Show off your Yamahas!

This is my basic setup (Maple Custom Absolute). I also have an 8 x 7 tom, SPD-S, side snare, tambourine, and a couple more cymbals. (sorry for the oddly placed carpets. I had to move everything forward to clear a projection screen after the carpets were already in place)

Hi everyone! Here is my Yamaha kit. It is the Rydeen series, so nothing fancy. I need new skins badly, and I am getting new hi-hats for Christmas. I also have a new Sabian 15" HHX X-Plosion Crash on the way as a result of the 'Buy a Ride, Get a Crash' promotion. Toms are 10", 12" and 14". Current cymbals are 14"Pearl CX hats, 16" Pearl CX Crash, 20" Sabian AAX Studio Ride and 16" Sabian B8Pro Rock Crash.

Yamahaha, your cymbals are blindingly clean.

You caught me on a good day! Groove Juice is the best and works especially well on shiny cymbals like the ozone. Discovering this product almost erased all those bad memories from high school using that messy paste cymbal cleaner messing up my mom's nice towels!
 
Hey all, here's a little update on the "new" setup (same drums, different layout). I resisted the "offset tom" thing for a long time but finally took the time to move things around and now I love it!

I love the off-set tom idea! Your drums look beautiful - are they Maple Customs? Absolutes?
How do you like them? I have the original MCs - they record nicely but a little too heavy to carry around on gigs IMO.
 
posted this on another thread, so i hope this isn't overposting. :) love these drums, 20th anniversary recording customs, there's another rack tom but i use different configurations for different projects. they tune so easily and stay there. nice thread, very cool kits have been posted.

I have this same set (sizes) of the SCB-I have had a problem with the 10' tom.When I hold it by the rim it resonates perfect but when I place it on the mount it chokes. Have you had this problem and what head combination are you using? Nice set!!
