ollie The Drumming Legend]

Ah cool. I always expected metal drummers to have really bright cymbals (xplosions.....)

nice though, 14" K hats are the way to go. My friend's selling his for something like £135, but I already have other nice hats though and don't want to buy unnecessary cymbalage

I'm about to work out how to make my lil diagram thingy......

[drummguy731]

Ok, so I downloaded it, but it says that java is not recognised?

[MatthewMeredith]

Here's mine... Two possible setups, one on each kit builder :thumb:

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k46/MatthewMeredith/NextSet1.jpg

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k46/MatthewMeredith/NextSet.jpg

In each, the hi-hats are remote. Specs are in the second picture.

I dont like Iron Cobras. So I dont like you. Actually I do and if I could repp you I would, cool set up to.

GIMMEE LINK.

[440561]

Im always looking for unique set-ups, thus the reason i come to these threads. But everytime I come up with something... I always change back to 1 tom up, 1 tom down. Its annoying cos I want something a bit more unique... but that set-up, or the basis of that set-up is all round the best one (for me-and probably a lot other)

[drummguy731]

Ok, my PC is being a bitch. Can someone list the steps they did for getting the KC 2. Thanks.

[Ollie The Drumming Legend]

The pic wont appear for mine (post #41) :upset:
edit: fixed, taek a look

btw it was done v quickly so i might change a load of stuff on it if i have a few bored minutes sometime later

[maniac0796]

gotta put at the beginning and at the end of the address.

[Pearldrumguy]

When i made my setup i never really looked at it or others I just did it then I realized it....I started with 4 up 1 down then moved it to 3 up 2 down and love it that way.

[440561]

Ive gone back to my 4 piece now. But Im working on a shopping list. I'll edit that into this post later :P

Here's what I have now:
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j247/drummerboi_sam/Now.jpg

Heres what I hope to end up with:
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j247/drummerboi_sam/Next.jpg

1. 8" head-I already have an 8" drum but it has a mesh head on it, so I wanna get a proper head and see what it sounds like.

2. China-This or upgrade one of my other cymbals

3. Keyboard-Already have one but it's not set-up in that position, mainly cos of lack of space at the moment.

4. 2nd Snare Drum-I want one to the left of my hi-hat, not sure about which one I want yet.
