Merry Christmas to you man.
Thanks for supporting my music & my band.

you will learn shortly that you need to move the drums closer together especially the toms. Also move the floor tom in closer to your right leg. Your going to be hitting a lot of air if you space em out that far.


is that the ride symbol on the right side... the biggest one in diameter?

looks nice i love the color, what brand is it?

Depends on your drumming style :P

Nice set though, go get yourself some double bass :9

yes it does depend on your playstyle... but why would you space em out that far? Just looks like a lot of missed drum fills and w/e. seems like you'd be moving your arms a lot farther to hit the next drum when you are probably going to be missing your drum altogether.

BUT IT LOOKS like this was just a quick set up to take some pics of it. Not totally "set-up" yet.

He just recently bought a 500 dollar electronic set to keep here at the house. It sounds really good and you can upgrade it how he sees fit. Idk. I mean, Im sure new learners will want to start with something cheap. But to me thats not the way to go. Cheap stuff just doesnt sound good, at all. I would go middle of the road if this is something you really want to pursue.

Heres a couple pics of his set.

see how close everything is together. doesnt waste time getting to the next drum.

but then again he plays fast metal so, for him its a must.
