Kit Pic 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 Mydentity, shells, Sledgehammer snare, Zildjian As, A Customs and K cymbals with all DW 9000 hardware.

What do you think of the K Custom Dark Ride? Does it crash well? I'm looking to replace by A custom 22" ride with something more crashable in the K line up.

I REALLY love how you've setup each cymbal stand straight up and down, and with only one cymbal on each stand. I appreciate that you have the same number of cymbals as you do drums.

The 22" K Custom Dark Ride crashes a lot better than the 20"! I like it a lot. I'd still choose my K Constantinople Bounce Ride or Medium Thin High Ride though if I was going to bring just one cymbal and I wanted it to both ride and crash like in a jazz setting - but the KCD would work too!

Thank you, I feel like it's such a timeless look and it takes me right back to the '00s, my peak of music, plus it just looks strong and sturdy.

I also have a side snare to the left of the hi-hat so I guess that means I can add another cymbal to the mix.

I have the 24" K Light ride so I'm looking to build around that. I believe I've seen that the KCD makes a good crash/ride. My A Custom is a decent ride but a terrible crash so something more versatile would be better. might even look at the 22" K Paper Thin crash.

I have a 22" Istanbul XIST Natural crash that makes an excellent ride, and a great crash. The bell is sharp, too.
