A good starter thread for any Brand New Forum.
I'm Paul Marshall from N Ireland. I have been building Drumdojo for about a decade and I'm delighted to launch this new Percussion Forum _base_d around almost a half a million words of content.
On to my drums
My #1 kit is by Spiritdrums of Australia. Its gorgeous (reviewed on site)
20x16
14x12
12x10
10x8
14x6.5
My #2 Kit is a Pearl Masters Custom in Piano Lacquer Black. Same diameters as the Spirit Set maybe a little longer in the shell depth.
I've had most of my cymbals for 25+ years, old A & K zildjians, some sabians plus a few authentic and trash items.
I use, endorse and occasionally design for Protection Racket Cases and I really do believe they are the dogs!
As well as running Drumdojo, I run Bodojo, the bodhran site, they are intended to have a common visual theme btw!
Don't start me talking about bodhrans
I play with
Different Drums of Ireland where my main instrument is the djembe although until recently I played basic kick, snare & hats along with that.
I'm an instrument designer with my own small manufacturing business and I occasionally undertake custom design work for private clients such as Stomp or for the Movies. I'll play anything as a percussion instrument. I'm playing almost 40 years although not yet 45 and love my drumming.
