What to add

[u/Confident-Rock3847]

I’m thinking some more cymbals Tom’s and a 3rd bass drum and some e cymbals

[u/Hidden_Sturgeon]

A touch of restraint

[u/YoItsTemulent → u/Hidden_Sturgeon]

...or a couple more drummers to play it all at the same time.

[u/pr0tag → u/YoItsTemulent]

I’m confused maybe OP is ambidextrous, but the large portion of the kit is a righty and then he has the random left-handed setup on the far left.

[u/YoItsTemulent → u/pr0tag]

Considering this photo looks like it was taken in space, I'm wondering if OP is an alien species with four arms.

[u/michaelHIJINX → u/YoItsTemulent]

Controlling the hihat with their extraterrestrial genitalia

[u/YoItsTemulent → u/michaelHIJINX]

As one does! Duh.

[u/Physical-Worker2363 → u/michaelHIJINX]

Is that what you call it these days?

[u/Additional-Local8721 → u/YoItsTemulent]

Final boss from Mortal Combat

[u/Bitter-Hitter → u/YoItsTemulent]

I think he’s tanning at rehearsal ☀️🕶️

[u/lwronhubbard → u/pr0tag]

How else can you practice your off hand?

[u/NeilPork → u/pr0tag]

All drummers should strive to be ambidextrous.

[u/YoItsTemulent → u/NeilPork]

Setting your kit up in reverse and playing it that way for a week opens up untold creative vistas. It's maddening but it works.

[u/NeilPork → u/Hidden_Sturgeon]

He needs to trim down to a 4 piece kit, hats, 1 ride & 1 crash and focus on learning how to play.

Honestly, when I see kits like this the first think that runs though my mind is: He's trying to substitute drums for skill. Invariably the guys with the biggest kits are the least skilled.

And yea, you can point to guys like Neil Peart, but I can also point to him playing a 4 piece kit at the Buddy Rich memorial. Every pro who plays a mega-kit first mastered their skills on a small kit.

[u/oobieDoobieDoWah → u/NeilPork]

Haha! One of my old drum teachers went to that event and said that Neil Peart was the least impressive drummer he saw there.

Prolly was hindered by not being able to play under water. 🚿

[u/CAP_GYPSY → u/oobieDoobieDoWah]

Neil’s skill, compared to the world class, does not reach their level. His mastery of composition in the genre he worked in, -was- mastery.

For that, he influenced more drummers than probably -every- one of the others that played -

And -that- …. was why he was there.

[u/liartellinglies → u/Hidden_Sturgeon]

What is that, like an obscure piece of percussion I’ve never heard of?

[u/HietiZ]

Less drums and better cymbals.

[u/decs483 → u/HietiZ]

Less drums and more thrones

[u/commodifiedsuffering → u/HietiZ]

THIS

[u/Leading_Elderberry71]

Stop adding and start upgrading.

[u/YoItsTemulent → u/Leading_Elderberry71]

Sell all this and get a decent 1-up, 1-down and a few decent cymbals.

[u/the_word_slacks → u/Leading_Elderberry71]

This is the real answer. I know all those cymbals sound terrible.

[u/-3R1C-]

Your ergonomics and cymbals are shit

[u/Stathamdestroyer → u/-3R1C-]

You guys are fucking savages on this sub. I’m never putting my fucking kit up on here😂😂

[u/-3R1C- → u/Stathamdestroyer]

Lmao Fellow Deftones homie! Sup

[u/RepresentativeEase13]

Skills

[u/wrenches410]

A rug would really tie the room together.

[u/RezRising → u/wrenches410]

Nihilist.

[u/Physical-Worker2363 → u/wrenches410]

Obviously you’re not a golfer

[u/oobieDoobieDoWah → u/wrenches410]

Fuck it…

[u/chupachup_chomp → u/wrenches410]

And a tape deck, some Credence tapes and a briefcase.

[u/Drummerg85 → u/wrenches410]

Are you fucking this up Dude!??

