Well, I finally got all the pieces for my kit and actually set it up in its entirety for the first time, including the Demon Drives. Well...I'm sure there will be more pieces later...there always is lol. GAS!!!! Since I had never set up all the cymbals and stands nor the pedals I needed to see how everything would fit and mark the cymbal stands wherever I don't have memory locks. The HH stand pedal is different from where it is on my e kit and the practice e kit I use at my bandmate's house...taking some time to get used to moving my foot over to find the bass pedal. Might have to get a new HH stand, I prefer the HH closer to the snare drum but am used to the bass pedal to the right of it, not left. I really think I'm going to enjoy the new Mike Portnoy Stax cymbal I added.
I installed the Trick quick lock/release devices for all the cymbal stands except the Stax. Makes it so fast for set up and tear down. I'm keeping the regular threaded turn knob on the Stax so I can keep a fair amount of tension on that cymbal as it requires it. For those that don't like a rack, check out the first set up pic. Lots of hardware!
Rock and roll baby!! First gig with my new band Alter Ego is on June 28th!

If I ever get out that way it would be an honor to hang out with you. Sadly...I don't think it will be as soon as June though..unless I win the lottery or something cool like that ..and then I will be traveling all over thew world visiting my v-drum family.
