I think a 4 cymbal/4 drum setup is probably my favorite setup right now. Here's the setup I played out all last weekend:
That rack tom is pretty far over to the right. How high is it, compared to your snare?
Also, what are the Paiste hats you're using?
Nice set-up, by the way!
Looks great, it's very much like mine except I have one more cymbal that I never use. How about some juicy details there? Sizes? What types of cymbals do you have there?
I tried that setup (tom to far right over bass) a while ago after seeing Greg Eklund and Tre' Cool do something similar. I liked it but the tom scratched the crap out of my bass, so I had to quit. Cool setup man, I'm digging that ride too.
... the drum set is a Tama Imperialstar. Its actually not even mine, its the band's. Its a 22x20 bass, 16x16 floor, and I believe thats a 12x10 rack tom.
I am likely making the switch to this setup. I think by next week I will drop 1 rack tom and eventually the other floor tom. I just don't really use them that much. Pretty much only because they are there...
If it's the currently released Imperialstar (the successor of Swingstar), the kick shoud be 22x18 and the tom 12x9. If it's the discontinued Imperialstar from the 1980's, the kick should be 22x14 and the tom 12x8. But the tom holder shows it's the new version.
