Here are my two drumkits outside my rehearsal unit. I've put pictures up of them before, but not side by side.
Quite a difference in size between the two!
The small kit is a converted 1970's 16" Ludwig floortom with a 1926 Premier Popular Model snare, an unknown ride/crash cymbal and Paiste hi hats. I can fit all the stands into a small travel suitcase with wheels, the bass drum fits in a floor tom bag, and I'm working on finding something which can hold both the snare and cymbals and which I could carry on my back (any suggestions anyone?). It takes about 4minutes to setup and 3 minutes to break down. I use this for a blues/garage band, and a jazz quartet.
The larger kit is a 1960's Slingerland set 22/16/13, with a 1960's Carlton Snare, Istanbul agop hi hats, an Istanbul traditional crash, and a Paiste jazz/rock Ride . It's got a good, deep sound, no muffling, takes about 7 minutes to setup, and I just use it for the one band which is a 50's Rock N Roll covers band.
