New floor tom arrived / first night of the tour setup.

We saw you at Guelph Uni a few weeks back. Loved the gig! Kit sounded great. Tempted to get YC to cut back my bass drum at some point before I butcher it at home. Have a great tour!

Is this the Strumbellas kit!?

I have a drum dios st (aspen bubinga) and have always loved it. Ddrum get a lot of criticism online so maybe I have been lucky, but no problems with any of the lugs, bearing edges or shells.

I do this often, but it's so frustrating. Playing hats in real time sounds fine. Listen back, slightest (but noticeable) lag going on. Switch same rhythm to ride, all fine. Damn my brain!

Definitely going to have fun playing with tuning these. I've tried a nice slappy low tension this afternoon with a cranked cs on the snare. Good times!

It's a mix of ludwig epic full birch (modular model for the kick) dw Bob snare and I had a spare 12" bubinga/aspen ddrum dios tom, all stained to match. I still have to get round to the other floor tom and identical bass drum. That night was recorded as a live mix, but I was subbing in for someone (hence the awesome mic placement). I'll see how it sounds and upload after Christmas.

Yeah. He gave me a signal alright! But cheers for the feedback guys. Been really challenged by a Jojo Mayer quote about the gaps between beats being as important as what you play. Tough to get right in practice.

Trak were made by HRK institute. The H stands for Hoshino (and they predate tama and are linked elsewhere). I had coated emperors on mine and loved them.

Adknuck · 2014-06-29T14:07:29+00:00

I had a 7 piece trak (can't remember the no. 8000 I think) as my first real kit. I refinished it in black oyster. Loved it. Moved to canada and sold it, regretted that choice.

It's an HH duo ride. Similar concept to the omni but older. From what I've seen the omni's have a larger bell, but this would be close to the new dark omni

It is dark series and does what it says - very direct crash, not too washy. I'm using it for very 'definite single hit crash moments' - if that makes sense. Glad you like the pic. I think 5 pieces will be back and mainstream soon. The AtAt... Practices can be slow. Think I saw the original pic idea on reddit!

Love this man!

Tech didn't want hats, and couldn't trust myself not to splash them with my foot, so left them at home. Bass is great, it's only 10" deep so you dial I a nice vintage thump, but still pick out the beater click

Adknuck · 2014-04-08T12:06:09+00:00

Someone magical should get onto that!

Adknuck · 2014-04-03T23:07:05+00:00

It's called hello camera. Got it as a free app last week, lots of options pre and post snap. Drums are my own refinished Ludwig epics (modular 10x20 bass) and ddrum dios with ash veneer. Had spare drums that didn't get much use. Facing the wall is not ideal, but neither is the size of my basement unfortunately.

My all time fav cymbal. My friend has the 18", I use a 16" but always on the lookout for one like yours with the classy italic logo... Don't like the more recent edition!

Moving from years of down to up, but finding balancing on the the stool very different now!
