What 3 sizes would your ideal 3 drum setup be ?

RUMBA!!!!!!!!!
9.5, 10.5, 12.5
That Valje has enough bass to set off car alarms.
The Isla is so high it can shatter a wine glass.

bongosnotbombs ........thanks for showing the picture. Awesome set ! Your 4th drum will be arriving soon . As for anyone else willing to show their setup. You will also be getting an xtra drum (36-24-36)

Hi Gilbert,
I have the 4 x LP Palladiums too.
Quite aside from that, the set up depends on you - different players have different ways of setting up and tuning.
However one way to set up might be:

You could also shift the super tumba to your left.
A lot depends on the music you play and how the tuning / set up meets the needs of the band.

THis might be useful too (but I always tune by ear and may adjust tuning to what the singer needs)

I am a Tumba player this is from my current congas. I prefer a Resolution 12" Tumba, Volcano Boomba 14" and South American Conga 16" Bomba.

For Samba. I would use a 16" Birch Floor tom, a 22" Wood Surdo and a 28" Leedy Bass drum all with skin not plastic heads.

I like a big bottom and foundation. I also like BNB's 2 different sets (very nice). Congamak has a nice dream too.

Keep it fun,

Jerry
