 Building my own Custom Kit
Hey Guys
I'm wanting to start building my own custom kit. BUT, I want a few peoples opinions on how you like your drum sizes. Might try something different 
Im looking to do a 6 piece kit. Snare, 3 rack toms, floor tom and bass. So tell me, what are your ideal sizes?

Diecast hoops are $45-$50 EACH. Just keep that in mind.

I'd go with something like this:
22x18
8x8
10x8
14x14(w/ legs)
16x14(w/ legs)
14x5
I know it's not 2 up 2 down, but that's what I'd get

Yeah, and it's easier to find 14" heads in mom and pop stores.

Depending on the styles you play just a 22x18 kick(s), 8",10",12" and 16" for toms or like you said with the 10,12,13 and 16 toms. Snare could be 10000 different choices.
