Yes indeed, if you find the Keystone X explanation video I describe what they all are. And yeah, whenever I scale down I try to keep one floor tom on my left to keep as many of the ambidextrous options open to me as I can.

I love his tom work when he was playing the big yellow Gretsch drums. He often would often use tom 1 and tom 3, and then switch to tom 2 and tom 4, and it almost sounded like chords, but played on the drums.

I think you're talking about the 20" Paragon Diamondback china and the 22" Crescent Element china. Are they the ones that have rivets in them?

Yep, I definitely stole it from him, and I also definitely got addicted to it lol.

@@benlokutasmusicchannel5616 That setup is tailor-made for open-handed style of playing, ambidextrous drumming. Also, I really like the tuning of your drums

@@luislaureano228 Thank you very much! The cable hihat stands make a huge difference, they mean I can put the cymbals anywhere I want while pedal is where it normally is.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Yeah, I haven't quite dialed the production in yet for the bass drum, but I do need have both low end and click once I try to put it in a mix with the rest of the band, otherwise it's hard to hear the articulation of what's being played.

You're most welcome lol!

Thank you very much, I appreciate it!

I'm glad you enjoyed the playing! As it happens, if I have opportunity to bring my kit with any of the 5 bands I play in, I rarely scale down the drums. My goal is always to play as melodically as possible, and this setup allows me to do that. Sometimes I scale down the number of cymbals, but usually I bring all 4 hihats, and at least 4 other cymbals with me. You can find examples of the kit I tend to travel with if you check out some of the other videos on my channel, and you can also find any other my bands by looking up either Herd of Bison, Walk Me Home, Enfierce, The Ugly Cowboys, or The Cuz.

That's a customized version of the Sabian 18" AA sick hats. It's the same cymbal formula for the top and bottom cymbals, although the one on my left includes HH hammering and the aero hole pattern instead of what it is normally. The normal sick hats are the dark ones on my right for reference.

For real lol, it's definitely a lot of fun to play.

Thank you very much! And yes, riding on the gong is always fun, it's such a nice sound to get to play on.

I move the trash kat drum out of the way, and then squeeze through in order to get in and out. Although now I've changed the room setup, so I no longer have to do that. If you look at the Lord Buffalo series of videos, you can see how things are set up now.

There's four of them in this video, all of them are Sabian. On my right above is the 19" Paragon china. On my left are the 20" Paragon Diamondback china, the 22" Crescent Element china, and a custom 22" version of the 19" Paragon china. I'm glad you like them, they're definitely a lot of fun to play on.

Thank you very much! I try to use everything as purposefully as possible, so I'm glad it translates.

And symmetrical movements are fun to play as well!

Sorry about that, I was trying not to be boring lol. I'll make a series of videos going into detail within the next couple of weeks.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!

Excellent! Those are all good bands, it's good to be in that category.

Thank you very much, I love this setup. It gives so many possibilities to follow the rest of the music in unique and unconventional ways, as well as all the normal ways too.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much, stay tuned. Coming soon is a video where I go through everything that's in the setup.

Um, that's what happens when I look around while I'm playing?

Dude, it did though! And the beacons on the chorus.

Definitely, also when the rap comes in along with the bass line. Love the funk it takes on.
