So to conclude, I am a drummer for 4-years and I am generally and rock/metal drummer but I drum along to many genres. My main influences are Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Lars Ulrich as early influences, Thomas Lang, Stef Broks, Buddy Rich, Mike Johnston, Virgil Donati, Jay Postones, Matt Halpern, Navene Koperweis, Josh Freese, Chris Pennie, Dave Abbruzzese and a lot more!

Nice comfortable looking setup. Mismatched sizes on the one hi hat, how is that working out for you? Were you bad and had to play in the corner? Lol JK. I hate setting up facing a wall. But it's a nice wall anyway lol.

The mismatched hi hat isn't the greatest sound in the world, but I am trying to get a nice trashy sound out of them and I think it works just as well.

My drums are set up in a garage and there isn't enough space to put it anywhere else so I have to deal with it in the meantime. :p
 
Looks like a comfortable kit. And I'll bet it sounds good too.

I've played around with mis-matched hat sizes and found a few combinations that sound good and are fun to play too. Get the right sounding, larger bottom cymbal that's easy to hit by itself when the hats are open, and it opens up a new way of playing.
