If Porsche was to Build a Drum Kit
 

Not for the faint of heart - only to be operated by highly skilled drummers;

(this is actually a Terry B kit!)

bah...John Bonham just needed a 4 piece kit with big kick drum and a couple of cymbals... mic'ed by one kick mic and an overhead pair in the hallway of a dilapidated British farmhouse estate.

Looks like something Dave Weickl would play.... with ease.

Sherwood

I aggree............some of the best drummers I've heard (rock and jazz) had the least amount of equipment.

SWEEEEEEEET!!
Looks like something I drew in art class many moons ago.

Where's Neil Pert?

Looks like my monster Slingerland setup!!

AAAANNNNNIIIIIMMMMMAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

I can 't imagine schlepping that from gig to gig.....:eek:

I have a video clip of Terry Bozzio playing a set that looks just like that one. See the Slingerland "Buddy Rich kit" in the back of the photo? I've always wanted to add a gong to my set as it's the only thing missing (besides talent)...

The kit pictured was built for Terry - I'm sure he had several lackys and a bus to hawl it around. When I saw him, he was setting up a mini monster by him self. I thought that was pretty cool for a guy like him to do.
Buddy Rich's kit was cool, that was like mine - I think Hal Blaine was as good if not better that Buddy. Buddy had a great markteer, Hal was too busy with the "brass".

:eek: what he said.

Hey Mike,
I just noticed the line you added to your signature.
Very cool, man.
I like throwing lines from movies or songs at people just to see if they get it. Most don't.:)

thats not right. like most things in life, when handled properly "less is more"

I went through the thousand piece drumkit phase. I went back to a basic five piece and found my playing improved.

my cousin has the Bonham vistalite re-issue kit. DAMN that thing is LOUD.

impressive, but a good drummer dont need all that...

Reckon this one can play upside down like the one used in the 80's by hairspray and spandex bands like Bon Jovie and Motley Crue?

My '79 Slingerland 12pc set is birch wood shell finished with a cherry stain on it. It's incredibly loud and I play the Roland electronic set most of time to avoid "neighbor problems"...

Hey Hey Victor,
Tommy Lee is,IMO, one of the best around. Nevermind the non-music crap he found. His live performances were(are) awesome.

Airto Moreira, now theres a drummer

I was not for one second suggesting that 80's metal and playing upside down where uncool. http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/drummer.gif

Yeah, I know.
Just felt like bustin' your ba!!s.
WOOHOO!!!

.....don't make me post pics of my '86 BC Rich...

Couldn't agree more - Some drummers like Terry, Billy Cobham, Neil Pert and several others go for the monster sets (IMO) for two reasons - 1) the crowd loves them so it is good marketing and 2) these guys seem to be pressing the limits of drumming in that they want to get molodic and not just be in the background. You will hear these guys get syncupated (sp) and experiment with polyrythms. Mucho drums and cymbels and all sorts of other percussion items can help to hit that end.

I like the kid who bangs on the 5gl plastic pail for pocket change. What movie was that in - I remeber it was at the beginning of a movie. Kid was about 11, in NYC subways or Central Park?

Years ago there used to be a homeless looking busker in the city (Melbourne). He had plastic buckets and some trash can lids etc and sounded bloody unreal. From time to time he used to team up with this long-haired madman in a wheelchair who played bagpipes and wore a kilt. Very “long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n roll”.

Don't make me post pics of my '72 Pearl Artist series........:D

To properly amplify that kit you need an amp that goes to eleven....

A bit over the top, but yes, DW (Drum Workshop) is the Porsche of drum kits!
