Hi everyone, I am new and want to introduce myself. Tanker300 means my reeftank is 300 gallons so this is why but I am a new drummer and take lesson every week with a professional drummer and practice 2 hours a night. My kit is a 7 piece pearl ex with all A custom Zildians and beautiful baby 19" ride. I have the DW 9000 base pedal and 9000 hi hats stand nd all DW cymbal stands. I use the powerstroke 3 on toms and powerstroke 4 for snare-oh my snare is a 14x6.5 metal snare and really pops great. I will post pics later. I really love forums for learning everything, this one seem right on.

Welcome to our little forum of DOOM!........no, it's not really a forum of doom. What style of music do you plan on playing once you're ready to jam?

Tanker300--I hate you--(not really--just jealous of your equipment at your age). Welcome aboard. Nice to have you in the group. Tell us more about yourself. Great to hear about your practice level.

I love classic rock-Boston,AC/DC,Dokken ect. I am really picky about sound so I spend quite a bit of money until I found the perfect cymabals A Customs, I have the 12,13,14,15,16,17,18 and they are just beautiful every time I hit them. Even when I was younger when I listened to music I was always focused on the drums and beats. I also played gutair for a couple years but it was really boring to me, Now drums is a different story. But I truley like the best of everything, I did try the Axis long pedal bass and hi hats and those things are for pros only, super fast and very sensitive. I then went to my drum shop and test the DW9000s and what a difference

Hello again -man of many crashes. Glad you joined us. OH! By the way what the heck is a reeftank. Sounds like an ashtray for illegal tobacco man.

I love the a custom sound and had to have most of them, every single one sounds so nice and clean and very crisp.

Sounds like a sick setup yo. Give us a listen if you get a chance. Speaking of, I really need to buy a camcorder.
