Been playing for 12 years.. Of course my set wasn't always this big. It grew from a simple 5 piece to a mazzive 7.. not to massive though. Other than adding some numeruos percussive instruments like a jam block or two, a cowbell, a ribbon crash for sure and hell i dont know what else, its pretty much complete..

My 1993 Pearl kit includes 5 toms (inches 8, 10, 12, 13, & 16) and a 22" bass. A Gibralter cage holds up 9 cymbals: (from left to right) [z]=Zildjian, [sab]=Sabian;
16" Dark Med. Thin K Crash [z]
10" A Custom Splash [z]
10" UFIP 'earcrafted splash'
15" Paper Thin Crash [z]
21" Hand Hammered Raw Bell Dry Ride [sab]
16" China Low [z]
10" Stagg Med. Splash
18" Med. A Crash
My hats are comprised of one 15" K top hat and a Z Dyno beat for the bottom hat.

All Toms have Genera G2 batters with matching Genera resonants. I use the Emad system for my bass... sounds sweet and bassey thumpy boom, not a thud. yea im proud of my set as you can see...

oh my snare is a 12" maple pork pie... awsome crack..
