I've been Delite'd today ;-)
Picked up a Sonor Delite 4-piece shell set at the music store I'm mostly buying stuff at. My very first shells/drums, not counting a crappy snare (actually, a modified tom) which I've been using so far (mostly with a practice pad on top).
Dimensions:
22 x 17.5 bass drum (w/ tom holder mount)
10 x 8 TT
12 x 9 TT
14 x 14 FT
& 1 double tom holder.
Price: 1.999 Euros (plus 100 Euros for some cases)
The first time I've seen that Tiger finish was on Derek Roddy's DVD (Blast Beats Evolved) - one of the hottest finishes for drums I can think of. I've never seen that finish in person before - it's a bit on the pale side and looked darker/more intense on various pics and also on Derek's DVD but it's still a cool finish. (I like transparent finishes and stained wood in general, be it drums or guitars.) The bass drum is not a virgin bass drum but actually this allows more setup variations so I'm fine with this.
I've taken those pics at the store, prior to packing them. I'm very happy to have those decent drums but feel utterly unworthy of them [2 yrs into drums now]. That's a Sonor Benny Greb snare they had set up for demo purposes.I have to keep using my crappy snare for the moment, will upgrade at a later time.
That 22'' bass drum is so punchy I think a 20'' would do it, too. Might/want to get more toms in the longer run, an 8'' and/or a 16''.
My setup so far:
* dw2002 double pedal (modified: reduced footplate angle, I've flexed away those studs at the heel block and also flexed down the linings and model designation a bit to make the footplate smoother in feel, esp. for swivel)
* (Bill Bachman's) Remote Speedy Hat (w/ cheapo hihat set)
* Tama Iron Cobra hihat (w/ cheapo hihat set or, alternatively, some DIY bell cymbals)
* 1 cheapo marching tom modified into a snare
* a total of 16 DIY bells (a few sound quite similar and are obsolete, will sell those)
* 1 Meinl Byzance Dry Ride 20''
* 1 Doppler Drums 18'' Crash (had 1 crack, now DIY'ed into an Ozone style cymbal w/ 6 holes)
* a few surplus cymbal stands
(Had a few cracked and salvaged Zildjian ZBT hats/rides, modded them into a pair of 11.5'' and 13'' hats but sold them recently.)