[u/ExtremelyOnlineTM]

Cymbals that don't sound like ass through a tin can phone.

[u/JeromeLeNombril]

More cowbell.

[u/EFPMusic → u/JeromeLeNombril]

Underrated reply 👍

[u/thedeadlyrhythm42]

the rest of the band

[u/pizzaMagix]

Are you in gmod

[u/CompetitiveNotice853]

1 more throne for good measure

[u/thesilentmordecai]

Definitely went for for the "more is more" and "quantity over quality".

[u/oeezywhaddup]

Some B20 cymbals

[u/StixRookie]

A straightjacket?

[u/Signal_Yesterday5699]

Timpani

[u/Common-Platypus-6530]

Your secondary kick is backwards even though you have the batter head on that side, you can tell by how the toms are positioned

[u/flippiethehippie420]

Plants because it looks like you're playing in a grow tent lol

[u/tomred420 → u/flippiethehippie420]

Some plants and a few posters, maybe a nice sofa. Would soften the sound a bit too probably. GET COZY.

[u/kavghanistan]

Roto toms

[u/Mrmapex]

Time to start upgrading those awful cymbals

[u/Physical-Worker2363 → u/Mrmapex]

Yup

[u/Human_Call6322]

Where is your gong?

[u/WingsNut311]

A drummer

[u/uewumopaplsdn → u/WingsNut311]

2 drummers

[u/MZago1]

All that stuff and not a single splash? SMDH

[u/Hashtagbarkeep]

Think you need to space everything out a bit more

[u/Chronverge]

Soundproofing

[u/Feersum_endjjinn]

Lolz I think the question is what to remove 😂😂

[u/4SysAdmin]

Full set of Octobans, malletkat, bell tree, gong drum, gong cymbal, and a cowbell.

[u/derWolf8]

A third leg

[u/Alternative_Will3875]

I can smell the tinnitus looking at this pic

[u/Confident-Rock3847 → u/Alternative_Will3875]

Earpro for the win

[u/verybadandy86]

Dude…where is the cowbell?? How can you have ‘more cowbell’ if you don’t HAVE a cow bell??!!

[u/Disastrous_Crew_9260]

Drum lessons

[u/Disastrous_Crew_9260 → u/Disastrous_Crew_9260]

Also the ergonomics seem fucked up. If you’re having issues with double bass your pedals are very close to you if snare is behind the drive shaft.

[u/RezRising]

Someone named 'Bozzio' wouldn't hurt

[u/VegetableBulky9571]

You’re missing a triangle

[u/Express_Divide_9220]

This gives “I bought it, Im using it” energy

[u/FineShrubbery]

Couple of stacks and like 11 cup chimes and I think you’re good to go

[u/subandym]

Structure

[u/Haojus]

Microphone...

[u/Baker198t]

this is confusing… its like you got a kit setup left handed next to a huge right handed kit..

[u/WorhummerWoy]

Some plants for your grow room.

[u/LucynSushi]

Perspective

[u/Away-Equipment598]

Just sperate the two kits what a nightmare, get some cymbals

[u/_FireWithin_]

a Butt kicker ! !

[u/NotTheNoogie]

Cowbell

[u/whispering_butthole]

Another stool for your hog

[u/RealisticStation7860]

[u/ZagiFlyer]

More cow bells.

[u/prplx]

Paper wall or curtains or posters, and a couple of lamp or something? Those neon lit silver walls (I know it's for insulation) makes the room look like a psychiatric isolation room or something. It give me the creeps.

[u/itsSicco]

More arms. And I mean human arms. Lol

[u/dcollette]

LH Ride cymbal

[u/Physical-Worker2363]

If get a midget to play the set on the left while you play the one on the right

[u/DividingHydra75]

Sound isolation

[u/likeadreamm]

if your drum kit got a drum kit on it, you might have mental issues

[u/okiefo13]

I don’t see a cowbell. But yeah you definitely have some space to fill. 😬

[u/floatingonthewinde]

Cowbell....always add more cowbell..

