I built this custom kit on Drum Workshop.com and I imported cymbals from my old drumset. As well as my DW9000 double bass pedal :)

Zildjian A Customs!

What do you think?

It's not that new btw. I've had it for 2 months :p

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Set up looks a bit funny to me but its pretty cool

[Bread and Faxes]

I find it pretty easy to work with. I mean, my ride sits in the middle so my arms are within reach of every drum and cymbal.

Except my China. I need to reposition that haha.

[stevensonmat2]

I'm sure that set up works well for you, but I guarantee that if you set it up properly it would feel even better. I went through many set ups, and they all felt fine, but then I finally set it up in a traditional way and it was incredibly comfortable.

[Bread and Faxes]

Well my old set was traditional. But I like this.

[LoneStarDrummer]

nice kit, however i find every last bit of that set up to be completely horrendous. especially the whole sitting backwards thing. that part makes no sense.

also you have about a $300 tom just sitting on the floor.

[Bread and Faxes]

Haha, well That tom I feel is not needed

[Drum Phil]

Yeah i agree. Nice kit, horrific setup.

[spirit]

Yeah i agree. Nice kit, horrific setup.

Same here.

Except the kit doesn't really run to my tastes. That said, I can hardly deny it's a good kit.

[Bread and Faxes]

well I like it that way.

I guess it's all preference.

[Drum Phil]

I used to think that.

Preference doesnt necassarily make it efficient to play.

[Panopticon]

sweet kit...but why did you get a DW if you just started playing?


i want it.

[stevensonmat2]

This. Setting your kit up efficiently is the most comfortable/sensible thing to do.

I remember when I posted my new kit everyone was like "nice kit, awful set up", and I thought screw you guys it feels fine to me. Little did I know, I was doing it so wrong, and I'm so much happier that I'm doing it right now.

[sweet_nothings]

Clean your room.

Beautiful kit.

[Harrow]

KAFDJSDJDSFK I really do envy people with a lot of money and little drumming experience being able to afford a DW kit and not set it up properly >_< Not hating on you or anything, this is just jealousy :) Make sure you treat it nice, you will regret it later on if you beat the hell out of it now. Also, I think having those 2 larger toms as floaters instead of floor toms is a HUGE mistake, but that is part of my personal preference.

[Little Android Man]

the lugs/hardware make it look like a pdp.. looks cheap imo but im sure it sounds great. cymbals look a little high for me but whatever.

nice.

I really saved up for that man. Like, 2 summers of steady working 2 jobs.

I mean, I've been playing for 5 months seriously. So I figure, why spend money on getting 400 drumsets before I get the one of my dreams and actually save up and just get the one I want the most.

[Bread and Faxes]

Clean your room.

Beautiful kit.

Thats my bands practice space behind my house lol

[Mike Goes Numb]

Wonderful kit, but seriously, take everyone's advice here and re-set it up.

[Aaron]

Nice gear! Hope you're feeling okay, mate.

[Bread and Faxes]

yessir, I'm feeling alright now. But I fear that through my chemo process, I won't be able to play..:(

[spirit]

I think I may have missed something...

[Bread and Faxes]

I have colon cancer and started chemo yesterday.

[Mr Pink]

I have colon cancer and started chemo yesterday.

Depends on how aggressive a chemo cocktail they make for you. I was able to play up until my sixth treatment. Then started up again about 4 weeks after chemo was over.

[Bread and Faxes]

So you had 6 treatments? That's not that bad. I have one treatment every week. I don't know how brutal it is, because they said my first time that I would probably throw up and feel nauseas.

[spirit]

Sorry to hear about that. You seem to be taking it pretty well though.

[stevensonmat2]

hes faking

Oh really? But I can trust you?

It's the internet. If I actually tried to analyse everything I read here, I wouldn't leave this spot. I have to take everything at face value until proven otherwise.

No. I had 10 but I was only "down" drum wise for the last 4.

im joking fella

Thus proving my point.

I do enjoy being right.

[mustang-monk]

is that a south park reference.

[Bread and Faxes]

ya it's all good. But I'm glad you guys like the set haha. I'll set it up traditionally tomorrow and see how it feels. I'm too drained today to do anything.

[Aaron]

I'll pray it all works out bra.

[Mr Pink]

Hang tough. I made it through OK at 48 years old....and I'm diabetic to boot.
Getting as much rest as you can helps a lot.

[LoneStarDrummer]

good luck with all the chemo. at least you have a bad *** kit to look forward to playing once your energy levels are back.

having something to look forward to is always a good way to keep your spirits up.

[sweet_nothings]

Man, sorry to hear you're going through chemo and all. I'll be praying you get better soon, eh.

Don't strain yourself - that's pretty much the number one way to undo any healing the chemo is doing and make things a lot worse.

[Bread and Faxes]

It's all good guys. Thanks for your thoughts.

[dairyairman]

colon cancer! holy cripes! i hope you get through whatever awaits you without too much suffering.

awesome kit, btw. i would love to have something like that. i would probably set it up a little differently though. here's what i'd do if it were mine.

- raise the snare. the batter head looks like it's level with the throne. i like it so the batter head is just above the top of my legs (so i can hit rimshots!)
- put the small tom back on, raise the stand a bit and move the stand closer to the bass drum so the rack toms are more over the bass drum instead of way off to the far left.
- lower the crash cymbal on the right.
- move the china to the left a little
- raise the floor toms so they're the same height as the snare

but if you're happy with it the way it is, then leave it alone.
