So I've been living with this kit for a couple of months now that its complete and since I had the opportunity to just get whatever I thought I needed in the hardware department, I've been experimenting with different set-ups, and I think I now have settled on how I'll be using the kit once I get busy again when school gets back in session. This configuration is very easy to go between a regular hi-hat stand, and my cable hi-hat stand. In fact, all I have to do is have the regular hi-hat stand with me to change the set-up to a traditionalist set-up if I need to do that. But I am certainly digging having the hats right in front of me and a single ride. I'm able to do so much with just that. It isn't necessary that I have two floor toms, but I do like the look of two and it's certainly nice to have.
One other thing I've done over the last few days is really go through the owner's manual for the Demon Drive pedal, and I think I've gotten it to feel the way I like it to feel - since so many people have complained that the pedal feels 'weak'. I re-configured it to be a long-board, and changed the beater setting to the 'power' setting, and readjusted the footboard angle, and now it feels pretty good. Much more powerful to my foot then when it came out of the box. I'm still trying different things with it, so I'll let you know how it goes.
So the run-down:
Pearl Reference Pure in Piano Black
16x22 bass drum
8x12 rack tom on snare stand
14x14 floor tom
16x16 floor tom
Studio Session Classic 6.5x14 birch/kapur snare in piano black, with FatTone hoops installed
Hardware is all Pearl
