I like that set-up all around. I have usually used left and right crashes of differing weight but I'm always looking to cut down how much I have to lug. Of course, I haven't been out since May, so wouldn't so much mind to have the opportunity to haul stuff tonight.

Mark,Beautiful set! I'm in the Fullerton Ebony club also. Do you ever use that double tom mount on the bass? If not, why not convert it to a single collet to mount a splash and use that nice knobby mount to hold an L-arm for the ride cymbal (to eliminate the ride stand). I've owned two Rogers basses originally configured for single tom but with the double mount added as a mod by previous owners. I got rid of the double mounts and reconfigured for splashes with no extra mods or drilling....[Attachment: 89755]Just a suggestion if you don't use the double tom mount. I no longer go out with two mounted toms, and as has been noted in Blair's post above, some drummers are no longer using any mounted toms; just bass, snare, and FT. I kind of like this new "minimalism". And I've noticed that a lot of contemporary drummers have abandoned the traditional "downbeat/upbeat" on bass and snare with right hand riding on cymbal and HH in favor of much more imaginative percussion accompaniment. Guess it all depends on the style of music you're playing.Again, beautiful set, but where's the Dyna? ;)Mike
... but even MORE important Mike: What's with the freaking leaves???!!! Is that picture recent??!! SHUDDER.

Nice kit....what is up with the 1 crash though?Been seeing that more and more lately...Ringo influence?I have heard it described like a pianist hitting the same note all night long..it's like...STOP IT!..Hit another fricking note!
It's actually two crash cymbals, I crash on both of them. I usally have another cymbal on my right, but I didn't feel like bringing it.
Btw, it's nothing like a piano player hitting the same note over and over.

Agreed. I've done a bunch of gigs with just a 20" ride and a 15" K Dark Crash. They're cymbals, not piano keys, and who among us can't get at least three different sounds out of one crash cymbal? I will confess though that I once used three different pairs of orchestral crash cymbals for one single piece (Holst's 1st Suite), so I guess there's nothing wrong with indulging our desires for variety.
So what is it like when a piano player does keep hitting the same note over and over? Just listen to Say Something. :p
