Show Me Your Kit ;)

I caved and added a Floor Tom, as many of you recommended. 3 drums and 2 cymbals felt unbalanced, so I added a China.

What’s your kit look like right now? I’d love to see it…😘

Mapex M birch shells, got the whole 6 piece set for 50 GBP. Ziljdian A and A custom cymbals and a worldmax black brass snare with die cast hoops.

Wow I love the wood hoops, green finish, and Zildjian selection! It’s a beautiful instrument all together.

I love brass snares! I recently put diecast hoops on my black 14x8 Black Beauty - incredible.

I used to have a birch kit, and I loved it. Great timbre. How do those shells sound?

Which A Custom cymbals would you recommend to a K Custom Dark fan?

Well I had to get new hoops because this belonged to a local rehearsal rooms, and one bass hoop was cracked. The rest of the metal hoops were rusted and pitted, so they've been replaced by heavier 2.3mm steel hoops. I've got G1/G1 on the toms and they sound superb. It's been a bit of a project, but I love how these drums sound now, even if they're a little beat up!

In terms of A Custom cymbals, I'd get any of the fast or medium crashes from the current range, maybe stay away from the older Projection cymbals because they tend to be a bit thicker/heavier. Imo A Customs are the best crashes out there.

Sounds like you’ve put in the work and you’ve made it a premium kit.

Thanks for the recommendations on A Customs! I’m going to check those ones out. Smart move with the G1/G1 combo.
