  • classic set up, just like bonham, ian paice, john densmore, and all the early jazz and blues! good video to give people an idea of a comfortable way to play

  • I like feeling short when i play my drums,so I set everything high

  • @Firter why use crashes as rides? Why open hihats? Why hit anything harder than you're "supposed" to? Because people are different

  • I set mines to were iam comfortable with the set... why should I set mine to where I don't like it?

  • @SATSCHOCKlovesNOFX Not necessarily. It looks like a very natural and comfortable setup actually.

  • your drumset is waaaay too low!

  • why use rides as crashes? That's just plain stupid.

  • @PlagueOfDisaster shouldve gotten a lefty bass pedal

  • Could i ask you something?

    I am a left drummer, but i drum on a right kit, because the double bass pedal is right... but heres my problem. I have a Tama Swingstar, and my tom and TOM are to far for me, and i can't get them closer .. also my Ride is too far away for me, and when i wanna place him closer, he's over my floor tom...

  • I love that drum throne! Pneumatic!
