Ok here we go..........

DW Exotic, Olive Ash Burl , Candy black to regal blue fade (picture shows regal black burst) this would be a custom job. Collectors maple, all Built in Bottom.

Some notes:
Cymbals are all variants of Saludas ....different series, different sizes, etc, etc....

Look at the kit like this:
Main Kit: 6 piece, 2 up , 2 down
Jazz Kit: 4 piece
Short stacks: Well......instead of putting small toms up to the left, ala Neil Peart and others,...why not put them in a more reachable/playable position? They are short stacks so they'll sit low against the floor toms and you can still get your ride and other cymbals in tight without having to go too high.



the 10-13 combo and the 15-18 floor combo ....I figured that those sizes would give a wider tuning range than a 14-16.

Snares: 5x14 Collectors, 7x14 Edge .....any other questions, let me know....

okay here we go:

all shells are starclassic bubinga

*piccollo toms are actually tama octobans



Cymbals:

Hi-hats -
13" - AAX - Fusion Hats
14" - HH - Rock hats

Crashes:
16" - AAX - AAXtreme crash
18" - AAX - AAXtreme crash
18" - AAX - AAXtreme crash
19" - AAX - AAXtreme crash

Ride:
22" - HH - Mega Bell Ride

Effects:
20" - HHX - Chinese
20" - HHX - Chinese
12" - PAISTE - Flager Splash
9" - Signature - Max Splash (sabian)
7" - Signature - Max Splash (sabian)
14" - AA - Mini Chinese




Kind of a mix between a smalll portnoy kit and travis smith (trivium) with deeper tonality in the shells, hence bubinga.



may the forks be with you.
 
...I am also happy with the drums that I have now.





The white marine pearl kit are my dream drums. I have ordered a 14x14" floor tom to turn it into a five piece. The inspiration for doing so is from adding the 14x14 from my fab four kit to my black oyster dubs. This I did out of boredom, but the more I play this set up, the more I like it.

Mine would be....
A custom titanium Dunnett drum set.
2x 22x18 kicks
20x18 kick
10x9 rack tom
12x10 rack tom
14x14 floor tom
16x16 floor tom
14x7 carbon fiber Dunnett snare
13x3.5 titanium Dunnett snare

For cymbals, not sure exactly what I'd have, but there would be mostly Sabian's and Ufip's I imagine.
 
i got mine a few years ago, but it would be nice to have some others, for example ...

... a brady marri in natural satin with k hybrids

... a sonor sq2 birch in scandi birch satin with paiste dark energys

... a dw collector's maple timeless timber short stack in natural satin with k customs

... a sonor sq2 x-ray with paiste lines

... a dw collector's birch in natural satin with k cons

... and so on ... ;)
 
I wouldn't need much to have the ultimate drumset.

Not wanting to come accross as smug, but I already have my dream kit, worked bloody hard for it it too!! the only thing I would change would be my BigDog double bass pedal for a DW or an Iron Cobra, but I'll sort that some time next year.

So here we go;


My Kit is a Premier Artist Maple Series in Natural Wood Finish
10 x 8 tom
12 x 10 tom
14 x 14 floor tom
16 x 16 floor tom
22 x 18 bass
14 x 5 Main snare
13 x 3 maple piccalo secondary snare ( to left of hi Hat)

My Cymbal set up consists of (left to right)

15" A custom Crash
8" A custom Splash
10" Oriental Trash splash
13" A Custom Mastersound Hi hats
18" K custom Dark Crach
20" A custom Projection Crash
21" Z custom "Megabell" Ride
18" Oriental Trash
20" Oriental "Crash of Doom"

It may be a complete Ball ache to set up, but its well worth the effort.
