My New Drum Set

My New Drum Set

I know a certain SOMEONE will love to hear that I bought a new drum set, and I think it’s funny that it’ll be a “surprise” through my website. But I did indeed buy a new drum set. For those who care it is an OCDP kit. Orange County Drum & Percussion, they’ve been my dream drum set since I’ve started playing. It’s weird to finally own one because at the time I was in Junior High watching people like Travis Barker, and Adrian Young play on their OCDP kits. I loved their sounds, especially snares, so I was excited about their drums until I noticed their price tags… OUCH. Now that I’ve gained employment and have been playing a lot of drums for John Tibbs, I thought it time to upgrade my kit. I haven’t told any of my band members that it’s here, so SURPRISE to you as well.

The kit was on sale, I splurged, it’s arrived and it looks fantastic! There are a few pictures of the rack tom below. The sizes are in order; 10×8 rack,16×14 floor tom, 22×20 kick. I listed the size of the heads first then depth of the drum, I’m not sure if that’s the correct way but now you know. I can’t wait to get some different heads on it and start getting the kit broke in. I need to also get a second snare stand and hi hat stand for the kit to be complete. Now I’m off to put my old kit together and sell her off! Check out the pictures below and let me know what you think.

  • Congrats on the new kit. Girlfriends, fiancés, and wives don't get it. We guys need our toys. Next on my horizon... the Liverpool...

  • No kidding! There should be a revolt sometime in the future, guys get to spend money on their toys.

    BTW, what makes that Liverpool kit worth 3000? Besides that Ringo played one similar to it? Holy smokes.
  • I'm pretty sure you are an extreme example when it comes to guys buying toys. :) Is this what causes most financial disagreements in marriages? Probably so! What's a girl to do?
  • RYAN RAY! You are such a b-r-a-t. Everyone is going to think you are a drug seller or something... first an iMac, then a 7D, and now this. I'm starting to question it actually... I did see that rubber band you know... JK! But I do hope this isn't from your camera fund, otherwise I'll be adding interest !!!!

    How funny that I would see this post right after what I posted! :) CONFIRMED!

    Love you sugar plum :) hahah

    P.S.- Congrats on your new purchase! At least this purchase is justified since you ARE a professional drummer and all.

    I really do love you regardless of whether we'll live in a box someday or not. IF there is room for me that is...
  • I need to have professional tools if I am to be a professional and taken seriously ;)
