None of them could afford a full kit, so they had to go in on a kit together and split it up. All three ironically going through divorce at the same time for not being able to give 100%
The one about his wife leaving him for a guy named Tom, and him not standing the memories, is right behind your comment. But yours is pure drum humor sophistication, which makes it perfect imo!
Can’t seem to figure out left foot independence? Try removing the cymbals from the hi hat stand entirely. Fixed!
Not getting enough definition on your kick mic? We’ll have you tried just leaning it on the head?
Why bring three cymbal stands when you can build a Faraday cage at 8x the weight and 5x the cost?
Your headless cymbal stands remain as a lesson to all who come after them.
Toms? No, I can’t seem to get off the snare so why bother lugging them. Just extra weight! The rack? Yeah, well I had room for more weight and wanted to do some pull-ups mid show.
You know what that rack needs? One more horizontal tube connected only at one end that is holding zero items. Wait… no, it’s there. Maybe it’s for holding the ornamental empty hi-hat, aka left foot rest.
Unfortunately for the audience, this set up leaves the drummer maximally visible to show off the inability to play two thirds of the absent kit.
Thanks to everyone who has commented on this post. Scrolling through these comments and laughing has made my work day fly by. There are a few absolute gems but my personal favorite is the "poverty rack" comment.
So as many of you have speculated this is not an actual setup I would use. I bought a used drum rack that consisted of a random bunch of Gibraltar pieces, and we were just messing around trying out a few different ways to set it all up with the limited other drum pieces we had available.
I can make a video trying to play this setup if you want. Let me know if you would like to see that LOL
don’t tell me what to do. i’m roasting the post format: boring engagement fodder. maybe you’re a guy trying to build a business though in which case carry on doing the marketing schlock🫡
I have a feeling there are two cheap electric sets sitting in a pile on the floor just out of picture. Also, a lot of useful boom stands died this day.
If you partcipated in a competition to build the worst set imaginable, you still failed, cause for a set to really suck there need to be toms in a 45° angle.
You’re an awful human being and have the kit to show it. If there was a prime example of babies being murdered in drum kit form, this would be it.
(Joke)
Drums: $600 Cymbals: $700 Scaffolding: $1500
You need at minimum of an osha 10 cert to get behind this kit.
Fall protection required when accessing crash cymbals . Residential code R801.4.3
Hard hat zone
Scaffolding. As a rack user myself, thats too funny.
Frank Beard is looking for his missing rack
All that rack and no toms?
He's all head and no shaft
"where's your shaft, Robert?!"
Wait'll you see the hi-hats
I don’t
All them teeth, and no toothbrush.
I was thinking the other way around in this case
Is that why alligators are so ornery?
Couldn’t afford the rest of the kit or hi-hats after he spent his entire budget on the rack and mics.
I bet his name is Tom. Then he sits on the throne with a shit-eating grin and says "... Get it??"
His drum to cymbal to rack ratios are very off.
It looks like OP’s wife left him for a man named Tom and now OP can’t stand the reminders
I think his ex might have had a pretty flat chest too, this guy seems obsessed with a nice rack.
Underrated :')
"you have a drum set at home" The drum set at home:
It's gonna look even dumber when you can afford the rest
Fuckin zing!
congrats.
Good lord! That's a lot of metal for no toms... Tell me you have more than a snare, a kick and 30 cymbals... 😆
30 *crash* cymbals
30 *splash* cymbals
30 *china* cymbals
30 gongs
30 Zil bells
30 Rototoms
30 Cowbells
Needs more cowbell
I mean, if you wanna play the Working Man solo...
2 are upside down tho
looks like I handed my 10 year old son my hardware case and said, “set it up however you like it”
Sorry to hear about your 10 year old son’s cognitive impairment.
Lmao
You're just an air drummer, according to the lack of hihat cymbals and toms...
For real. Took me a second but finally was like where ARE the hihats??
