How’d you like to play my dream drum set?

Obtaining all of the parts to piece together my dream drum set didn’t come easy, but it’s finally been accomplished as of about March, 2011. I’m not rich, wealthy, or loaded, as well as have a crazy office job or any of that. I simply put my mind to obtaining all the pieces, had a goal, and never stopped pursuing it! Starting the week before New Years of 2010, I was finished with Christmas shopping, and decided to splurge on myself, spending a mere 400 Dollars to get my dream started. It was just a single kick, with 2 mounted toms and 2 floor toms. It was the 2nd kick in 3 months that I bought, as well as my 10th acoustic kit all together. I’m heavily influenced by Mike Portnoy, so my dream was to have the 2 kick drums, creating a miraculous symmetrical look, to a point.
Over a year went by, with no Lime Green Kick drum on Ebay, Craigslist, or google shopping, so I began to give up, when suddenly, I found the next size mounted tom, which they didn’t make unless it was custom made. (8×7, I already had a rare 10×8, and the stock 12×8) I jumped on that, since I figured I’d never see another one again, and about 2 weeks after that, I found the Package Deal of a life time! My kick Drum with the same finish, packed with a matching snare drum (which I didn’t have), and another 14″ floor tom! I just found the package to turn my 6pc Dominion into a 9 pc. Dream! I had to modify the Gong drum, which sounds miraculous, and I have so many add on drums, that I don’t even use now because I have enough already! I have 2 matching (customized to match) concert toms, 6″ and 8″, as well as a 4pc low range octoban set, 2 rototoms (which I absolutely HATE), pdp 10″ mini timbale, and 2 8″ DW mini timbales.

So who would like to play my set? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

For the record, I can’t let anyone play this set. Including everything on the drum carpet, You’re looking at well over $10,000. You can come check out a show that they’re at, though, and I’ll let you get up close in it’s grill:)
