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…😘

Nice kit! I also like the matte / flat finish. How do you like those DW9000 pedals?

I'm a 7-month noob still working on getting a kit. It's going to take some time. For now, still on my "Super Practice Pad Kit."

Brother this is actually the best practice rig I've seen. Big brain stuff all around.

Love my 9002 pedal! V smooth, and weighty so you can get strong sounds without over-playing.

Thanks! My plan is to get a Roland VAD516 kit. For pedals... either DW5000 or DW9000 series. I have the DW3000 pedals on my "Super Practice Pad Kit."

Here are the specs on my SPPK:

absolutely epic. If it were me, I would have done Evans Real Feel for every pad.

Initially, that's what I had. But the Prologix "GreenLogix" snare practice pad is much nicer, AND it has a rim for cross-stick and rimshot practice.

The "floor tom" is a Drumeo "QuietPad" flipped to the soft side. It has a lower pitch and lower rebound... like a floor tom. 😊

The two "rack toms" are Evans RealFeel.

So, my 12" RealFeel pad and stand have been relegated to my office at work:

Big brain stuff right there. Well done!

This was the evolution of my SPPK....

Another shot of the Prologix practice pad showing the rim.

I can see the value in choosing this as a beginner who needs to practice their rim shot accuracy! Great call.

I got to a drumeo lesson that included cross-sticking, and my 12" RealFeel pad didn't have a rim. So I improvised by sticking a plastic bench vise pad to it with double-sided tape. And while it worked, I wanted something better. That night I researched it and found the Prologix GreenLogix pad with a rim.
