THE DRUM ROOM

Tama Rock Star 5 piece drum kit (from the first year of that series when the shells were a bit better) with Evans G2 coated heads
There is a wooden snare and a metal snare to choose from, and a single kick pedal as well as an Iron Cobra double pedal.
Cash, ride, china, splash cymbals and high hat are available, but most drummers bring their own cymbals.
We also have quite a few hand percussion instruments, like a variety of shakers, small hand drums, tambourines, cabasas, cowbells, and wind chimes, and a lot of little percussive noisemakers that don't really have names. There's a great big rain stick, and angklung from Indonesia, and a temple gong from Bali. We've got a Guiro, Morroccan clay drums, a singing bowl, a kalimba and an mbira. And did I mention, MORE COWBELLS! I even keep around some odd household items that make cool noises! Oh, yeah... and a complete set of hand bells!
