Rediculously Massive Drum Kits

I thought there was a thread on this but I can't find it. Anyhow, I thought it'd be fun to start a new one. I recently scaled down to a 4pc from a 6pc (biggest I could ever think of playing) - which got me thinking about the kits I'd see as a kid in the 80's, w/ several kicks, too many toms to count, and enough bronze to be visible from the international space station.

I'll start w/ the most obvious one I could think of...Terry Bozzio...

Wow that looks like an amazing kit to play. I love that set up! I don't think it's that huge either. Plus Beauford uses his whole kit creatively unlike some others with large kits. I'm pretty sure alex van Halen had a huge kit back in the day. Don't got a pic tho cause I don't know how to post them lol.

Yeah, he definitely had some of the biggest, most outrageous 80's kits out there

I wish I had a picture to put up, but Gregg Bissonette's Eat'em N Smile tour Yamaha's were one of the biggest kit's of the 80'. Unique looking finish also. One of a kind. Now owned by a Drummerworld member. Sadly its not me ;(
