Maybe you never heard of Neil Peart? How about Carl Palmer…any drummer from Slipknot…Bill Bruford maybe??? The world is filled with outstanding players and their kits, seven hardly scratches the surface.
my favorites Neil Peart's Rush 30th anniversary kit from their 2004 tour Phil Collins white Gretsch drum kit he used on the Genesis Mama tour. Lars Ulrich ...And justice for all kit he used in 1991 and all of Stuart Copeland's kits
The Biggest are the Coolest It doesn't has to be that way That's why I loved the kits of Bil Buford wich were an Expression of his journey through the Universe of percussion....
Peart's Time Machine Kit was a Masterpiece of Masterpieces and the best looking kit. It even changed color depending on light and shadows. One minute it looks like a brand new copper penny to solid black, to a wood grain pattern.
My personal favourite drum kit in neil pearts snakes and arrows drum kit. Love the tone of orange and the simplistic artwork but love how much there is to it
Hey man Great Video! You should Check out Eric Carr's Drum Set. Hes my drum hero and he uses 3 bass drums and has a very big drum set in general. He was Kiss 2nd Drummer and their best In my Opinion!
Terry Bozzios' Drum Kit is made like a piano ( Just like with drums and cymbals ) Gee Anzalone'sDrum kit is an absolutely cool drum kit and I love the music of dRAGONFORCE Nocko's Drum kit is sounding individual like he is not only playing drums. NO! He is also playing it perfectly. Alex Van Halen is one of the greatest drummers in the world who influencest me in progressive drumming. Mike Portnoy is my absolute favourite drummer. He influened my style of drumming in techniques, speed and melodics. Danny Carry is technical, specialist od using e-drums, and I love the combination of both arts of drums. Mike MAngini UI know first from the band ANNIHILATOR on the album SET THE WORLD ON FIRE. He is the same technical drum style close to Mike Portnoy.
Awesome video! Great to see Danny Carey mentioned bc he's one of my all time favorite drummers. My personal favorite drum kit is Phil Collins' kit that he used in the 1983, '86, and '92 tours with Genesis.
Aquiles Priester has hands down the best drum kit I have ever seen. The absolute variety in types of toms, cymbals and equipment paired with the coloursounds is badass. If you haven't seen the kit or his drumming in general look it up.
Bozzio ‘learned’ the entire set for Black Page 1 & 2 - and played the impossible stuff that Zappa wrote to perfection. Metal isn’t everything, mate. Technical perfection comes in many forms.
Lars Ulrich's kit/s during the black album touring was good. Neil Peart had epic set-ups. Tommy Lee of Motley Crue has had unique drum kits. Ray Luzier of KoRn, Joey Jordison of Slipknot, Dave Lombardo used a 6 tom kit that was cool (similar to Peart) as did Paul Bostaph with 5 toms, Blas Elias, numerous kits for KISS, as well as Rick Allen of Def Leppard, Tommy Clufetos...
Very cool list. I was wondering if you might have considered Robert Sweet's kit from Stryper and/or the various kits from Tommy Lee (the spinning kit, the rollet coaster kit, etc.)? I think those would be at least honorable mentions? 😏
AVH's "Fair Warning" tour kit = # 1 coolest kit I've ever seen. (the black and white striped one in the video above) It was also the first concert I ever went to. I was 14 and some drunk chick I met in the crowd started making out with me. I went to school the next day with my neck covered in hicky's. That and Al's kit are the two things that I really remember from that night those 43 long years ago.
Rockenfields kit is instantly identifiable, Cozy Powells big silver Yamaha kit also you know who’s it is as soon as you see it, can’t miss the 26” kick drums and matching big ass rack toms. Also Tommy Aldridge was the first to use the rack system with the bass drums floating that Whitesnake 87 kit was cool as shit.
Yes I do, but I'm a metalhead so i really only know metal/rock drummers. and i think they have very cool kits. Lets me know if there are any dummers from different genres that I should check out!
Vinnie Paul’s cannon toms, Keith moons drumset from his 1978 won’t get fooled again drum solo I don’t know how to describe it, Charlie benante pantera, Lars ulrich white tama are my favorites
You need to watch Bozio when he drummed for Frank Zappa. He was actually a very good drummer. His more rhythmic style came later. He did learning videos , decades ago.
Martin Chambers’ kit from the 70s was very unique looking. John Stanier of Battles (he’s in Helmet too) also comes to mind. Bill Bruford had some different set ups.
Might be able to change your mind on Bozzio. Strongly recommend both albums from Bozzio Levin Stevens. The song Tziganne in particular shows off some of Terrys tom work
Best sounding...bonhams 73.75 vistalites..u heard n felt them .i did 4x..73..75..2x each msg...carl palmers 73/74...77/78 stainless steel..saw that kit.6x..73,74.....77..4x
Carl Palmer used a custom made stainless steel kit with engravings plus tubular bells, timpani and decorated gongs and various other pieces of percussion in 1973 for the ELP album Brain Salad Surgery ... all his toms were connected to synths that played a particular sound which he controlled with a foot switch ... the kit was placed on a Japanese style pagoda and the whole rig rotated ... it weighed approx one and a half tons and it was reported that one ELP gig had to be postponed because the stage couldn't take the weight of the kit! ... during the BSS tour in 1974 he played two solos during the show ... one with the synth kit and percussion during the track Toccata and one just as an acoustic ... he was one of (if not THE first) drummer to use electronics in a live show so go check his kit out! .... ua-cam.com/video/MgaETQh4uXg/v-deo.html
Ok me it's Tommy Lee from Motley Crue ( Shout at the Devil and Theatre of Pain ) Dave Lombardo from Slayer Peter Criss from 70's Kiss Matt Frenette from Loverboy And Louis Cardeneze
thanks sam ureye', check out ' vinny appice', played for dio', in the 70s and 80s', used 2 walls of concert toms' behind him his kits then were mostly concert toms' to me his playings as good as any of todays fast rock guys'.
Phill Collins Genesis The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 1974-1975 tour kit Roger Taylor Queen 1978-1979 Jazz Live Killers tour Peter Criss Kiss 1976-1977 Destroyer Rock And Roll Over Honeycomb kit Nicko McBrain Iron Maiden 1984- 1985 World Slavery Tour kit
No Neil Peart? You haven’t the faintest idea what you’re talking about. You could still judge another kit to be cooler or bigger or whatever, but not included in the list? Dude. Seriously.
Bozzios kit was a idea to show off at clinics , he wouldn't show up at jam with this , and maybe do more research , listening on him unless medal is all you listen too
Cool topic, but you said it in the video...back in the day, metal drummers had large, cool kits. Everyone had their own style and configuration...to do a top-5 or whatever is not enough. Also, please learn how to use the word "unique" so you don't sound like an idiot. Unique means one-of-a-kind...so there can't be varying degrees of "unique-ness" (like very unique, or so unique - it's one of a kind or not). If something is unique it is the only one of its kind. A much better word to use would have been "distinctive" because then you are truly comparing and contrasting. Drummer kit honorable mentions: Vinny Paul, Charlie Benante, Dave Lombardo, Tommy Lee, Neil Peart, and Tico Torres.
You definitely missed FRANK BURDO DRUMS 🇮🇹. 22 PIECE LUDWIG + ZILDJIAN SETUP.
Maybe you never heard of Neil Peart? How about Carl Palmer…any drummer from Slipknot…Bill Bruford maybe??? The world is filled with outstanding players and their kits, seven hardly scratches the surface.

