Custom built by me hopefully!
Have no idea what cymbals or hardwear, this is years away.

Ok, so now that I've thuroughly wasted your time, post your current and or dream kit with kit builder (or pics if you already have your desired kit). I want to see what's on everyone's hopeful drum side!
 
Heres mine, I know the hi hat is off, but I dont have a place to put it. And I don't know what kit it is because I can't decide, nor can I with the cymbals.

That looks intense, man. I tried three floors, and I can't handle it. Especially big ones like that. I would be in a wheel chair by age 30 if I were to twist like that every day.
 
Hey Guys this is my New kit just picked it up this week, enjoy.....

You really HAVE GOT TO post a thread entirely about your kit man, I am so curious about how it looks from different angles. It's a unique set-up, and I think it's great drum-porn :)
 
I don't have photos of my current kit, but my set-up is very similar to my dream kit pictured here. I have a PDP (MX series) in emerald green fade with Zildjian cymbals: 13" Newbeat Hi Hats, 20" K Custom Dry Ride, 6" A Custom Splash, 8" A Custom Splash (mounted over the kick), 17" A Series Medium Crash, and a 14" Oriental trash (which is actually on order from a dealer). Someday, though, I dream of getting a four-piece DW kit like this one with a natural wood/lacquer finish. (Sigh)

Current Kit:
DW
18x22 Bass Drum
12x14 Rack Tom (Sometimes 8x10)
14x16 Floor Tom
6.5x14 Ludwig Supraphonic

Cymbals:
17" Zildjian Thin Crash (1980's Model I think)
18" Zildjian ZBT Crash (Yes it's a cheapy)
20" Zildjian K Custom Ride
14" Zildjian ZBT Hi-Hats (These are cheapy too)
currentkit-1.png



Dream Kit:
Ludwig

All I need to say is Bonham for the shell sizes. Nice round warm tone.

Cymbals:
Paiste
Basically the same as Bonhams.

And a big reason for the Bonham kit is not because of it being his set-up, but because its a great sound. :-D and lets all be honost, he's the man!.lol

I'm going for this, which is basically the setup I got right now, minus the 12x14 tom, the hi-hat on the left, and the wide array of cymbals.
