I finally got a chance to mess around with the setup again last night. I'm starting to get it set up well I think. I raised everything but the snare and hihats 4 to 6 inches. I also moved the 4th tom a little farther around the corner and brought the floor tom further foreward.

This helped a ton. I was just used to trying to have all my batter heads so close to each other in height. Putting some seperation between the snare and toms has opened up the kit a lot better.

I can also now see where there can be 4 or 5 cymbals off to the left of the hihats and be quite playable.

Hopefully I get some more time this weekend and I'll set everything up and take some pictures.

Ok, I got some time. Here's some pictures. I've set up almost everything. The only thing missing is the 10 china.







The 6 inch splash is mounted just to the right of the cowbell and 9 inch bell right now. It's finally easier to play.

You should really look into buying a rack. And then possibly buying an extention to the right so you can raise that second to last tom and then being able to bring that floor tom closer.

if you feel comfy playing it like then that, then great, problem solved.

Are Zildjans pretty much the only cymbals any drummer uses?

[bassman462]

sabian

Not at all. They are the biggest, maybe most well known with the most options and sounds....but definitly not the only. Sabian is made from one of the Zildjian brothers that inherited Zildjian after Ahrmed(?) died (definitly not the right first name...but something that sounds like it). There are also Paiste cymbals which tend to be a bit more expensive, but a completely different sound. Then there are Bosphorous that also tend to be different. I personall have a K zildjian set up (for my be bop set anyway), but the cymbals date back to the 60's. I was fortunate enough to grab my 4 cymbals from my drum teacher before he sold them to someone else. Nothing beats a old K zildjian. NOTHING. Back when they didnt use machines to make these.

ya my bro uses all sabian, but he has one old zildjian medium ride

[carter29]

mike portnoy's??

no wait, he has 2 stools

[bassman462]

nope its portnoys.

i really hate his set though, he doesnt use all of it, he's mainly a real show drummer.
