My Current Drumming setup!

So here's my current recording and gigging setup. It's pretty budget but still sounds great. I've been using this exact setup since around August of 2017. I've always been a gear head and love watching people show there setups. so here's mine!

The kit itself is a 4-piece Mapex Voyageur that i got around 5 years ago. With quality skins and sufficient tuning of the drums, it sounds great, despite it being an entry level kit.

I have a Evans EC2 Reverse Dot as my snare head. Great skin, very durable and easy to tune (although I still prefer traditional coated skins on the snare). On the toms I have Remo Emperor Clear skins, providing a very clear and articulate sound, making it great for rock and metal genres. The sticks i use range from 5B to Super 5A, depending on what I can get my hands on at the time.

The Evans EMAD kick heads are amazing! So little tuning to be done and you're good to go with a great sounding kick drum. Iv'e always had trouble getting a desired kick drum sound, but getting this skin sorted that out for me. I'm using a Mapex P800TW double kick pedal, and I'm super happy with it.

Moving on to the cymbals! I only play Zildjian cymbals at the moment and couldn't be happier with them!
This is a 16" A Custom Fast Crash (excuse the horrible, soul-tearing crack :'c ). It sounds great and has a very bright explosive sound. I'll probably be replacing this one soon for obvious reasons..

Next up I'm rocking the 18" Avedis Fast Crash. I LOVE this cymbal sooo much. It's great to wash on for those big choruses, explosive and loud for single hits and even works well as a little ride for some more stick-defining stuff. It has a much darker tone than my 16", providing great contrasting sounds.

These are the "black sheep" of my setup, I guess. A pair of 14" hats and a 20" ride, both from the ZHT range. They sound good from a budget point of view. Looking to upgrade them in the not too distant future :p

This is the newest addition to my setup, the Shure SE215 in-ear-monitors. These where the cheapest IEM i could get my hands on and they sound awesome! A very wide frequency range and solid sound isolation makes them perfect for the budget drummer. The only issue i run into is the buds slipping out as soon as I start sweating heavily, but I usually fiddle with them as I play to make sure they're in correctly and so on, so it's no biggy.

Ofcourse, no drum setup is complete without a cowbell! A bandmate of mine sold this to me for next to nothing, and It sounds pretty dope..
