twin floor toms 16/18
twin 24 Kicks
The Rodgers Snare
And a Full set of Zildjian K's
The Kit alone I today would have been worth around $9-10K with all my hardware, gong, and accessories.
Dumb bitch sold it all for $500, dude missed taking the snare, and she got another $100 for it, so I was told a few weeks after my divorce  |
I might vaguely recall some special edition exports, but that was a long while back.
I like
playing on the big kits, but I never wanted to cart one around. I started with a five-piece, and then stripped it down to a four with a double pedal. I like it because it forces you to "up" your technique. The first time I watched a really good jazz drummer getting all of these sounds and vocabulary from four drums, I knew that everything else was just coloration and icing for the cake. I'd hate to be Bozzio's roadie these days!
I
do have a cymbal jones though; 4 crashes, two pair of high hats, 2 china's, a splash and a ride.
I like Paiste the best. If you put your cymbals together as a set in terms of the sounds complimenting each other, and one of them breaks, you can order the same model and it will sound 95% like the one you just lost.
Anyway, drums are cool.
