    I also use a Kelley Shu in my kit with a D6, and have also drilled an XLR plug into the shell on my gigging kit, and that has been a game changer. It's a great setup for a working drummer!!

    I live in the Midwest so cold travels for gigs in the winter season. The standard Home Depot style black rubber floor mats tend to freeze up in the winter months, i.e. you’re not rolling that thing out for at least twenty minutes when you get to the gig. So I bought a gently used commercial quality floor mat from a Cintas guy for 20 bucks. Soft rubber composite that won’t freeze up.

    Love this video! I arrived at my optimum sizes too- very similar to yours as well! My is a 20 by 12 bd,12 by 8 rack Tom,and a 14 by 12 Floor Tom. I used to use an old Ludwig Clubdate kit,but then DW put out the Frequent Flyer with the HVLT shells,with lower the fundamental pitch of each drum so,to me,they sound like a size larger on each drum! Then I use ultra lightweight stands,2 amazing crash rides,or the Zildjian Constantinople series in medium to medium low weights. I love the supraphonic snare,or the tama Peter Erskine 4 by 14 wood hybrid model.

  • @soulproprietor

    I'm just enough of a working drummer to need to think a bit ahead about whatever might be needed (or go wrong) on my next gig and plan accordingly. I have modified, tweaked and upgraded many of the parts on many Ludwig drums and kits over the years. I love that you address ( and come up with sound solutions ) to many of the challenges working drummers face on actual gigs. THANKS! This is so well produced, informative and thorough. However, I have found that while adding schlepping weight, (which sucks a bit more with every year older I get), 2.3mm drum hoops actually produce a LOWER tone than their thinner vintage-style counterparts. Now I need to retest this! Anyway, thanks for this great video!

    pretty close to my gig kit.. i build it myself, and it out performs any stock kit I ever tried/took years of experiments with wood and bearing edges). (diameter x depth) 12x8, 15x15, 22x15 (just love that low end wooof it gives me), supra 1964, and a few other snares I carry in my trunk just in case. 4,5 mm shells with re-rings. Weighs close to nothing. Gibraltar flat base stands, but yamaha 700 series hihat and snare stand.. just more flexible and weighs about the same.
    fun to see another drummers take on it. And Ludwig also sounds awesome. I sometime also bring my 12,14,20 vintage Ludwig Standard kit. Because of the lighter hardware it also weighs a LOT less than a normal Ludwig.

    Sounds like you are an endorsement king! My go to kit is a '69 Ludwig 3 ply. Built in mufflers, high pitch absorbing mahog/poplar/clear maple shells. lightweight but sturdy '69 Atlas hardware with a Yamaha single brace HH. Supra and Jazz fest snares. Swivo, Speed King, Slingerland Yellow Jacket pedals. Single brace Lud. throne. I play the Hollwood, 4 or 5 pc. depending on gig. Soft bags (more compact) same deal on the rug! Jam block and cow bell clamped to cym. stand next to HH. 3 cym stands max. Lightweight and pretty compact! Most gigs with this, but on swing gigs, I use '48 RK's. 'Use to have 5 kits, now just these two. You are an excellent player! Cheers!

      A few things I love about the D6: it's relatively inexpensive, it's lightweight, and it has a sound that just says "Kick Drum" without any additional processing - especially on those smaller shows where there's not a FOH tech and the artist is mixing the show themselves. Set it and forget it!

    I've been using ONE kit for EVERYTHING for the past 16 years, since I built it in 2006. I made it with custom Tempus fiberglass shells, which have a very wide tuning range, 10-12-14-22 (all standard depths), and a 5.5 x 14 Pearl Sensitone Brass snare. I don't change a thing about it, only the tuning.
    The notion that you need all different kits for different gigs is really just a crock o'sh_t.

    • @DylanWissing

      Agreed, especially for the types of gigs I do. If I were on an arena tour, I'd probably bring something more massive, but the fact that almost this entire kit can live in the trunk of my car counts for an awful lot!

    Great informative video. I especially like that little trick of putting cloth 'dampers' inside of the toms sure beats putting external damping like moongel or pieces of duct tape on the heads. I have a Sonor 'Bop' kit the toms need new batter heads when I change the heads will try that trick. Like that leather piece too to prevent 'snare bite' on the rack tom..I have a Rogers kit the rack tom has 'snare bite' blemishes will keep that in mind to prevent further damage. Nothing like tips from a regular gigging drummer. Thanks for the great info.

    I like the idea I'd down size more to a floor tom bass drum and mount the snare to a boom arm clamped onto the hihat stand with a smaller snare has a vertical mount like a 10 inch shell. That way you carry a smaller amount and smaller size equipment ditch the hardware.

    Thanks for the awesome video, Dylan. Based your experience, what sizes would you recommend if I just have one drum set for gigging AND for recording? (Diameter and depth), playing mostly rock, pop, blues, singer/songwriter stuff, and some jazz standards, nothing too hardcore heavy or bebop. I assume you still recommend the classic maples. Also for snares, if I just have 2 snares (wood tone and metal tone), what sizes and snares would you recommend? I have been struggling with this decision for a long time and I’d appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance!
