======DRSKit======
DRSKit came to be as a collaboration between the DrumGizmo team and Jes Eiler of [[http://www.drsdrums.dk|DRSDrums]]. Jes creates handcrafted drumkits under his own label with an attention to detail not often seen on the market.

We gave him a call and asked if he would supply a kit for us to record. And being the stand-up guy that he is, he offered to lend us an entire kit for free. The kit contains the following components (Left / right placements as seen by the drummer):

  * 1 kickdrum
  * 1 hanging tom
  * 2 floor toms
  * 1 snare
  * 1 hihat: Paiste Formula 602 Medium hi-hat
  * 2 crash cymbals
    * Left: Paiste Giant Beat
    * Right: Paiste Formula 602 (Lend to us by Erik)
  * 1 ride cymbal: Paiste Formula 602 thin crash
The kit should be usable for everything from jazz to rock.
