What is your set up?

Rasta · Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:13 am Post subject: What is your set up?

I am positive this has been done before, but I am curious what y'all are playin on.

It is my understanding that when refering to "piece" you count only drums, and not cymbals.

So what kind of set up do you play on? I currently am poundin on a 5 piece. If not specified, it is a PDP mx series.

10" rack tom
14" rack tom
10x5 PDP 805 aluminum picalo snare
14x5 Mapex Pro M snare
22" Bass

Currently, I'm playing a 5 Piece Mapex Saturn Kit in Electric Blue Sparkle

12"x9" Rack Tom
13"x10" Rack Tom
16"x16" Floor Tom
22"x18" Bass Drum

Pearl Masters Custom (06 Series.. this is a genuine custom, not to be confused with the newer range) MMX 14"x6.5" Snare Drum.

I also have a 10"x8" Rack Tom on 16 week special order, which I'm expecting some time soon as it was ordered late November.

I'm also soon to be chucking in my Masters Custom MMX Snare for a Ludwig SupraPhonic LM402 14"x6.5" (John Bonham Snare).

thats not the acrilic one is it, acrilics sound bad, but his snare does sound alright

Bohnam never used an acrylic snare. It was always the supraphonic.

I'm playing on a 6 piece Mapex Pro M

Fusion sizes (toms are all hanging):
22x18 bass
10x8 tom
12x9 tom
14x11 tom
16x12 tom

2 snares - only use one at a time, although I usually play with the first:
12x7 maple/walnut Black Panther
14x5.5 Pro M

I like having 4 toms for doing some big fills for most of the stuff that I play, I could most likely get away with only 2 toms.

Cool. Thanks for the replies.

I was curious, because I recently went from a 7 piece to a 5.

Got rid of one rack tom, and one floor tom.

I find the implications really interesting. The manner that you play your drum, and make the relations between drums (in your mind) I've found is different. Which, then helps you to be more creative with what you've got.

Has anyone experienced something simular?
