Finally Got Me Some Drums, Man !!!
« on: October 12, 2008, 08:19:03 PM »
Been without my own kit for WAY-TOO-LONG....

Found a great kit....picking them up tomorrow....

These pics don't do them justice....they're actually in much better condition than it looks in these pics.

Awesome kit, Rob!!!  Love the Gibralter rack.

I've been playing Yamaha drums for 20 years and at the moment have a Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute kit.  I also have a Gibralter rack, but not curved arms like yours.

Congrats and have fun !!

Although my roots are John Bonham, Joey Kramer, Neil Peart, Terry Bozzio, Tommy Aldridge...

My new "HERO" is Dave Weckl

Weckl is my favorite too.  He was awesome in the Electik Bank and Akoustic Band, but his solo stuff is great too.

That set's a beauty, Rob. Good to hear you're going back to it. I am tossing the thought around myself. I may have to go the electronic route first though.    :D
Any tips?

I had an electronic kit a few years ago and loved it.  I had a Roland V-Drums kit while living in a condo.

That's good to know Andrew, thanks. I'm hoping I can keep them in the extra bedroom. Is there any way to control the volume?
