(Uncle Steves mid-life crises drumset) Zildjian 20 Ping Ride riveted...(don't
ask....got a good deal) for rock the Ping is boring, yet decent for jazz/blues.
18" K Zildjian crash/ride..purchased a Gibralter boom stand for the 18..since
this only comes with the hihatt,one cymbal, mounting hdwr, and bass pedal. just
got a medium duty double braced stand.....Now the 14" hihatts were
used......yet never used by this guy....so for 20 bucks I got a set of Zilco
hatts.......not too good, but neither am I :) anyway....like the mesh heads
that come along with the regular heads.....but I still enjoy alienating the
adjacent condo-complex residents. Nice thing is, it slides under the piano
nicely...when I need to see the TV. 20x8 halfshell bass-drum, as well as three
half-shell Toms. Comes with a 13" pic. type snare, but got a Slingerland higher
quality 14" from music yo...pretty good prices on certain items...but I'm glad
I didn't get suckered into one of their "jam session" toy kits...Slingerland
doesn't make Radio King quality anymore...lot's of entry level stuff tho, same
with Ludwig..Anyway, the Pearl set is a decent ply///albeit only 6
lugs...anyway just figured I'd tell ya' that I finally graduated to level of "A
Drummer".....<ducking>
Btw...got some guitar stuff too...but that's another day :) Still attempting to
do small tech jobs with the guitars...ie...blocking the tremsetter vibrato area
by sawing down door molding...etc :)
