Been drumming for about a year now, my Gretsch Energy kit is my first and only. Not the best but certainly not the worst by any means. It's got a great 22" kick! I've added to it a Ludwig 1974 Acrolite 14x4.5 snare, Ludwig Accent 10x8 rack tom, and a Ludwig Rocker 16x16 floor tom that I got for free off a buddy (not pictured is the Gretsch 12x8 rack tom, Gretsch 14x5.5 and Mapex 13x3.5 steel piccolo snare). I'm rocking some Zildjian ZHT cymbals and one A custom 16" fast crash. I've got it all on my Gibraltar rack. Trying to work a lot to save up, and hopefully join a band so that I can get money from gigs, because I would love to get some Zildjian K's.
I got all this down in my makeshift drum room in my basement. Which is basically just a small "room" cornered off by moving blankets, with carpet covered wood panes and a mattress in the corner. It's ghetto but it works for the most part.
I also got this sweet Sabian cymbal display rack off craigslist for only $50! Don't have the cymbals to fill it yet, but there is always time for that! You can never have enough cymbals!
I also can't wait to get my Pork Pie silver sparkle/zebra top round drum throne!