I agree with all of those, I kinda forgot to add neil Peart lol!
The Biggest are the Coolest
It doesn't has to be that way
That's why I loved the kits of Bil Buford wich were an Expression of his journey through the Universe of percussion....
@@Samureyedrums I was going to say where is Neil's kit
Peart's Time Machine Kit was a Masterpiece of Masterpieces and the best looking kit. It even changed color depending on light and shadows. One minute it looks like a brand new copper penny to solid black, to a wood grain pattern.
Scott Rockenfield’s chained throne was the first one that comes to my mind!
Ok, ill check it out
@@Samureyedrums yeah! 😎 Queensryche! 🤘🏻you gonna love it! Part 2 has to be done! I see a lot of good recommendations in comment section!
I'll probobly do another one in the future
Yup Scott’s chain suspended kit was pretty gnarly.
Ok, Neil Peart was the first to have incorporated two drum kit on a swiveling platform. 1980s red tama kit is all time legendary!
Hes a legendary drummer!
Neil Peart. Bill Bruford. Gavin Harrison. Phil Collins. Nick Menza. Alquiles Priester. Rick Allen. Thomas Lang. Carter Bruford. To name a few
They all have awesome kits!!!!
Neil peart 2112 drum kit is super cool
Neil always has cool kits
My personal favourite drum kit in neil pearts snakes and arrows drum kit. Love the tone of orange and the simplistic artwork but love how much there is to it
The love it, the kit is so big and neil is surrounded with tomes and cymbals
Hey man Great Video! You should Check out Eric Carr's Drum Set. Hes my drum hero and he uses 3 bass drums and has a very big drum set in general. He was Kiss 2nd Drummer and their best In my Opinion!

