I have only been on the bass for a few years and no way do i consider myself a 'bass player' but i have been behind the drums since I was 12 and I am 54 now..
I studied as a teenager and have played many styles including orchestral percussion, big band , rock, funk etc but have always concentrated on what i was bought up with ..Jazz ..
I am currently with a gigging quartet doing bebop etc.....
Here is my peach of a bebop kit..
Pearl Masters custom maple (with cast hoops) 18"x14" bass, 12"x10" tom and 14"x14" fl tom.
The snare in this photo is a premier maple modern classic 14"x5.5"..
The cymbals are zildjian ..19" armand "beautiful baby" ride with 3 rivets,,,18" flat ride (1970s) with 4 rivets...18" crash ride and 13"
new beat hi hats...
Premier 6000 series hardware ,DW 5000 bass pedal....
Tama "first chair" throne (seat to non drumists-))
Just recently I have bought a K custom dark 20" ride, 18" crash and 13" hi hats...which cost a small fortune.......
I also have a Pearl masters custom maple snare 14"x5" with cast hoops and a 1967 RM "supersensitive "chrome over brass 14"x5" snare with cast hoops..
I use a Roland td9kv for home practice..
The bass is a 1996 Fender MIJ.(now gone).. .
