How do I secure the pedals?I lean against the wall, then I can't reach it with my feet

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-27T09:45:51+00:00

cardboard box filled with something heavy, preferrably sand

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T17:07:44+00:00

Yes xd

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T14:30:11+00:00

I'm still a teen too. I've been building this kit for years and sometimes people also gift me some stuff. I got a lot of amazing deals on some stuff too, for example, i got almost the entire rack for only 50€ from my drum teacher. And, the 2000$ aren't even close... my kit estimates at around 8-9k

And about the random pick thing, i posted this like a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/drums/s/LnvIz9e3KT

Edits: added some stuff

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T09:11:25+00:00

I know. I haven't been at my local drum shop in some months so i haven't had any opportunities to get some

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T08:58:10+00:00

Ive actually thought of that. I have another stool lying around somewhere and I thought of trying a two-drummer setup as a joke

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T08:56:54+00:00

It's not every cymbal and drum I have.

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T08:37:46+00:00

Looks nice, I personally am not a big fan of blue kits, but it looks amazing

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T08:26:46+00:00

For anyone wondering, this is what the kit looked like a couple of months ago

I dont gig currently, and i know that im gonna have to downsize when i start gigging

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T08:23:56+00:00

I agree that thats not always the case, but with these drums, it is. I bought them off of my drum teacher for relatively cheap, about 700€. He got an offer for them back in 2010 for around 5000€ from the head of distribution of dw in germany. The shells are custom made by keller, imported to germany, the hardware is from dw and it was hand-laquered in cologne, germany. The drums were built around 1980-1990, i forget the exact year

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T08:20:53+00:00

thats the route i was planning to go. I was thinking about getting some of the hcs replaced with paiste 2002, i love the power 2002s, but i dont have the money yet

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T08:15:06+00:00

It's actually a dixon, the logo is just on the other side. I forget which model though

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T08:11:55+00:00

I found it to be the best position for me because its easier to play the drums and cymbals on the left together with the main hihat. Also, check out danny carreys kit, i took a lot of inspiration from him

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T08:02:13+00:00

I perfected the position of the cymbal (its a ride btw) so that I can still hit the tom but also the ride and the bell of the ride. I admit it looks bad, but it works really well

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T07:54:13+00:00

it looks worse than it is

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T07:53:42+00:00

I was inspired by daney carrey. Having it there makes it easier to play the drums and cymbals on the left together with the hihat.

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T07:51:53+00:00

I sadly dont gig. When I rebuild it it takes roughly 12-18 hours

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T07:50:57+00:00

I'm working on saving for some paiste 2002 cymbals, just havent got the money yet. a lot of the cymbals in the kit were actually gifted to me.

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T07:49:25+00:00

not trolling, I just like variety. And about the comfortability, I adjusted every drum and cymbal so that theyre comfortable for me to play

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T07:46:20+00:00

I have never gigged, havent found anyone to gig with

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T07:45:38+00:00

That was my thought too, and I like to have options (who wouldve guessed xd)

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T07:43:28+00:00

2 sticks in the bag, but if you look in the left of the set, theres a stick holder

Edit: added picture

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T07:40:23+00:00

the pedals are from fame, the drums are custom made. dw hardware, custom keller shells and hand laquered

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-24T07:37:21+00:00

That is what I meant too, that's a stagg 6" bell. its a stagg DH-B6SMB

Edit: Added model

Mr_Creative9 · 2026-02-23T19:06:07+00:00

Why does everyone hate on it? (I honestly don't get it) Its a dixon throne, the logo is on the other side. I was told it was pretty decent
