new setup, not much new gear

[anavrinIV]

a couple weeks ago I decided to completely rethink my kit and set it up for the most versatility in my playing and to just make it comfortable for myself. I am still making slight adjustments but for now I really like what I have. a couple cymbals are slightly problematic currently but really, I love this setup.

Why dont you trade in your ZBT china for a Saluda Voodoo china, plus anything else you dont want.

Was about to say. You should contact Jamie to sort out a deal on a Saluda china.

thnaks for the comments guys. I do plan on going for a voodoo eventually but it's not at the top of my list. right now I'm looking at 4 new saludas...14" custom hats, 17" diamond thin dark crash, 12" voodoo traditional, and 18" voodoo traditional or m loco china with a euro bell if jamie will do it. however, after the hats I plan on getting a set of b.o.a's so the other cymbals will have to wait.

I like it much more than a zil bel but I don't have a lot of use for it. it is definitely a fun cymbal though, and it has a cool sound too.

I am incredibly lucky to have this setup, and everything on it. I know that I didn't pay anything near retail for everything I have but I love my set to death.

thanks for all the great comments.

How much did it cost? Was there something wrong with it?

 

[Brother_Bong]

Certainly unique, in a good way!

on massmusic.net this kit sells for $3070, or did last time I checked. I found this particular set used on the floor of guitar center, stacked aside with a price tag of $1650. the only damage on these drums are a few hard to see scratches that are completely normal, and a couple small chips out of the bass drum hoops but nothing to worry about. plus, when I bought them I got a full set of new heads for nothing. I know that this set is at least a few years old but for I don't even care...they are amazing drums. I wasn't planning on buying a new set when I bought this one, I was just looking around at the time, but I happened to have the money and jumped on this deal. over all I totaled this set out to cost around $6500 new but I have been very lucky, have gotten a number of good deals, and have spent much less than that. I have worked hard for a lot of what I have and have paid for most of this setup out of my own pocket...keep in mind that I am only 18, have been playing for close to 5 years, and have gotten all this over the course of 4 years.