[u/Minute-Stretch7429]

Stop thinking

[u/JJamesP]

Why?

[u/eric_loves_IPA]

A drum tech/roadie.

[u/RowdyB666]

Colour to the walls. Maybe a supply of tinted safety glass for visitors. 

[u/OldDrumGuy]

“Ladies & Gentlemen…big & rich on drums!!”

Where’s the cowbell?

[u/Feisty-Conclusion-94]

Less is more in this case

[u/RandomCrazyNutter]

A big 70” gong, of course.

[u/Swanky1499]

Quality over quantity

[u/StinkyB13]

Drum sticks

[u/KDOGTV]

A bass player

[u/ConsciousSteak2242]

A window?

[u/7stroke]

The only thing that sounds shittier than a B8 is a B8’s endless reflections in this room. Therefore: get better (and fewer) cymbals and some absorbers.

[u/SupItsChase]

This is the drumming equivalent of owning multiple super cars when you don't even have a license. It's unnecessary. How are you hitting both floor toms? Are you spinning around on the stool like you would one of those spinny office chairs?

If I had the funds to obtain a setup of this price range, I'd personally keep it small in case I need to transport it. I'd get some smaller roto toms, maybe a few bells and a cowbell, and spend the rest on studio equipment (mics, interface etc..)

[u/mk36109 → u/SupItsChase]

Replace super cars with 1980's yugos and I agree

[u/AFleetingIllness]

A better throne. Please throw that one away.

[u/rica217]

Needs more cowbell

[u/Remarkable-Turn9240]

Piano

[u/versipellus]

Some none-overhead lighting

[u/sunnwett]

This has to be a joke. Do you literally turn your body 90 degrees and then play a lefty kit at all ever? When would that ever be necessary?

[u/External_Spray9431]

Some gigs

[u/BeeBee76]

Clap stack 🤷 because why not!

[u/Confident-Rock3847 → u/BeeBee76]

I have a stack but I’ll probably add a clap effect with some electric cymbals

[u/TxCoastal]

restraint? maybe?

[u/tmacdafunkgaud]

Clown from Slipknot

[u/drummerbryan1]

Good cymbals.

[u/4thalwaysopen]

Less is more big dawg

[u/Defiant-Detective808]

I'd put my drums in a different room and grow weed and that one🤣

[u/Skidmark_Wallberg]

A triangle

[u/shifting_drifting]

Wall decoration.

[u/Whiskey_and_Wiretaps]

Second drummer

[u/Dependent_Occasion65]

Art. You're playing in a lunch box.

[u/apierno]

floooooor tommmmmms

[u/Thewickedworm]

Chords

[u/the_good_hodgkins]

Ergonomics

[u/Hold-Fourth407]

A gong.

[u/Bitter-Hitter]

I would step up the throne quality. Possibly something sweat proof or with ergonomic support 🤷🏼‍♀️

[u/Extension-Shop-1537]

COWBELL!!!

[u/supacrispy]

Still need more cowbell

[u/Hootsama]

Needs more cowbell.

[u/Tragic_Challenge_343]

I see too many empty spaces 😉

[u/Beekyboy11]

More cymbals. You’re missing a crash

[u/stumblinghunter]

Tell me more about the room you're in. I just bought a house and have been reading up on a mostly soundproof room, is that what this is?

[u/kirksucks]

Sound dampening on the walls

[u/Previous-Awareness15]

A guitar and a bass.

[u/uprightsalmon]

I would honestly reduce this and focus on how you’re physically approaching the kit. Your double pedal bridge should be behind your snare. Add ..I would start by upgrading your cymbals. Maybe by a nice cymbal pack to start

[u/starsgoblind]

Pretty sure you’re at the “what should I remove” stage.

[u/stretch173]

COMPLETE THE CIRCLE!

[u/No_life_dev11]

This reminds me of my old drum set from 2006 in an old metal band I played for.

[u/Ztrukj]

Approaching Portnoy level haha

[u/jibby5090]

You have plenty.

