Pics of your sets on stage

[TheBeachBoy]

This was one of the last gigs I played last year before everything shut down. I've played since then but haven't taken too many pics.

This was November of 2019 at a firemen's ball and awards gig we did.

That's beautiful man! I'd like to hear the cymbal on the right with the rivets installed.

When we are done setting up for a gig I like to snap a pic or two of the stage with whatever set I'm playing on it. I'm no photographer but sometimes I get some pretty cool shots of my USA Customs and Classic Maples.

How about sharing some cool shots of your sets on stage?

I loved your playing on that show. I go back and watch clips of it all the time. The energy you brought to your performance was wonderful. Kit sounded great too.

So many of these kits have only one rack tom.
I guess that's the current standard?

Simply isn't enough for me. I use 3 rack toms and a floor.
Maybe it's the type of music?
I'm playing classic rock and some metal.

 

[ZsBs]

Man I sure hope we are playing these out again in the near future!

...and not the best shot but not to be forgotten - my old vistas:

Sometimes, I go tom free... Bikini

I like the top down "office for the night" photos. This one at a concert in 2018 with new blue sparkle Mapex kit.

We had our first show in seven months with the Pink Floyd tribute I’m in. It was nice to finally get back out there and play in front of a crowd, although the crowd was at about a quarter capacity of what the place was really supposed to hold, of course due to the coronavirus restrictions.
At the same time the coronavirus is the reason why I haven’t gotten a haircut in a year and I was able to grow it out and look like Nick Mason circa 1972 Pompeii, LOL

 

[unspokendrums]

Love my toys, it’s a great feeling and a blessing to set them up and have fun!!!

I can't speak for anyone else here, but it's been my current standard since about 1973. Virtually all of my heroes growing up used a 1 up/1-2 down config. I learned to play by emulating them, which included mimicking their setups. There was a brief time in the late '70s where I flirted with 2 mounted toms, but that faded pretty quickly. It's been 1 up/1-2 down ever since.

Last one...sometimes they let me play steel too....

Ha that's great, a steel guitarist friend of mine answered a question "Is it hard to play the steel?" He answered "Nope, it's easy to play....it's hard to make it sound good!"
