"Normal" Drummer
So, Rick’s post on a dream snare inspired me to start this thread. I really love the drums I am playing right now, but I also have my favorite pieces of the different drum sets I have played over the years. If you could piece together the perfect drum set from all the drums you’ve played over the years, what would you use?
Let’s try to keep it to just drums - cymbals can be another thread altogether. For me, it would most likely be a 4 piece kit, consisting of the following:
1) Rogers 14x20 Dayton era bass drum. Nothing like it, IMO.
2) Late 50s Slingerland 14x14 floor tom, 3 ply, mahogany interior. It’s the sound I hear in my head when I think of what a floor tom should sound like.
3) Tough choice on this one, but for my rack tom, I’d go with my late 80s Yamaha RC 12x12 tom. Yeah, I know...it‘s a square size power tom, completely outdated now, but that thing could sound like a floor tom if you wanted it to, and was just such a powerful, musical drum.
4) My snare would be my latest score - my 7x14 Noble & Cooley SS Walnut (with the 5x14 SS Maple as a back-up or side snare).
How about yours? Have fun!
