Putting the Kit Together - August 2005

I decided that it had been just too long since I had put the drum kit together so I decided to experiment with a slightly different arrangement of thing when I put the kit together in August 2005. I am well pleased with the new arrangement......

I set it all up, stepped back, and all I could think of were the words of Oppenheimer on seeing the first atomic bomb test: "I am become death, destroyer of worlds...".

I have moved the bass drum a few inches to my right and done away with the double tom mount completely. This allows me to have the toms much more playable in their lower position. It also looks pretty cool as well.

From the driver's seat....

Cunning hardware solutions - two mounted toms, a roland pad and a cymbal all from one Tama uniball stand....
