I still like my beat to shit Pearl kit. I have a bunch of stuff in storage, though. Few different setups. You play, too?
Nice setup
Yamaha Stage Custom with an extra Tama Superstar floor tom for the boom boom on my snare side. Only playing one rack tom right now but that changes, too. DW double kick. Left handed but play right, well, a mix of both I guess, I have remote hats and keep them on the right side because I find it easier to play the faster, techy stuff. Similar music, actually, lots of punk and thrash and such. But I do love me some good old funk or blues, too. I keep the cymbals on a pearl rack, super cheap, I think around $150 new.
I built the kit over many years, started with the Yamaha shells (5). Bought lots of used stuff except for cymbals, I break them fast enough already. Mostly Z's and K's but some Meinl and Sabian mixed in.
*Steve Gadd Maple snare, and a Pearl Piccolo. I took the wood hoops from the Gadd and put them on the piccolo just to change it up, sounds pretty snappy.
