I thought it was about time I posted a few pictures of my kit, especially since I've now given it a bit of a clean (it arrived in a bit of a state).
Here's the whole messy lot of it as it's currently set up.
Kick! 26x16!
Left hand side from behind the kit.
Right hand side. Excuse the blurry photo.
Aerial photo number one, illustrating the strange shape of the whole thing...
Aerial photo number two, illustrating how precariously I'm balanced on the throne to take this one!
So! What we have here are a rather mixed bag of things. Firstly, the mid-80s blue & olives, thus:
26x16 kick, maple, 6-ply (I think), chrome wrap with scratches, rusty bits, and corrosion
10x10, 12x12, 13x13, 14x14 toms, as above.
16x15 floor tom (converted from a rack tom), 4-ply (I think), modern Ludwig badge, circa early 90s. Chrome wrap, in slightly better condition than the others.
Snare is a 402, which I got new in 2005.
Stands are a mixed bag, those of you who like everything to match please look away now! The tom stands are rusty old 80s Ludwig ones with no wingnuts (so I need a spanner to adjust them)...one yamaha cymbal stand...two pearl ones...one mapex hihat stand...tama and pearl snare stands.
Cymbals, similar...
Paiste 200 14" hihats (extremely the worse for wear these days)
Paiste 400 20" power ride (just been replaced with a Paiste 400 22" ride)
Sabian AAXplosion 16" crash (also looking unhealthy)
Zyn 5 Star 16" crash
Heads are almost all old and in need of replacement. Ancient pinstripes and Ludwig rockers with silver dots on the reso side. Currently an emperor X on the snare. Only really new head is the kick, which is an Evans EQ2.
What a mess! Enjoy!
