Rune has a mixture of Paistes and Sabians on
his kit, and I even see some electronic goodies as well! |

 |
| My good friend Seppo knows
how to make me smile with pics of his new Yamaha kit, (with super-cool
shorty toms custom worked by himself - yes, that's true!), all
surrounded by Istanbuls.

Ivo sent me a couple of pics of his kits
that he'd like to share with you all:
I've got two drum kits: one is a
slingerland jazz kit with two sabian duo ride cymbals, and old 14'
Zildjian HHats.
Another kit is premier XPK heritage kit,
with pre-split Istanbul cymbals, except the hihat, which is
post-split Istanbul :-)

| Don scored a terrific
Gretsch kit recently, and has it all set up with some new Istanbul Agop
and Bosphorus turks. 24" Agop Turk
Jazz Ride
19" Agop Turk Jazz Ride
18" Agop Turk Crash
14" Bosphorus Turk Dark Hats |

The Istanbul Agop splash
makes all the other pieces sound better. It's the splash I've been
looking for. I wanted the Dave Tough/Don Lamond splash(?) sound as heard
on old Woody Herman records. This nails it. It sounds like breaking
glass. Thanks, Tony!
Left to right:
A Zildjian 18" medium thin crash, Ludwig Accent 16" floor tom, A
Zildjian 20" ride, Percussion Plus 22" bass drum, Pearl oval badge 14"
snare in Red Grain Pearl, Ludwig Accent 12" tom, Istanbul Agop 12" trad
splash (right hand), really old 15" K Zildjian Constantinople (left
hand), 15" UFIP Hi Hats

them all!
21" Istanbul Mehmet
20" Istanbul Agop Sultan
19" Bosphorus trad

For hats I'm just using New Beats, but those Meinl custom style 2s sound
pretty nice!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU AGAIN A
MILLION TIMES for the 26" beauty: this cymbal is definitely the most
complex and mature one I've ever played, I really LOVE this
instrument! So I'm sending you some first pictures of my newborn setup.
The drums BTW are by Starclassic: a special edition set made for display
at the Frankfurt Musik Messe some years ago with a 16" bassdrum, 8" &
10" racktoms, a 12" floortom and a matching 12" snare drum. |

Rob is always sending me new pics of his
kits, and although he wants me to update them and delete the old, I
think they're so unique, I keep adding him again instead!! This time
he writes:Sure to garner mixed
reactions is my Whitney Sidekick Penguin Nesting Kit, which is
essentially a sit-down cocktail kit. Capping these drums off are my
latest acquisitions: 13" Masters Hi-hats, 18" Traditional
Medium-Thin Crash, and 20" Traditional Medium-Thin Ride. They're
beautiful! Thanks as always Tony...my search is over, cut me off.
I'm done lol"

Hello, Tony
The fantastic Agop Vezir ride arrived yesterday. You are right -
that's amazing ride. I like this sound, full of colors.
Here's my setup: (all from cymbalsonly):
SE 13'' Hi-Hat
Alchemy 10'' sizzle bell
12'' Trash hit
Vezir 22'' Jazz ride
SE 16'' Crash
Second Hi-Hat (far right) is an old Agop 14''. I got it about seven
years ago from my teacher, and that's the reason, why I choose Agop,
and why am I so happy now :)
With best regards, Aivars

Hey Tony!
I took a few pics of my kit setup today featuring the newest
addition: 22" Istanbul Agop Sultan Jazz Ride. It sounds great and
looks amazing too. It's a nice compliment to the 21" Zildjian K
Custom Special Dry Ride as well. The kit is a mid-70's era Ludwig
Vistalite (Clear acrylic): 14" × 24" kick, 9" × 13" tom, 16" × 16"
floor tom. I play a 8" × 14" Brady Jarrah Block snare drum. also new
to the setup is the 13" Istanbul Agop Sultan Hi-Hats. Thanks for the
great new piece!

Palo from Slovakia says his Sabian
Manhattan Jazz Crash is sounding better and better with age, and
sent this pic of his kit to share. The kick is an 18x16 made from a
Yamaha floor tom, and says it "plays famously."
