What's Your Latest Drum Purchase?

[bpaluzzi]

Picked up one of these.

It's heavier than I expected when empty, but lighter than I expected when full (even with a 6.5 bell brass snare in it).

Loaded up with a pedal, stick bag, snare, "emergency kit" of tools / spare parts, and my cymbals. Doing a bit more backlined gigs (and hourly rehearsal rooms), so having one case to bring that has everything I need was appealing.

Wish it fit 22" cymbals, but otherwise super happy with it.

My new (to me) late 90's Ayotte-Keplinger 14x5.5 snare. One owner. I gave it a wipe down and added new heads and wires; Remo coated vintage Emp on the top, Amb snare side, and Puresound Equalizer 16 strand wires (Greg stocks his snares with 16's, figured I'd give it a try, nice ratio of shell to wires). Otherwise the snare is all original. It's been awhile since I played one of these (even longer since I've owned one), and forgot how great they sound...they have there own vibe with the wood hoops, can't wait to track with it. I currently have it setup with my 89' Ayotte kit, which also sounds unreal, thanks to Ray Ayotte further customizing it. Great combo. I also gave it a weigh - 14.8 lbs.

I WILL SHOW THAT TO MY WIFE, not sure she will "appreciate. but hey guys, you need to live dangerously!! She's usually the one who tells me no ore "Music stuff"...
I was on Keys, then Guitars, then basses, then guitar pedals and pedalboard, then bass pedals and pedalboard and then drums, cymbals and snares...Ok, I was a bit on PA and Recording stuff even before guitar and bass...
But I have bought a lot used stuff so, usually I show her what she "saved" with me as I'm very good at buying "old" stuff compared to new ones...Yes, I know, I said "she saved"....I didi the same to my Dad when he bought me for 10,000 French Francs in 1978 my L100 Hammond Organ + Leslie, at that time a new B3 hammond should have been around 30,000/35,000 Francs maybe?
AND, BIG AND, due to my accident, I don't buy anymore Bikes stuff, paragliding and windsurfing and climbing and trekking stuff so, big BIG SAVING!!! FOR HER!!!

These are the Beta 27 models for floors.

I use the KSM 27 as over-heads.

Ok, ha yes and Beta 52 for Kick, SM57 right angle for snare and SM81 for hihat ok, great.

I need three more 98 Beta amp mics for the new rig, but those are the best of all the mics I have (and had, even smoking out the md-421 on floors).

If they weren’t so expensive, I wouldn’t have got the Sm 27’s on the floors, as the 98’s do such a great job capturing the lows.

It took a while to put the funds together and to get it all sorted, but i am soooo happy.

I found this one in our neihgborhong country and it is perfect for the prog rock direction I want to go.

Only missing a 15” to complete the 6 rack tom setup. But for now this will do fine.

I found a second BOA pedal too, and got some more rack items in.

(the straight front bars are just temps until I can measure the curved ones for to cut them in correct legth when the toms have arrived).

Just bought Gretsch Renown kit in oyster pearl (10.13,16,18, and 24 kick)

I had a difficult time getting it in the bass drum collet plate but once in, it is really easy to adjust.
