[lockslie1]

These drums sound good. Similar to Tama Hyperdrive tom sizes.

By the way, If you go to drumchannel.com they have several clips of drummers, but they have a 7:30min clip of this particular concert that Tony did with ASAP. The unique thing is you can change the camera view of the video.

You know whats funny is that TAMA wasnt the first company to introduce toms like that

Awhile ago you could special order those toms from DW since they were a custom kit maker. same for pearl and even Travis Barker had a rack tom like that on his OCDP kit.

Whaddup Drumzalicious what have you been up to? I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that remembers when  Drumworkshop put the Short stack toms on the market as a special order item. I think Terry Bozzio was the first major drumset artist to play them.

Good point. I guess Tama was the first to effectively market and sell them mainstream. Those DW's look amazing though.

Wow tony is crazy good man!!! I really like the sound and look of those drums too!

You know the drum companies are constantly copying each other.  They have to in order to stay in the game.  Think about it, it has happened with the double kick pedal, "free-floating" drums shells and hardware, piccolo and "popcorn" snares, independent positioning tom and cymbal arms, custom made-to-order kits, exotic woods, etc.  I could go on and on.

Taye (Go series) and Canopus and Yamaha (with there Hip Gig line) also. In fact Ludwig just birch kit similar to the Hip Gig mingled with the Go-Kit mingled with the Pearl Traveler Gig Kit (discontinued). These toms sizes have generally been referred to as Fast sizes (the more shallow the depth the faster the air response). Cocktail kits were possibly the first to demonstrate this tom make up.

Research and innovation folks.

Holy cow!!!!! Gotta love Tony.

[CJKeyboardPlaya]

I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!! WOW!!!

[JrDADrumma]

I've always appreciated Tony's ability and work ethic...but I just have not been able to get with dude's style behind the kit...his playing just does nothing for me personally...but like I said, he's incredibly talented and works very hard it. Dude is really fast. Thanks for the share...

Reference Modern Drummer, December 1994 (Chad Smith is on the cover with the Gene Krupa like set up).  They did a review of Drum Workshop's Fundamentally Accurate Sized Toms (natural satin oil kit, review on the first Delta hinge double pedal and EDGE snare), and at the time, this was the first company to do so, and noted in the review as such.

Duly noted. Thanks for the reference.

I wonder if this is anything like them taking credit for that slotted snare which Odery beat them to the punch for? Just  ....

Either way, Tony's kit sounds good in this clip.

Note Louis Bellson had some short stacks like this on some of his early double bass setups.

[sabian juice]

It brings a smile to my face to see Tony using SABIANS!!!!!

Wow man really? Is it because he's not playing gospel music?

Anyway, cool kit. His playing is awesome!
