We played an outdoor patio gig at a place downtown called Pat O'Briens. I knew loading in and out would be a pain and there was a chance of t-storms, so I decided to go small. Fortunately the only rain we saw was a few hours before the show. My band mates flipped out a bit when they realized I had no toms, but I'd played this way before and I knew I could pull it off. It makes you approach the kit differently, we play mainly classic rock so I had to change up my game a bit. It can be quite challenging and fun scaling down sometimes.

Pretty liberating to go with a bikini kit. Done it lots of times. It's just hard to leave your matching toms at home, when you've worked so hard to find them.............marko

Not the bandmates problem whether tom or not. Glad you had fun and the others will get used to the sound !!!

I love the small set-up. I do a semi-regular cocktail bar gig with just a snare and a pair of brushes. Now THAT makes you think about your playing!

I'd like to see more pics of setups w/o toms. I played a gig with a pro that used only a snare and kick, but he used a double BD pedal. Very cool and interesting for "classic" rock/pop.

Doing a two piece set is fun once in a while. I've done a bunch of small pub/unplugged gigs with just a snare, bass and hi-hat. You definitely need to rethink your approach.
