This thread is a mess.
PEOPLE! As beautiful as Derek's kit is, I don't need to see the same 7 pictures of it posted 5 TIMES on the same page! When you quote picture posts, how about removing the pics from it? Or at least removing all but the first pic?
And it's 2009, and people STILL haven't figured out how to resize photos??? How about making them a reasonable size so they don't take so long to load, and so people don't have to scroll left and right, up and down to see the full pics? Yes, I am looking at the top of this page.
End rant.
My old kit that now belongs to a chuch.

My 81 Slingerlands

I set this up just after Christmas, and took it down shortly after. I am not a big kit kat. This was just an excercise in 80's wankery.

This is the Kit I had 4 years ago. Though it was scaled down shortly after this was taken and onlky once played in it's entirety, lol. Basically I used the 3 bass drums, 5 toms and 2 snares.
Pictured here, we have. 2, 22X30 kick drums, a 22X14 kick and a 28X14 Kick. 8 toms, 2 snares, an array of percussion and maybe 14 cymbals?
The other pic is one of my current sets, the 7 piece Gretsch.
Yamaha MCANs ( Embossed Silver lacquer ) with mostly Zild ACs & Ks...

Well, I don't consider it a monster (yet), but the accent snare on the pedal makes it 7.
I finally just pieced this kit together. I have had the snare for over 2 years, but finally saved enough money to buy the toms/kicks and have been slowly putting it all together....playing drums costs too much hehe
This custom kit is made by PRECISION DRUMS (out of new york)
Snare: 6X12
Toms: 8X12, 9X13, 10X14, 16X16
Kicks: 18X22
Nice. What are the specs and what rack are you using?
Holy smokes! Are washing tow full loads of whites in your bass drums?
View attachment 24961 I would never drag this kit on the road, but it's fun to put together.
I still have to paint mine
here's mine, but I don't consider it a monster
Here is mine. Old picture though. I have taken away the three roto toms on the right. moved the one black tom on the right to the left in between my first floor and second rack tom and cranked the tuning on it. Ive also added a bass drum and an additional snare on the right.
I guess my kit is fairly big.....
Cheers,
D.
Maybe it should be 8 pieces and up guys .....ya think?
HOLY MACKERAL!!!
Gotta have specs and details man.... what color are they going to be? I count 18 drums shells there, How many kicks? Thats sick man................ you're my hero!!!
Wow,
Everyone's kits are amazing, especially the DWs and the Sonors. Love 'em.
Here's a couple versions of my monster. Sort of lame by comparison but it's mine so...
not lame at all dude. really freakin sweet actually! is it a sonor? like your throne aswell. its a good idea. bet it helps you get around the kit easily too.
