Hey guys, I realise it's not a cocktail kit but it's pretty close! (a cocktail is my next project)

I've been collecting the pieces for awhile now. The goal is to make a drum kit that you can carry in one trip, including all hardware. The 8" is off my export kit, I have a 10" that I'm waiting to buy hoops for, then I plan to cut it in half and make a snare and tom . Right now I'm using a stand for the ride and 12" tom but I have a two tom holder that I'm going to attach to the top of the bass drum. I also plan on painting the whole thing a nice emerald green, probably. I may even add another to the side to hold the new snare, I'm not sure yet. Any suggestion on how I can make this thing as portable as possible?
I also bought a 14" floor tom but it doesn't fit inside the bass because of the legs. I'm going to make that into a sit down cocktail drum though, so it's all good.
As for the sound, it's pretty gutsy for a little drumkit, I've only just got it to sound decent today, the bass drum is really punchy for a 16", I taped a bankcard inside the skin and taped a small rolled up town against to bottom, there is no resonate skin (for easy stacking).

My micro kit, it's almost alive!
Whoops, over sized image.
Guess I should have scaled that one down.

Actually, it's a percussion plus floor tom. I picked it up for $80 brand new at the local drum shop, they're meant to be $100 but it didn't have legs so i got it cheaper, which is fine because I planned to use it as a BD.
