Show Me Your "Monster" Kits! (let's say... 7 piece and up)

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.

I swear, I would laugh SO HARD if someone quoted every single post on this thread, and as a response said "sweet."
 
My old kit that now belongs to a chuch.

A church??? I guess it's a very contemporary church then for a kit so big. Most church kits I've seen are 4-5 pieces with 3-5 cymbals.

Here once again is wankasaurus rex.





these are my two combined kits. Specs are 24x16, 18x16, 12x8, 13x9,14x14,15x13,16x16, 14x6 maple, and 14x6 edge snares.

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.....

thanks. No it's a PDP.
 
Derek, that's one hell of a nice kit man. German engineered for sonic destruction!!
Your videos on youtube are great too man.
 
Might as well add the "desert storm" kit whilst i'm here...

Really this was just a bit of fun :) I've taken out the 13 and the left side 16" floor and i'll probably stick some smaller drums left side of the 12" rack tom (which will have our favourite fabric on them!) as these are easier to mount without being ridiculous. I also have to get a beater for the 22 on the left. That or make it into a gong drum.
 
I wish I had a monster kit. Thats one dream of mine. They're just so expensive!!! But here is Carter Beauford's set.(and to you uneducated folks out there, he is the drummer for Dave Matthews Band)
