      Yes sir! Ohh and... I think that a studio setup for this rendering would really make it 'pop'... something like this...

            Modelhead,

            When I started playing as a teen I had a kit with a similar "orange psycodelic" (sp) finish similar to this, except the scale was a lot smaller with little lt. purple and other swirlies - - but hey it was the 70's

            great work - takes me back to the day.............. 😎

              That looks great! 😎

              My only suggestion would be to offset the shell for the bass drum so you could make the inner shell the color of maple.

              I have not played in over 15 years - pretty much stopped when the twins were born. Been getting the itch to get the kit out of the attic and set it up & let out some frustrations. Went to a band concert the other night for the twins where they play all of the pre-game and halftime music from this recently completed football season. Made that itch a little scratchier, and also took me back 30 years to when I was up on that stage. Your post has also made me think back to those days in HS whenI ran around with 2 other drummers - we were pretty much inseperable. When one of our sets of parents were out for the day on a weekend - we used to go over to that person's house and take turns for hour long intervals for jamming throughout the day. I still don't know how our parents ever put up with it when they were home.

              Anyway - back to your finish question. I don't know what renderer you use, but Kerky has a couple of metal flake paint materials for cars - I attached a sample on a set I dloaded from the warehouse. Kept the finishes simple - was just trying to show the flake. You can see it best in the shadowed area of the bass below the tom.

              Thanks for the post, and I am glad to see the progress you are making on your set.

                  Bruce,

                  Don't know what renderer(s) you do use, but it woud probably be best to find a map of the material. I think you are probab;y talking bout something like this; http://www.dwdrums.com/drums/toms/finishply/fp-ruby-glass.htm The one in kerky is a composite material - takes much longer to achieve the best result.

                  Don't worry about the nuts and washers - the level of detal you have is fine. The maple interior shell with maybe worn felt beater pad on the bass head would make it a little more realistic. Your work here has inspired me I think I will try to model up a kit when I get some free time around the holidays.

                  None of my kids picked up the drums - but we currently have one that plays tuba & trombone, and another the french horn. I must admit I actually enjoy hearing them practice most of the time, however the first few months of the french horn were difficult at times.

                      Bruce,

                      That's freeking awesome! πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                      Since you already have the cymbal stands modeled seperately - might as well just mount the toms on the bass drum. I always wondered what impact the extra hole and hardware have on the sound of the bass drum shell?

                      How did you do the hammered finish on the ride cymbal - incredible!

                        Wow...the last few renders look like photos...great model and awesome renders! I think your kit has a real old school feel to it, so I would go with bass drum mounted rack toms. The texture on the ride is killer. If you really want an accurate look you might consider putting a front head on the bass drum with a cutout for a microphone. Fantastic work!

                        Progress (about ΒΌ% done)

                          Amazing model and renders Bruce! Fishing for a job with Pearl's marketing department? These could easily be promo images.

                            Other than attaching the tom toms as you mentioned, the only thing that seems to be missing is the heads to be worn in the center from hours of use. That is unless you are going for a showroom render.
                            Nice work Bruce. Now just add that flugel you made, a stand up base and a guitar and I can smell the smoky dive now.