Gee Anzalone'sDrum kit is an absolutely cool drum kit and I love the music of dRAGONFORCE

Neil Peart Tama kit was the best
I agree
Neil Peart in my opinion had the most fantastic kit there was
agreed
Awesome video! Great to see Danny Carey mentioned bc he's one of my all time favorite drummers.
My personal favorite drum kit is Phil Collins' kit that he used in the 1983, '86, and '92 tours with Genesis.
Its an interesting kit. I believe Danney Carry is one of the most talented drummers in the world
@Samureyedrums Without a doubt, he is!
150%

Seriously...any of Niels kits should be on your list
I forgot Neil lol, ill do a part 2 later
Aquiles Priester has hands down the best drum kit I have ever seen. The absolute variety in types of toms, cymbals and equipment paired with the coloursounds is badass. If you haven't seen the kit or his drumming in general look it up.
ok, thanks for the recommandation!
I agree with you mate. The red kit he plays on his instructional videos. Angra is my favorite european metal band.
South american not european i meant.
It’s a top-of-the-line custom Mapex kit, right? Phenomenal drummer and wicked kit!!
No Neil?
I was going to add him but i forgot lol
You really need to listen to Bozzios playing with Zappa. Check out the live stuff, the guy was a monster.
Ok, I've heard of Zappa, but never listen. I'll check him out
Bozzio ‘learned’ the entire set for Black Page 1 & 2 - and played the impossible stuff that Zappa wrote to perfection. Metal isn’t everything, mate. Technical perfection comes in many forms.
Lars Ulrich's kit/s during the black album touring was good. Neil Peart had epic set-ups. Tommy Lee of Motley Crue has had unique drum kits.

We both could go on for hours about talking about cool kits lol
Lars Ulrich 1992 9 Piece Tama Artstar II kit with Granstar lugs in Piano White with Black Hardware.
Lars has simple yet very efective kits
One of the reasons why I hail Dreamtheater as the greatest band of all time!!!! Can’t go wrong with either Mike!!!! 😊
BRO SAME!!!!!! I AGREE 10000000%!!!!!!!
I agree 100%
Agree
Very cool list. I was wondering if you might have considered Robert Sweet's kit from Stryper and/or the various kits from Tommy Lee (the spinning kit, the rollet coaster kit, etc.)? I think those would be at least honorable mentions? 😏
Robert has a very interesting kit with the chains. Tommy lee was CRAZY. (in a good way). I just wanted to talk about drummers i knew about!
My favorite drum set is Ginger Bakers Cream set. The first Big drum set way back when. Then came Keith Moon's kits.
Alrights, ill check them out.
Eric Carrs chrome "power" kit.
I'll check it out
Keith Moon was probably the first rock drummer with a large, unique kit for its time.
i respect him, but im not into him, but thanks for the suggestion and commenting!!

