Enjoy these pictures!
I apologize if they stretch out.





My friend gave this to me, because he got bored at his print shop, fit perfectly!








And here's a picture of my best friend that enjoys dancing when I play.


Drum Set:
Ludwig Accent Kit
22" x 16" Bass Drum
16" x 16" Floor Tom
13" x 11" Rack Tom
14" x 6.5" Snare
Fitted with Aquarian Studio Rings and Coated 2-ply Remo Heads, except the Snare, which I still have to do.

Sonor Mini Congas
8" and 9"
I got them by trading in my 12" x 10" rack tom to my local music store and paying $90 extra.

Cymbals:
14", 16", 18" Sabian B8 Crashes
14" Hi Hats
20" Ride
10" Splash
18" Saluda Voodoo China

Misc:
Tambourine (First Drum Related thing I ever got!)
Travis Barker Sticks (Has tape on the one stick so I can handle it better, I have a thing for hitting my snare with the thick end.)

I know my kit is filled with beginner stuff, but its works out well for me.
I plan on trading in my cymbals for Saluda Cymbals when I get older, and I don't think I'm going to upgrade the drums until I move out.

Lol. The bird seriously loves to dance when I play.

I can't wait to do gigs with this kit. I want to see what people think about my bass head.

new sticks maybe?

The same thing happened to my old cymbals, but it was from a crappy snare batter. The coating rubbed off onto the sticks, then off the sticks onto my cymbals.

Well it all started when I started using the Travis Barker sticks.
But now I don't know. Stick Marks are always going to get on my cymbals.
The flash on the camera just emphasizes it.

It might be your snare batter.

I aggree with cheerful, I have a ludwig accent custom and it came with the same crappy stock heads most kits come with, and i noticed the more the coated batter on my snare thinned, the more marked my cymbals got. lol.

You need a new snare head, that's for sure.

We should start a revolution. Putting random old people's faces on our bass drums.

And seriously? I have to check that out!

Nice, I want to add some world percussion to my kit as well. On the subject of putting faces on the resonant head of bass drums, how do you go about doing it?

I plan to add real congas and some bongos onto my kit as well. As well as many drum toys, like the flex-a-tone, cowbells, jam blocks, vibra-slaps, I might even need to take an old pot, drill a hole into it, and mount it onto a cymbal stand. (I'm also looking into ways to replicate the hammer sound from the Beatles song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" without having to use a real hammer.)

Well my friend printed the head on a poster at his print shop, and gave it to me free so I could cut it in a circle. That's the real cheap way of doing it.

But to get the head by itself, I went on google, looked up something like "random old man", and found William Allen White. So I used Photoshop, erased the background, and enlarged his face to like 1000 pixels wide, and used many different filters to not make it all pixel-ly.

Then you laugh and show your friends the picture, and maybe if he works at a print shop (or if you have $100), you can get it onto your bass drum head.

When I get my DW, I'm going to order a real one with his face, and replace the Ludwig logo with a DW one.
But then there's the port holes....

That's not the actual bass head. It's a cheap poster taped onto it.

I'm a fan of percussion toys as well. But I don't know how to mount them. Would airbrushing a resonant head affect the sound at all? There's an airbrushing place at all mall nearby, all though, I'd look a bit weird carrying a resonant head around. I recently got an LP Cowbell, it's really fun to screw around with.

I don't think many people will know that that finger print has to do with the mole...

That's why we have things called signatures.

Show where people win money (but there's one person sabotaging it, they have to find out who it is.)
The ratings have gone down, and there is a campaign trying to save it.
