I also own 18” and 20” Drummers World nesting kits. I absolutely love them. I recently had Good Hands Drum shop convert a 20” Yamaha (that I already owned) into a nesting kit for my son. I might just have a thing for nesting kits 😂 I like your good idea to use a deeper case for the 18” to hold the throne top and stick bag.
Hi Rick, Great video and great playing and drum set. I had a nesting kit made by Drummers World back in 2001.16x16 bass drum with a lifter,8x10 tom, and 13x13 floor Tom.all in purple sparkle.I was told back then at the store that they used Keller shells.
@@rickdior Hi Rick, Thanks for the quick reply . Yes, I remember they had stacks of Keller shells in the back room. I think they’re either five or eight ply.
This video was perhaps unintentionally helpful in terms of getting to hear you play live with an ensemble, something I've yet to see on your channel. I really enjoyed that! Oh, and the nesting kit is pretty cool, too.
I have an entire playlist of live performances called Ricks Live Gig Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL_c8RjVWL5e9pSeYe5POZTHz6cWwOuvAX.html You seem to have missed that. A lot of my gigs are union gigs, and they prohibit recording, let alone posting here on a private channel.
@@rickdior Thanks Rick! You are right. I have simply been watching all of your new videos that show up in my feed, without really searching through your channel. I'm going to check out that you gave me now. Cheers!
Thank you for this story, Rick! I live in a large city in Europe, and those single trips are key. Plus I can rarely drive to the gigs, often have to rely on public transport. I once took a 22, 16, 14, 12, cymbals, hardware on a trolley and walked 2 miles to a gig - never doing that again. :-) This is actually an area I miss on the drumming internet - how we get to and from gigs, with breakables, with a full kit. I don’t believe 100% of us have trucks we can park right up against stage coming straight from our garage. I see you use a 20 inch now and again. That might be something I look at, 22 and 20 are different when it comes to door openings.
I have one trip but since I'm 70 now, I have to break my hardware down into multiple bags to keep from having any single case too heavy. I use a DeWalt rolling toolbox to carry my hat, snare stand and throne base as well as some odds and ends (roll of gaff tape, screwdrivers, pliers etc.). I have two Tama Standard series bags for cymbal stands and a small military carry case for my pedal, floor tom legs, small tom stand, stand light and some spare sticks. My throne top goes into a cheap cymbal bag with no dividers. Then I have the drums (Gretsch USA 18x16, 14x14, 8x12, Yamaha 5.5x14 RC Brass) and cymbal bag. I extend my Rock n Roller cart all the way and pack everything on it along with a rug and Gator Frameworks music stand with a collapsible mic stand type base. Four bungee cords hold everything down and I roll into the venue. I can actually get my big rock kit with four toms on that same cart with the same hardware. If I'm doing something outdoors and there's a lot of wind I have another set of heavier cymbal stands that have a separate rolling case. That's a second trip but in most of those situations I can pull right up to the stage. Drummers are typically pretty good logisticians. 😁
Beautiful kit Rick. ive been wanting to make my own nesting kit but cutting those seam angles is a bit too intimidating for me. Once i get a bench router maybe ill commit
Nice and interesting video, like always, and above all great playing, like always! Speaking of nesting kits: did you see this one: ua-cam.com/video/yk2sttNvzdY/v-deo.htmlsi=ATdm7UAfdKw24qR8 I am obviously biased since I have been playing Tamburo for more than 30 years, but I find this Mia kit very interesting for various reasons: 2 toms (normally nesting kits only have one), lighter joint mechanism, no necessity of foam to preserve heads and shells, nice and light tom mounting system, super nice color (well, that's personal taste!).

Lucky musicians and audience to have you as their drummer
Love the Rick's touch and relaxed sound!
Love that Roller cart as well!!!
Fantastic playing. I love that Ride Cymbal Rick. Beauty.
Rick, your playing is so inspirational! Killer my man!

Hey Rick ! Great kit and very optimized package! Also as usual my compliments for the great performance! Cheers from Lucca. Stefano
Beautiful. I'm amazed this isn't an easily available option.

That's when Jack made them In the store.
Later on, they farmed out production as they do today.

Thanks for a very informative and helpful video, and awesome playing as always!
Nice playing Rick!
Nice kit, but your playing was phenomenal. Those drum breaks were very tasteful and appropriate. I must say, the supra is awesome! 😂
BINGE WATCHING ALL YOUR VIDEOS LIKE CRAZY ❓️👍👀
Hey, Istanbul Jazz SEs! Love those cymbals.
Very nice! I enjoyed your playing also. Are the heavy? I have heard the Yamaha is heavy.
All 3 drums when nested inside the bass drum weigh about 35 pounds. Not heavy at all.
Wow cool
Which iron cobra pedal do you use? 900? Rolling glide?
I use a very old version.
It has a strap, not a chain.
