Members lossforgain Posted February 7, 2013 Members Share Posted February 7, 2013 So I haven't been around for a little while. How many sets do you have, and which one is your favorite/go-to/main set?I currently have 3.5 sets and one on order...let me explain.Main: Slingerland Studio Kings - yes they are still my #1 set! Love these green gems. I have 20/12/14 and two matching snares.Kids' and student (lessons) kit: Groove Percussion 16/10/13House kit at church: Ludwig (modern reissue) Club Date 22/13/16Project in the works: Ludwig 3 ply (more to come about those) - this is my ".5" set because I still need a drum to complete it, and every drum needs some work.On order: Gretsch USA Custom 22/12/16 - I'm assuming this will become the new main kit but we'll see how they stand up to the Slingerlands...it may be a tie!

Members Living Dead Drummer Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Currently 2.5 kits...Live kit: Yamaha Rock Tour (new 2011)Studio kit: Yahama Recording Custom (late 80's early 90's)3rd Kit is a home project. I'm currently building a kit for DJ/Club gigs.(Don't want some drunk chick spilling a drink on my nice gear)So far I have a 13" tom and 22" kick done. Working on the Snare now and need to find a Floor tom next.And I guess if you count my gig with Street Drum Corps, well then I have 3 more "trash kits" too.I have enough for us to do a 3 man stage show stored at my place. We use it when we are too lazy or unavailable to run to the storage locker in Burbank, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well...you're probably going to consider this cheating but because I trigger software I've probably got about 30 kits at the moment. My favorite at the moment is an 80's Gretsch Natural Blonde Maple kit, with an Ayotte snare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite at the moment is an 80's Gretsch Natural Blonde Maple kit, with an Ayotte snare. Not cheating. Definitely more compact than 30 actual sets. Four kits; since quitting my band (boo-hoo) three of the four are on racks in storage. The only one setup is the Pearl Sessions; so I guess that makes it #1 -- all maple 10x12; 14x14; 16x16; 18x22 with the 8x14 Vinnie Paul signature snare. A mix of Paiste 2002 and Zildjian A. The storage kits include my two Pearl MX kits and my SMX including all their cymbals and hardware. Yeah, my basement looks like Sam's Hot Drum Store.

Members fusionfunk Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 The same 3 in my signature. Number one for studio=Sonor ; number one for gigs=Premier. That may change though, as I have been wanting to get a new gigging kit to replace the Premiers for quite some time now. I've decided 'what brand/size/color', just haven't decided when.

Members Gremson Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Still at two sets here. I've got my gold sparkle Keller kit that does everything for me. Live and studio. And I've got my dad's old frankenkit built out of a bunch of random shells. It's difficult to say it's mine anymore though. My dad's the one who pieced it together, and it currently lives at my brother's house. I don't have much to do with it anymore. Of course, where's the fun without pics?

Such great drums.Gremmy, what happened to that black sparkle kit you recovered, is that the frankenkit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
