If I still have the files, I can surely fill up this section with some sick pics and other goodies.

Here is a pic of 4 of my 7 Green beauties.





And 5 of my 7 plus goodies

YOU --- have given the GASMASTER---------------

DRUM GAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Adrian that is nothing. At one time, I had upwards of 5-6 high end Pearl kits at one time. Around 40 some drums.
I was like you however in that flipping yielded me lots of basically free stuff.

Free stands, cymbals, cases to store and transport stuff in and now I am back to the inventory costing me phase with the Rogers kits.
Have to spend some cash on wrap for my former blue toms and maybe some for that 22 inch Silver Sparkle kick I am waiting on.
It looks like it needs a few mounting parts as well.

Hope to spruce up enough Rogers drums to make some kits to sell off.
 
My latest Rogers drum has arrived from UPS. Better late than never, hopefully.

Crossing my fingers that it is not too much of a piece of crap aged abuse and missing parts wise.
Almost afraid to open it.
 
Tore drum apart, Adrian. The dang thing has 20 bass drum T Rods. 15 of the 20 were bent and need straightening.
Need to buy a few parts and a new front head.

Also Adrian, I have to get my girlfriend's phone and make quality pics and load em to my puter, maybe tomorrow.

I need to find some better pics but here is my 'I wish I could play like Neil Peart' kit over a friends house about 6 years ago. Tama Rockstar kit with 3 rack toms and an 18 inch floor.

image.jpeg Here's my kit. A cheap electronic kit originally bought for my son, but he lost interest. I started messing around and was hooked!
 
Ive thought about one of them electric kits ---- hows it sound ---really--???
 
If I'm bold enough I will post a real world example of my Roland TD-4 brain/kit from years back so you can hear how it sounds. With the low end Roland kits a trained ear will notice the difference between real drums and e drums...no doubt. Roland hasn't updated their synthesized kits/sounds in years.

If I have my story straight, Roland uses synthesized waveforms instead of samples of actual drum kits unlike other companies. That said, thanks to the miracle of MIDI you could buy a low end Roland kit and connect it to a laptop running software like BFG to trigger real world samples. You can actually buy professionally recorded kits from the likes of Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland, etc. that can be triggered through a drum module/e-kit.

Currently my edrum kit consists of used Roland Mesh Pads, used Yamaha cymbal triggers (better and cheaper than Roland counterparts), a Roland VH-11 hi-hat trigger, and Roland TD-4 and TD-6 modules.
 
Agree 100%. Definitely not your typical organic sounds, but not too bad. A trained ear can definitely tell the difference, but when played alongside other instruments, it's a fairly decent rendition of real acoustic drums.
