I call these drums my "Go to DWs". These shells aren't timbre matched or anything fancy. Just some shells that look and sound good together.
I just added an older Keller shelled 14 X 10 rack tom that I found on ebay for a decent price. $250.00 and it came with a Rims and DW STM tom mount,
I'd been thinking about a bigger rack tom for a while now and this looked like a good way to experiment.
The set up is: 12 X 10 and 14 X 10 rack toms mounted on a 22 X 18 kick, and a 16 X 16 on the floor. Snares vary, This one is a Yammie 13 X 6.5 brass.
Not a lot of drums, but a pretty huge sound. I went for a fairly low tuning and the drums sound great. Real deep and punchy. It's kinda cool sitting behind them too. The 14 looks huge on top of the kick.
In addition to the drums in the picture I also have a 20 X 18 virgin kick, 8 X 8 and 10 x 9 rack toms, and a 14 X 14 floor tom.
The set up possibilities are almost endless with this shell pack. Anytime I'm bored with a set up I drag these tubs out, and set up something different. Lot of fun!
The cymbals are Paiste sigs. 14 sound edge hats. 18" crashes and china. 20" ride.
Here's what this set up looks like.
