PHOTOS: Shannon Forrest's new drum kit with TOTO!

Honestly, I'm not really sure what I think about that kit...but for my money, I wouldn't be going with that finish...

Ok, from a distance, the rack and rims do cover up these great looking drums...
But I think the finish is perfect...

Anyway, congrats to Kelly and Co - very fitting that Shannon is on the gig, and playing Bradys...

You're right....I fucking hate it...and it's gay too.

Wait a tick here- a fantastic drummer is on what is arguably a dream gig for all of us, the kit was shared with us by a member of the drumming community, and all we can do is shit all over the color of the kit, the drum rack, tom arms, and other irrelevant bullshit? Please.

"...and it's gay too"

...um, what? Were you being sarcastic or something?

The kit looks great, Shannon is going to kill it with Toto, and I'm damn sure the drums sound great too. That's all I've got.

Yes, sarcasm is my fff...

[willyz]

Yeah, I'd suggest you rework your sense of sarcasm, mate. And unless you're an 11 year old, homophobic, right-wing, Christian from the south of the United States, I'd stop calling things 'gay'.

You don't want to go there homie!

God DAMN this user base is feisty!

No wonder new topics have slowed down to one every couple of weeks.

Nothing wrong with sarcasm. Its fun. You read it and move on. No need to reply to it. Contrast is fun.

I can see where some are turned off about the kit. Lots of metal. Color is cool.

Shannon plays for the music. His fills and transition ideas are tasty. He makes the music flow. He's not a soloist tho.

Simon is perfect for the toto gig. Hard to fill his shoes. Big kit. Huge sound. Drum god. Amazing musican. His time is impeccable.
