What kynd of drums?

[Where's One?]

Anybody out there using an electronic kit, for practice or even gigs? Or has anybody tried this? Just wondered.

How the hell did you measure the four millisecond delay between the time you hit the head and the time you hear the signal? Go on, scare me with some techy stuff!

I'm currently using the V-drum Pro as my practice kit and for teaching lessons. It's a great tool and fantastic for jamming at 4AM in a very quiet neighborhood (under headphones that is). It's also nice for doing some headphone rehearsals with some of my bands. The downside is a 4 millisecond delay between the time you hit the head and the time you hear the signal. (I actually measured this.) This delay drives me moderately nuts! For this reason, I never plan on taking them to a gig. Long live acoustics!

My drums are an older <strike> Mickey Mouse set</strike> recording custom kit I got in the late 80's. I was all into Neil Peart then so I got a 24" kick. Standard size toms. 10, 12, 15. My friend Sam says my 15" is magical and unlike most other 15's. Still have the same drums. They rock.
My Hi hats are a pair of 13" new beats that I got in MID 80's (thanks again Neil). They are dirty, old and great sounding. Various rides, A-custom projection crashes (they own), 19" K-China brilliant (GOOSH).

You'd play hell getting my mid-seventies Rogers five-piece away from me.Big R badges, Memriloc hardware. Standard sizes,12,13,16,22inch kick.Covered in a butcher-block formica which I for years didn't care for but now looks curiously elegant.Got a Dyna-Sonic, too, but I no longer use it. A few years back I lucked onto another mid-seventies drum, a six-and-a-half inch deep Tama Superstar. Birch shell,die-cast rims,snares that go all the way across the head.Deep snare beds.Nice.Lots of AZ cymbals,(nineteen at last count)I figure if my wife can have sixteen pairs of black shoes.....

Picked up the (then-new, now-"vintage") Premier "Jazz Quartet" last year, been playing them nonstop. Giant sound out of tiny drums (that fit in the tiny space I have for em.) 18 inch bass, 12, 14 toms, 14x5.5 snare. (Evans heads all around!) LP Matador Bongos, tumba to my left, and one of those Pearl single drumset timbales. (GREAT sound for the price).
Sabian cymbals: HH Manhattan Groove Hats, HH Manhattan Ride, 17" AA Fast crash, 10" HH Splash. And an old A Zildjian ride my high school band teacher let me walk with. cracked, dark, dirty...great as an "effect-y" jazz ride.

that's just about it!