Thanks for the recommandions!
You DO know that there's more than one style of drumming right?
Yes I do, but I'm a metalhead so i really only know metal/rock drummers. and i think they have very cool kits. Lets me know if there are any dummers from different genres that I should check out!
No
For me it's, Lars Ulrich's white 'justice for all' drum kit. It was sooo cool...
It looks cool, i would agree with that.
That’s what made me want to play drums
Lars is a very underated drummer
The white drums are from the Black Album. Justice's is gray and with smaller measurements
Yeah black hardware makes it look great
Eric Carr had a sick kit!
Ill check him out
@@Samureyedrums Check his War Machine drum solo
@@Samureyedrumshis kit from the 1988 crazy nights tour is stunning
I find it funny that these guys from the '80s have kits bigger than Portnoy, yet there playing is simple lol
You have to see Nick Menza's, Steve Wacholz's and Scott Rockenfield's kits from the 80's to 90's. They're all awesome.
they are all great drummers
Vinnie Paul’s cannon toms, Keith moons drumset from his 1978 won’t get fooled again drum solo I don’t know how to describe it, Charlie benante pantera, Lars ulrich white tama are my favorites
Ya, they are all cool kits.
Gunner Ross of the Almighty Strut from Detroit had a tympani and a 6 foot Japanese Gong he would beat the hell out of at the end of their set
Awesome
You need to watch Bozio when he drummed for Frank Zappa. He was actually a very good drummer. His more rhythmic style came later. He did learning videos , decades ago.
I'll give him more of a listen
Martin Chambers’ kit from the 70s was very unique looking. John Stanier of Battles (he’s in Helmet too) also comes to mind. Bill Bruford had some different set ups.
Ok, thanks for the recommendation!
I think they were Lloyd Ryan drums with the square nut boxes. Or maybe not.
my favs right now are Eloy Casagrande's drum kit with Slipknot and Aquiles Priester's kit.
Aquiles has a awesome kit, love the red!
Might be able to change your mind on Bozzio. Strongly recommend both albums from Bozzio Levin Stevens. The song Tziganne in particular shows off some of Terrys tom work
Alright, I'll give it a listen

How do you make a drummer more aero dynamic? Take the pizza delivery sign off his car😂

Tuned drumset? Do you mean he tuned his drums? Or was there something special about the shells that he used?

People have opinions. What is your number 1?
John Densmore's orange downbeat set was the shit

Where is Frank Beard?
I have never heard of Frank Beard
@@Samureyedrums You never heard of a band called ZZ Top?
the coolest kit could not help when the drummer can´t hold the rythim...................
sometimes thats true lol
For me its joey and Dave.
I love Joey Jordison's kit.
The fact mine isn’t in the list is disappointing
lol
Why is every photo just out of focus?
I just blured them a bit, some of them were not good quality lol
@@Samureyedrums Why? It hurts my eyes. You hurt my eyes.. You did this to me.
WHAT ABOUT NEIL PEART!!?!!
I Loved his Tama Artstar Drumkit from 1981 - Moving Pictures Tour.

Alex Van Halen by far!!
I love his kits
Bozzios kit was a idea to show off at clinics , he wouldn't show up at jam with this , and maybe do more research , listening on him unless medal is all you listen too
Thanks for the info
Cool topic, but you said it in the video...back in the day, metal drummers had large, cool kits. Everyone had their own style and configuration...to do a top-5 or whatever is not enough.
Also, please learn how to use the word "unique" so you don't sound like an idiot. Unique means one-of-a-kind...so there can't be varying degrees of "unique-ness" (like very unique, or so unique - it's one of a kind or not). If something is unique it is the only one of its kind. A much better word to use would have been "distinctive" because then you are truly comparing and contrasting.
Drummer kit honorable mentions:
Vinny Paul, Charlie Benante, Dave Lombardo, Tommy Lee, Neil Peart, and Tico Torres.
It was hard picking them. Next time i probobly will not put them in order because they all have really cool kits
You spelled “danney Carey wrong
Crap, thanks for letting me know lol
Danny Carey's kit is also based on "sacred geometry" esotericism. Lots of Tool's music is about this.
Thanks for the information!
What a load of bollox.
Well this was my opinion, but if you think that i missed some drummers, let me know!
Very poor taste and order
Dream setup in front Phill Colin rotate to Carter Beauford in rear
mike portnoy has an awesome setup