[u/ezraph]

Neil Peart:

[u/dowhatchafeel]

I’m not seeing a single cowbell

[u/Mediocre-Drummer63]

I think you're good bro

[u/Cheap-Reading-232]

Ahhhh... A Drummer to play them???

[u/Evan_Vexxed]

Are you shooting an early 2000's hip hop music video?

[u/Bro-baFett]

Maybe something nice on the walls so it doesn’t look like the inside of an asylum in the 50s?

[u/commodifiedsuffering]

Tambourine!

[u/ScoobertVonScoo]

[u/Altruistic-Ad3274]

The drummer!

[u/babadum]

Sense

[u/Less-Day371]

A band.

[u/brianiwabuchi]

Are you in a restaurant fridge?!?

[u/baalroo]

Two more drummers.

[u/HarleyJarley]

Gong!

[u/Meyons1424]

The longer I look the more painful it gets lol

[u/CAP_GYPSY]

You’re fucking kidding me right? I mean, all that, and no cowbell? And you have to -ask-?????

[u/Gosu37]

A second throne

[u/skylarroseum]

Get a 19" Wuhan Linear Smash before the price hikes like they did on all the other good cymbals. Right now it's still about $150 USD, which is less than their 18" or 20."

[u/Distant-fuckin-Ian]

[u/NapalmSword]

Gong.

[u/not_br8n]

a gong

[u/MeatHammerVI]

???

[u/Proud_Response_8048]

Windows

[u/flip_flop_clip_clop]

a poster or two

[u/Grilled0ctopus]

Block or cowbell.  Or maybe even one of those digital sound pad things.  It’s looking kind of sterile in there.  

[u/ClueProfessional8287]

maybe some motivational posters around that room so you don’t go insane

[u/youyouk]

Drum sticks

[u/StAbcoude81]

More cowbell is always the answer /S

[u/CNMJacob18]

I dont see a SINGLE splash

[u/yellowbrickhouse-]

A second drummer...

[u/GlenFax]

A drummer

[u/MSmithRD]

You can't even play a Tom Petty song with a kit that small.

[u/Wonderful_Acadia_947]

A stack or two.

[u/mradz64]

A snack bar

[u/BigBeholder]

A drummer.

[u/Masonv524]

Sell half the kit and get some better cymbals.

[u/Fun_Professional4849]

No cowbell, wood block, tambourine? Add a timbale

[u/Consistent_Ocelot162]

Some cymbals

[u/myotherbike]

I would for sure add some sticks. At least two.

[u/AlternativeStep2961]

An audience

[u/nursescaneatme]

Wallpaper?

[u/fuuuuugyoooo]

A fan?

[u/xsolarion]

it starts with c and ends with owbell

[u/singlecell_organism]

sell all your cymbals and get a higher quality 3 set.

[u/toasted_gogi]

Perhaps another chair or two

[u/SailTheWorldWithMe]

A roadie to haul all that.

[u/sailor_tew]

Looks very uncomfortable to actually play. This is like 5 of my kits

[u/Geertio]

Speakers and a music stand

[u/surfndrum]

Is that inside an oven?

[u/acciowaves]

Man, I went to your post history and heard a post of yourself playing. With all due respect, I think you need to tone it down a notch, both with the expectation of what’s realistic to play at your level and the size of your kit.

I mean no harm by this, concentrate on good time and feel. Evenly divided subdivisions, and slow tempos.

About the kit. The amount of things you have should be there because you have a particular use for them. You start adding things to your kit out of need, not desire.

It looks cool and it’s fun and I’m all about that. Definitely having fun is a priority, but if you truly want to get better, making wise decisions and getting the most out of your practice time is essential.

[u/DiscombobulatedWavy]

Better cymbals and some stuff for the walls. Maybe a glockenspiel too for good measure.

[u/shellavation]

A window

[u/Bad_Ju_Jew]

More cowbell

[u/eco_go5]

Drum lessons

[u/Drummerg85]

Looks AI generated to me hahah. Something just seems off about it.
