I know I should make my update in the kit library but we can upload only one pic.
I have made several update/upgrade over the last year, first I got my first double pedal as a DW7002PT. Some gift from the seller came with the pedal (baseball cap & Cannon drop clutch).
Then I, in that time I have decided to downsize my kit so I went into the Garibaldi size in a 1 Up 2 Down. (10" - 13" - 16")
During the summer I have build my own custom double pedal practice pad which I brought with me on my camping trip.
I have bought some stuff here and there. Trying the Steve Gadd sig stick for the first time and very pleased with them. I have replaced the cheap Cannon drop clutch by a Gibraltar and found a deal on the Pro Mark sticks holder.
In Late september I got my hand on a brand new in the box Mapex Pro M snare in cherry fade. The size is 5.5 x 14 and got it for 70$ cdn.
Three week before Christmas I made myself one little gift for only 14$ cdn.
It's an in excellent condition PAISTE 8" Accent cymbal.
And finally I've got money as Christmas gift so I ordered on Boxing day some gears to help me (I hope) playing better. 2 pairs of Vic Firth SSG (yes I like their softer feel and they are very well balanced), 1 pair
of Pro Mark Simon Philips sig (wood tip), A TAMA Rhythm Watch RW105 and the Vic Firth Stereo Isolation head phone.
That's about it now

Lookin good my man. I bet that pedal is the shizz.
Thank's
Much better than the stock one coming with my kit. I had some hard time adapting to the smoothness of that pedal but now it's OK and they feel better and better under my feet.

Seriously I have thought to keep it for when I'm custom make my aux. hat with cable (it's pretty much easy to build but the wallet is empty )
I myself have just gone through the process of getting a rack, finding workable tom mounts (got new DW shells in Nov.), and am now wishing I had photo-documented the changes in my own kit over those two months. Having just gotten a rack after 15 years of trying to piece cymbal stands together without their legs clipping each other... I don't know why I waited so long!
What is that double-kick pedal practice pad made from? It looks choice.

Thank's for the nice words.
The pad is, first, made of wood but the beater pad are hockey soft rubber puck (not the hard one used on pro ice hockey) which I cutted in half and glued with bulldog grip. All in for all it cost me 5$ and three hours of my time.
Nice trimmed grass(camp ground) if I wanted a portable double bass pad i might have to use hard pucks, so im sticking with my chair(i want to keep my hockey pucks)
