this is my Drum Workshop touring setup, pretty much only comes out of the cases to go on stage or in the studio, It could use some cleaning and a little love at this point. my practice kit is great too it's an old premier xpk but I'll describe that later. this is the kit as I purchased it, nowadays I play it as a four piece...more on that later
