After a couple years in storage, I finally set up and played my kit this past week. It's been way, way, way too long and I missed it. I'm gearing up to start doing some recording work and need to brush up for sure though!
Mapex M Birch Kit: 20x18 Kick, 14x14, 12X10, 10X8, 8X8 toms (only use the 12 and 14 toms these days), 14x5.5 Black Panther Black Maple Snare, 17" Zildjian K Crash, 20" Sabian Paragon Crash, 20" Zildjian A Custom Ping Ride (hate it, want a K dark), 14" Hats (Using a 14" A Custom Crash for the top and a Sabian Pro for the bottom right now).

I've got no pics but I do have a half-decent PDP kit and a Roland TD-6. Plus, a few snares.
My wife works for Mapex...does their web design actually. I have not received my free Mapex kit yet!
Nice!
I use a cheesy drumkit from the 70's. Same size than your's and recently i had this incredible luck to find in a friend's garden's house this sonor kit from the 60's i still need to restore.
Allow me a few days and i'll post pictures.

If she could hook me up with hardware I'd take it! I need a better kick pedal and would love a better hat stand too. Matching 1000 series for hats and cymbals would be steller...
Also... Slim, that's cheating.

Drums are fun. Fun for me, but not so much for those in earshot while I'm playing, that is :P
My first instrument was the drums. I don't have room for my kit in my apartment, so it's currently (sadly) packed up in cases at my parents' house. No pictures, but it's a beautiful Tama Starclassic Performer kit, with a Noble & Cooley snare.
I miss playing drums so much.

Is using Propellorhead's Reason also cheating? Because I still program everything in there myself. Plus, it's as quiet as you want it, always on/in time and doesn't drink your beer like a real drummer! Sadly I don't have the space or the understanding neighbours for a real kit, you guys keep finding ways to make me feel living in an apartment sucks... ;)

My family and I are in a two bedroom apartment. My kit lives in cases in my office at work, stacked in a corner. I once in a while drag it out into our big multipurpose room, which is also where illness recording...
Fortunately I've always been able to use my instruments at my place of work, cause there's no way that'd fly at home.

I use this surdo (Brazilian bass drum - "surdo" literally translates as "deaf") when I march in Mardi Gras parades and play samba at gigs, but I also use it to boil crawfish and to create tiny black holes. ;D
For Mardi Gras 2012, I was dressed as a 'strange quark' particle emitter. :D

Just broke down my old Pearl World kit to make room for my wife's treadmill. I guess she needs it since she's 5'8" and weighs 123 pounds............
