haha, Yeah, I know. It's fun to experiment with hi hat pairing, that's how I got my 'hats.

Awesome! What do you have? -- on topic?

14" Paiste Dark Energy top over Paiste Traditional bottom

I would've gotten a sparkle finish if they had one, but I'm hands down for satin finish or two tone I'll have to look around, what would you suggest for fb stands? and I've got vintage emp's on them over the stock heads. sounds really punchy and a killer sustain.

Yea the 805's are nice but i like my finish better ! Soundwise the 805 was very similar/almost identical to mine (both have the birch shells) so it was a matter of personal prefernce, i liked the small sizes of the FX better than the "bulky" 805, and some of the 805'S look like plastic toys IMO.

Its funny how you shelled out all that money for a 7 piece kit and are currently using a three piece! All those drums going to waste ......

At least he can make more kits out of the 7-piece.

Yea i suppose but it still seems like a waste of drums to me.

yeah, it depends, I guess.

You guys do a shocking job and staying on topic, if it even went on topic in the first place.

Ali, really nice set-up! Comfiest yet, I'd tap that!

I tap a lot of things.

It actually goes a long way! I've used every one of the drums in at least some sort of setup.

Thats good. As long as you utilise your drum in some shape or form.

Yup. I wouldn't let anything go to waste for too long. I mean, even if I'm using a 3 piece and loving it.. there's always another setup on my way.. already trying to work one around thr 3 piece, might do something like jojo mayer but a little closer..

What sizes did you get with your 7 piece ? 22" 14" 8" 10" 12" 14" 16" ? You could do a steve jordan type thing and have a wee kit to the left of your kit, you'd need and other snare and hats and pedal but that would be cool.

yea, exactly that steve jordan is one of my new coming influences..

You should try and get an SJ esque set up going on! Might be cool, 22"Kick 14" snare 10" tom and 14" toms as main kit, then 16" minikick 8" tom and 12" tom as left side kit! That would be frickin sweet!

haha! yea man! all I'll need is another snare

go for it dude. i would very much enjoy seeing pictures of a setup like that.

kyle you should get a wee 10" or 12" snare, i'd vote that kit as my favourite in the next fav kit poll!

me too! I wanna pick up a 10" snare this month too.. along with those hats ;P That way.. all I'll really need is some cheap bass pedal.. and hihat stand! .. and those bass legs thing that go into the floor tom leg thingy.. this could work actually..

You could always bend your current floor tom legs like sjman did for his mini kit. He has pics up here somewhere.

O.o .. I may.. but IDK about that. I mean I've got enough.. and I'll never use 2 floor toms at the same time.. i think..

Do it!

O yea 400!

post whore. kidding omg, I love you. Don't hurt me.

Nah i ain't no post whore.
And i like totally won't hurt you.
