(Uncle Steves mid-life crises drumset) Zildjian 20 Ping Ride riveted...(don't 
ask....got a good deal) for rock the Ping is boring, yet decent for jazz/blues. 
18" K Zildjian crash/ride..purchased a Gibralter boom stand for the 18..since 
this only comes with the hihatt,one cymbal, mounting hdwr, and bass pedal. just 
got a medium duty double braced stand.....Now the 14" hihatts were 
used......yet never used by this guy....so for 20 bucks I got a set of Zilco 
hatts.......not too good, but neither am I :) anyway....like the mesh heads 
that come along with the regular heads.....but I still enjoy alienating the 
adjacent condo-complex residents.  Nice thing is, it slides under the piano 
nicely...when I need to see the TV. 20x8 halfshell bass-drum, as well as three 
half-shell Toms. Comes with a 13" pic. type snare, but got a Slingerland higher 
quality 14" from music yo...pretty good prices on certain items...but I'm glad 
I didn't get suckered into one of their "jam session" toy kits...Slingerland 
doesn't make Radio King quality anymore...lot's of entry level stuff tho, same 
with Ludwig..Anyway, the Pearl set is a decent ply///albeit only 6 
lugs...anyway just figured I'd tell ya' that I finally graduated to level of "A 
Drummer".....<ducking>
Btw...got some guitar stuff too...but that's another day :) Still attempting to 
do small tech jobs with the guitars...ie...blocking the tremsetter vibrato area 
by sawing down door molding...etc :)