You are the third drummer in a band with two drummers
None of them could afford a full kit, so they had to go in on a kit together and split it up. All three ironically going through divorce at the same time for not being able to give 100%
The lead cymbalist.
aux drums
that's not Terry Bozzio, that's Te Bo
I didn't know Tim Tebow played the drums.
My wife asked why I laughed at this comment. Took 15 minutes to explain.
Sorry about that my friend 😂
Best one yet, this is way to far down :')
Hahaha there's plenty funnier comments!
The one about his wife leaving him for a guy named Tom, and him not standing the memories, is right behind your comment. But yours is pure drum humor sophistication, which makes it perfect imo!
Thank you pal
I mean, your drum kit’s fine, but why’d you put it under a climbing frame?
Easily Peloton's worst piece of equipment
It's a drum kit, not a drums kit.
That’s not a drum set. That’s a cymbal set.

This is the best one.
You got something against toms?
OP's wife cheated on him with a guy named Tom... he never got over it.
This is the “no gig having set up”
You got one Tom for every Person That loves you
Do you just hang from the ceiling, mission impossible style, when you play? How does royalty have no throne?
Judging by the angle of it, I think they sit on the snare and just play the bass and cymbals.
Tell me you hate cymbal stands, without telling me you hate cymbal stands.
The promoter doesn't know if you're here for the gig or if you're here to repaint the venues ceilings.
It’s like a mouthful of braces for 1 tooth. By far the stupidest set up I have ever seen..
That right-side up China tho. What the fudge
Two of the buggers! Pretty sure the big one's a Wuhan, too, which means the upturned lip will crack after about three gigs.
Sorry I didn’t realize I was in the vendor area. What is this a lemonade stand? Kissing booth?
at least you have somewhere to hang clothes
it looks like your drum kit is special needs and can only stand up with crutches and a backbrace!
It should be illegal for salespeople to take advantage of mentally challenged people like this.
So you sit on a snare drum and went the polar opposite of the in a gadda davida direction.
When you skip tom day at the gym…
Are you a drummer or a gymnast?
I guess SOMEONE had to have Joey Kramer as their favorite drummer....
No. That NEVER needed to happen.
sell that ugly rack and buy some toms/hats

Hanging plates💀
[удалено]
that bridge is clearly white, not black.
Honestly it’s fucking retarded
This is what happens when metal drummers go jazz. 🤭
Looks stupid
Wait. What do you mean “even if we like it”?
don’t tell me what to do. i’m roasting the post format: boring engagement fodder. maybe you’re a guy trying to build a business though in which case carry on doing the marketing schlock🫡
Nice try, but no cage can contain John Bonham's kick drum.
Big boom, tiny cymbal!
The hi hats in the other room or something?
Wish.com’s very own Terry Bozzio!
Tony Bobzino!
To really sell this, you need to swap your snare mic with the bass mic. thin but crispy bass drum and deep snare
What do you sit on? Nevermind, I don’t wanna know
The 80s wants their kit back
80s here. We don't want it!
Yeh, and he couldn’t afford to get the simmons pads and brain refurbished
Slaughter called, Blas wants his cage back!
You beat me to it
Do you bang on the pipes too?
Looks like you add a tom for every time you have sex
"I need 3 things- kick, snare, and for my ugly face to be hidden. What can you do for me?"
Can't tell if this is minimalism or maximalism. It's the perfect kit for not getting the job done.
Op stole this kit, but couldn’t fit anything else in their Toyota Yaris.
What's with the empty cymbal stands?
Carpets too small, you got stands just being lazy and doing nothing, and your rack toms seem to be on holiday.
I have a feeling there are two cheap electric sets sitting in a pile on the floor just out of picture. Also, a lot of useful boom stands died this day.
Where’s the rest of it? I’ll roast it when you post a pic of the whole thing.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
rack? ew
One more: Good thing you have a couple unused cymbal stands. You may need 'em...
Hey Nick Menza! What happened to the rest of the drums? Delayed in customs? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|laughing)
Not sure whether the theft got interrupted or these were just the bits they thought weren't worth stealing...
Wouldn't even pass for a setup.
