Drum Kit Idea #5

Tis the season that I fall into some Dolla$. Now, ive been trying to work out getting C & C for sometime now, however, I cant actually do it myself and someone has to give me the hook up, however I do not like bothering people, same goes for this person that I would be/have been pestering.

SO, im really going to try this time. I kinda put my big dreams away, and although knowing the whole time that im going to have to just go the cheap route, im finally okay with that haha. Beggers cannot be choosers!

heres what im looking at:
24x18
16x16
12x8
14x8 10ply snare

mini tube lugs. standard rack mount. floor mounts drilled onto the shell. 2.3mm hoops, except on snare, id get diecast. black kick drum hoops,with my wrap color inlayed on the hoop.

VERY standard other than the fact that im getting tube lugs, but come on! Standard lug options are always so ugly, thats why they are standard!

now, looking through C & C pictures on their gallery and myspace and thinking of some cool combinations, I figure if im getting a hook up, the less work I make them do, the better. So im going with a straight shot, one color everything. no stripes, no nadda.

i decided on Paua Orange 02. I LIKE IT! Even though it is SLIGHTLY hideous, but thats what I like about it. Its different. Which a lot of the time is why I can appreciate things.

I found a snare on their site and basically this is what my snare will look like. though this is a 7 inch snare rather than an 8.



Will I even obtain this fine drum kit you ask? Well, I really dont know. I hope so, but you can hope in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first, so...

Im going to talk to dustin probably tomorrow. See what we can make happen. Maybe even call C & C myself, with a contact and see what can be done for a price.

Wish me luck!

Drum Kit Idea #4 Save The Rain Forest

I've spoke about this one. Maybe youve heard it? This one has a theme as well, its theme would be THE FOREST! Its a beast and so delicious and ill never see it created, unfortunetly, cause it would cost oh so much money, but here it is.

Sizes:
26x24
18x18
13x10
14x8 snare 20 ply

the wrap of the drums will be TREE BARK.

and ill have Claw style wood hoops with forest green tube lugs.

(Claw style hoops)


AND on the kick drum hoops, ill have GREEN treasure troll hair fabric. which i will then PERSONALLY coin as "MOSS HOOPS" since there is moss in the woods usually haha.


now in my head i had this idea of a awesome tree bark wrap, that if it existed i would be filled with so much joy. WELL, i am browsing the SHINE drums webpage one day and what do i see?

i see this!

the drummer of Forever the sickest kids basically has MY drumset. its slightly different though, its way smaller sizes and it doesnt have claw hoops nor my idea for the kick drum hoops.

so to get a general idea of what it would like,picture this kit with huge drum sizes and not 2.3mm hoops.

little pissed about it, but whatever, mine rules harder anyway!

GEAR!

I took some pictures today at practice. i dont have any pictures of my drums anyway,i did at one time, now i dont, figured id take some today.

heres some shots of my rig:

through the control room window:


oh and heres a shot of Toms what i've dubbed "shredals"



They arent much, but they are all ive got right now! maybe one day ill have a sweet as custom! even if i dont ever get them for cheap or free...ill have atleast ONE sooner or later!

Word!

Drum Kit Idea #2 "The Astronaut"

This ones got a theme! It rules!

sizes:
22x22
16x14
12x8
14x8

baltimore lugs. diecast hoops.

lugs and kick drum claws will be FLAT GREY powder coated.

the Hoops will be CHROME BLUE powder coated.

the spurs,tom mount,floor crade and legs will be CHROME RED powder coated.

the kit itself will just be gloss white.

and for the kicker..a custom full moon kick drum head. with that large dark cradder spot on the moon being the spot where i place my port hole.

i might change the snare up a bit and not coordinate it with the kit. theres not much red in it,so i might make the snare have red hoops,blue lugs, i dont know yet. ill figure that out when it comes time.

Drum Kit idea # 1

ive told this one to basically EVERYONE. i kind of have my hopes set on it, though ill most likely have to settle for something else until and if i even ever get some sort of Drum sponsor/endorsement.

sizes:
22x20
16x16
12x10
14x7

brass tube lugs and diecast hoops.
50% offset lugs.
10 ply birch snare shell.

white glitter with pink glitter van halen stripes.
reverse colors on the snare.

thats it really. sounds uninteresting to most but if it ever gets made it will be hot shit.

thats number 1! i got a small back log of about 5 more ill post periodically so i dont over do it, but more coming soon!
