Your "Go To" kit
  • If you have more than one kit, when and where do you use it?  When do you use the others?  I'll go first.

    I have three kits.  The first is a 7 pc Zickos.  I can use it with the whole set up (22, 18, 16, 14, 13, 12 and SD).  It's fun because everywhere you swing you hit something. The downside is that it is a lot of stuff to lug around.  Or, I can use it as a 5 pc (22, 16, 13, 12 and SD) which is how I usually use it.  Or it is a 4 pc jazz kit (18 as BD,14 as FT, 12 and SD).  I haven't tried this yet, but I just got into a new jazz combo and I can't wait to use it at our first gig.  I also have a 5 pc Pearl Forum that I use for faster set up situations or when I have to leave it unattended.  I also have a 4 pc no name kit I bought to play outdoor pit jobs when I have to leave it overnight in there storage.  I also have these last two kits set up in my studio for lessons.  I don't have enough cymbals for all of these but I am working on it. 

    I didn't always have this many kits.  This is a new thing in my life but I am taking advantage of it.  I know that there are some of you that have far more equipment than this, but it's a lot for me.

    How about you?

    I use my Silverstar jazz kit; 18" kick, 12" rack tom, 14" floor tom, when rehearsal is at the bass players house. It's a small space.
    At home I have two kits set up. My Ludwig Element SE; 22" kick, 12" rack tom, 14" floor tom is the one I play most since it's not as loud as my 80s Tama Superstars; 24" kick, 13" and 14" rack toms and 16" floor tom.
    Live I use my guitarist buddies 79 Superstars. 24" kick, 14" and 15" rack toms and 18" floor tom. We are after all a rock n' roll band.
  • I thought this was a drum forum.  A forum, by definition, is a place where you DISCUSS something.  I put this post up hoping someone would chime in and DISCUSS! 

    Come n, guys (and gals).

    I'd add more but I'm fresh out of drums after my last post unless we want to talk snare drums?
