Pacific LX: Standard 5-piece kit configuration: (Black-Cherry Fade Lacquer) 18x22" bass drum, 8x10", 9x12", 12x14" toms, 5x14" snare drum and a (Natural Maple Lacquer) 6x12" SX snare drum.

Hardware:
• PDP DT800-04 Standard Throne
• PDP SS900 Snare Stand
• DW 9702 Multi Stand Converted into a Tom Stand
• DW 5700 Boom Cymbal Stands (x2)
• PDP CB900 Boom Stands (x2)
• PDP CS900 Straight Stand
• PDP HH920 Hi-Hat Stand
• DW 7002 Double Bass Pedals
• DWSMMG4 Mega Clamp
• PDP AC991 Drum Clamps (x2)

Heads:
• Evans EC2's
• Evans EMAD Bass Batter

Cymbals:
• Zildjian Z Custom Master Sound 14” Hi-Hats
• Zildjian A Custom Projection 16” Crash
• Zildjian Avedis Medium Thin 17” Crash
• Zildjian Earth Ride 20”
• Zildjian Zil-Bel 6”
• Mystery Cymbal X (its cracked POS, but has nice trashy sound)

Forgive the background. The practice space walls are not pretty where I play.

Also, I got rid of that annoying hunk of metal on my Bass Drum. First, I made a stencil. Then, used a regular old flat piece of scrap metal, a dremel tool and 1 cutting disk. I took my time cutting out a rough shape. Then, grinded down the rest to the shape I had drawn on it. Then, I used 2 wire brush attachments to remove any unwanted debri. It had a lot, being scrap metal and all. The next step, I used 2 abraisive attachments to get the brushed metal look and a drill, of course, to make the screw holes. I took the plastic piece out of the tom mount, that was originally on the drum and cut it into a spacer, to cut down on vibrations.

Let me know what you think. Smile

great idea, and it looks good. i have the same problem, i was just going to take it into a trophy shop, but yours turned out great and it seems halfway easy to do.

sexy color on the kit too.

What a beautiful set. I have been considering going away from the kick tom mount but being oldskool and used to the reaches and flow to the floor toms I think it would feel odd and uncomfortable to me.

Maybe I will go and try a set up and see how it feels. I like the look of the tom stands but function and comfort is more important.

Again great kit and set up . Enjoy