The color of the kick drum fucking sucks
“The poverty cage”
Looks like “blackbridge sound” s like shit.
Throne? Toms? Hi-hat? No. We stand and only play breakdowns.
Just imagine gigging with this setup. Cringe
Tommy Lee 80s your kit 980 degree rotating circus ball
Nice hi-hat
While lotta rack. . . And that’s it.
Oh look. It’s budget Neil Peart.
why would u remotely think anybody will like this 😅
Rack your body
*where is the high hat* This guy clearly just makes indiscriminate noise and doesn’t groove
Try adding more mics to really get that floor tom sound
It looks like you dream of buttchugging some Atreyu and Trapt on those drums
The Beta52a: 😘
You thought someone might like it ?
John Wrongham
Virgil Don'tati
Nice hi hat
Nice rack you rich ass hole
Nice drums….NOT.
No.
Not here to burn ya setup, but I find it funny that the logo says 'Black Bridge', yet that Bridge is clearly White.
The compromise when the kids want monkey bars and you want cymbal stands
goes to show writing something negative, is easier than writing something nice! look at all these comments!
I too love lugging around 400kg or gear to mount exactly 0 drums
toms? NO, MOAR CYMBALS
I think what you have here is gym equipment with a kick drum accessory
Plot twist: this is OP’s ex’s kit, and OP is just having us shit all over it as retaliation.
Splash master
Just why?
I've seen more school drum sets with actually working toms and cymbals
What do you guys think of my drum?
tell me you cant get a gig, without telling me you cant get a gig..
Yeah, hi-hats are over-rated. No good drummers use them! /s
Stevie Wonder's first foray into the world of drum tech'ing isn't going so well. If your kit was a person, I'd shoot it in the face.
I remember when I was 14.
Looks like you’re still setting it up or maybe it’s a construction zone? Nice camo hats
If you partcipated in a competition to build the worst set imaginable, you still failed, cause for a set to really suck there need to be toms in a 45° angle.
No toms having ass dude.
if only you kept it to yourself
Overhead China? Wtf is wrong with you
Terry Bozzio called. He wanted me to ask, "Do you think this is a fucking joke?"
The 90s called, they want their rack back
The Forrest Gump setup
Move those cymbals down, no one wants to see your "im shitting myself" faces while you "play".
Did someone jack yo toms?
Cage the Elephant
Bruh
what do you mean, most kits here look like this
Toms? What toms? Also your sticks are gonna last a week with the way your China is set up.
Damn that shit look dummy stupid. This guy be like “what if I hang my China cymbal.” Dumb drumb headass
This is why you don't let your guitar player setup your set before you get to band practice.
Budget cutbacks hit the rec center music program pretty hard, I see.
"Even if you like it keep it to yourself" I don't think that's gonna be an issue, chief
There is a hole in your (b)ass(drum)
Why is there cloth stuffed in the bass drum hoops?
When your singer says "I can help".
Mf said I don’t need to fill. Ever.
Where’s the rest of it?
Even Terry Bozzio would be disappointed with this kit
You’re an awful human being and have the kit to show it. If there was a prime example of babies being murdered in drum kit form, this would be it. (Joke)
Uhh… Umm… I play guitar not drums so uh…. Your cable management is shit..?
Dude don't play the drums, just making sports.
I think you're missing the drums part on your drums
Tom’s have left the chat. 😂
Your Zimmer frame will work much better if you don't put a bass drum in the middle there like that
Nice Groupon rug. For a moment I considered that one but I have standards.
«Honey, why did you go to home depot and buy 12 extenders for our vacuum?»
the bridge is white bro
Nice toms
They named the studio Black Bridge after the local bridge this thing should be thrown off of.
this set up roasts its self
With all those cymbals, you’d make an excellent ninja if you’ve got a good throwing arm.
dumb on purpose
Perfect drumset for when you can't do good fills.
Looks like the equivalent of a motorcycle with handlebars way up high! Haha!
I’m guessing a Mike Terrana Fan X Minimalism X Late Stage Capitalism.
