Building a virtual drum kit
It seems that drummers spend a lot of time figuring out how to arrange and enhance their kits. There are so many items you can buy and the sky is the limit on cost. You can pay Β£30 for a cymbal or Β£600, if you want. There will be differences of course, but the usual law of diminishing returns may apply. My own acoustic kit looks something like below.

![Drumstructor Tama Club Jam](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/steevc/23tmMzoziY6ZaG85uZ7Tw4SqqJ698qBG6oEjdixHopZ9czRmjA91yy9QvBQHiHiik3opz.png)

You can see my actual kit in my [previous post](https://peakd.com/hive-150342/@steevc/adding-to-my-drum-kit). This image was created in [Drumstructor](https://drumstructor.com/) which is a web-based app with the sole purpose of designing drum kits. Someone had already done this version of the [Tama Club Jam](https://www.tama.com/eu/products/drum_kits/club_jam_kit.html) with a different snare drum. BTW the Tama web page looks like it was designed for phones, so looks terrible on a big screen.

I think I heard of the app from this guy.

Of course people do to town with an app like this. Lots of kits used by famous players have been build such as [this one](https://drumstructor.com/app.php?kit=DK-0D604F-220826-143534-822268) used by Terry Bozio. If you click through you can pan around the kit in 3d and click on each item to see what it is. The editor is very comprehensive, but I have not had time to play with it. I ought to be actually playing my drums instead.

![Drumstructor Terry Bozio kit](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/steevc/243zi2bX8v5RT1Ydb2XYc2ViTcE7n6pEfY9fYq5YcqbFJZ1aZeeUznL5KZiMHtRE21uYo.png)

A kit like that would cost as much as a very nice car and you need a truck plus some roadies to get it around. I will stick with something much simpler.

I am currently working on a tune for the next Drumeo collaboration. It is not the most complex bit of drumming, but I may do a variation as I cannot quite handle the speedy footwork it requires. I aim to do a video playing the acoustic kit, so that may be up next week. I need to get it done by then to be included anyway.

I also want to do another song for the Vibes contest. I have one I wrote that is suitable, but it takes time to get a video together.

I am off to get a bit of practice in before bed. Having to work a full-time job gets in the way of my music.

Rock on!

the third photograph has a lot of drums, if it possible to use all the drums at the same time. That would be awesome.

Fulltime jobs are demanding I won't object, I don't get enough time to do things I used to do before and It can be exhausting though. But passion stays no matter what.

That looks like a fun app and could be quite useful for anyone who has to plan a kit that fits in to a specific space. I don't know who Terry Bozio is but frankly he just has too many drums and cymbals. He must have extraordinarily long arms like Mister Tickle!

Terry played with Frank Zappa and Jeff Beck. There are some ridiculous kits out there, but Ringo played on one a lot like mine. If I had more drums I'd have to justify them with better playing. I may add a few bits along the way for fun though.

Ah thanks for the information. The kit you have is a nice compact size. Having a second mounted tom might be useful for variety in fills and wouldn't take up extra floor space and a cowbell is quite useful as a hi-hat alternative.. although they are usually far too loud and so they need to be a lot less frequent in a groove than a hi-hat.

I have never gave this a though, bet more than 300 pieces on that last image, not even considering custom parts, design, colors, ppl can really spend a fortune on this setups
