This drumkit may not look like much, but look closely. There are a few interesting little items. And one of the toms is not just a tom, it is a mani-tom, a special kind of tom that can be in- and deflated with a hose, thus regulating the pitch of it; you have most likely heard the effect on a lot of albums yourself. But what you probably did not know: The inventor of the mani-tom is the man in this picture. One of the most underrated or unknown drummers of prog. On my personal list of drummers he is ranked #3; his drumming is highly original and unmistakable. Here the examples of his drumming from the database:

Carey´s is pretty awesome! But I always thought it was bigger...
Many now thrash the big drum kits...I must say whatever fits the drumer best, if Bozio wants to use 18727449525745 thousend drums...so be it, as long as the end result is good...

Man, a good drummer doesn't that. These are stupidelly overated drums played by stupidely overated drummers. That's all I got to says.

Now now, Terry - you're just being silly (or are we looking at some kind of Freudian over-compensation for something, eh...?




No - for the best kit, you just have to look at Neil Peart; I mean, look at this beauty:




    

Nice pyjamas, Neil

Mike portnoy's kit are cool, of course. But There are better looking ones:
John Bonham, Led Zeppelin (Awesome colour!)
 
Bill Ward, Black Sabbath (His early kit. He had a alot bigger kit 73-78)
 
Dave Weckl, Dave Weckl band (Cool Drummer)
 
Ian Paice, Deep Purple (Great Drummer, Awesome Kit)
 
Keith Moon, The Who (Legendary Drummer)
 
Phil Collins, Genesis (and more) (Just Great)
 
And of course we have Thomas Lang and other one's kits that i couldn't find pictures of.
Well, my vote goes for Other->John Bonham

i went with Portnoy because he has 2 kits side by side and moves back and forth between the 2 and he has a large kit on one  side and a small John Bonham kit on the other.
BUH!!! It's what the Buffalo say!

did you know that Carey flipped the coin and decided the drum kit seat rather than becoming a masonic high cleric ? so, his drum kit is set exactly according to the architecture of the Temple of Solomon...

I once was at a Gong concert (the Pierre Moerlen version of it). His drum kit was of reasonable size, as far as I remember; what immediately caught the eye on the stage though was a huge gong tree with about 40 gongs of different sizes in it. Moerlen played on it at one point of the concert, and it sounded really fascinating.
