Nice, Jeppe! I just got this bad boy not too long ago. I haven't had this many drums since high school, always wanted the classic 2 up 2 down. And now, I can keep my 4 piece Ludwigs in cases ready to go for gigs rather than tearing down and loading up and then not setting them back up in my basement for days because I'm lazy. Also bought a 22" K Light Ride from Nelson drum shop that opened literally 3 blocks from my house that really isn't light at all. It's more medium and has a great bell and I love it, but if I would've ordered it online and expected a truely "light" ride I would've been really upset. Support your local drum shops!

Nice Tom !!!
It's exactly what I do, I have a drum (very ugly) in my practice room, in the same sitting than your, 2 racks, 2 floors, 2 crashes, 1 ride and hi-hat...
Most of the time, I'd say 90% of the gigs I do in my area, I play now just with one ride, BD (18" with double head on almost all situation), snare, and hi-hat, my back is happy !!!
To this day I still not understand why people come after the gig and they tell me : "when I saw your drum, I was sceptical, then I saw/heard you, I was blown away..."
And I'm clearly not a genius behind the drums, damn...

Ha! I do the same shit, Rodge! And usually it's the bass player or singer that says, "that's all you have?" and I say trust me, you won't miss the other stuff. And at the end they're always like, "you were right!"

TOM, MY MAN !!!!!!!!!!
Yummy, and that Ludwig snare looks great too !!!

PS : musicians with who I play often know me, they don't care...
But, sometimes when I want to come with just a snare and brushes, they say no, I think that they say no because they are jealous that I can deliver with almost nothing, pricks...

That's hilarious and probably true.

A drummer with less gear than the other musicians, they are jealous, now we finally can take care of the chicks after the gigs !!!!

Guilty pleasure...
