Mine are the 1976/77 and 1980/81 drum kits. Both Ludwigs with a mixture of Paiste and Zildjian cymbals. Also, the tympani drums kicked ass. Watch the WWRY film and Roger was just all over the place whaling on the drums.

The Ludwig kit from the Day at the Races and News of the World tours. It was like an arsenal of drums. The recording of his kit on those albums is what makes me listen to them over and over. Big and open sounding. A great live drum sound. The BBC recordings for the "News" tracks have some thunderous drums on them as well. Queen II has a great drum sound too.
I agree with everybody else. The Works tour kit sucked. Roger wore that shirt "Ban Nuclear War". I think it should have read, "Nuke My Kit."

I like the kit from the Magic Tour specifically Wembley '86
I think the best drum kit [i have heard so far] has got to be the one he used in Here I Am music video, but thats just me.
In "I want it all" is a part with the double bassdrums. That's in the very fast solo part. Roger got always very big drums with a lot of cymbals. He used to have zildjian and paiste cymbals and a wuhan china. But in the magic tour he only had zildjian cymbals (and I love them. His best kit was in the hot space tour in 1982. It sounds really great and massive (check the milton keyes dvd) and it looks very cool. For the first time I also thought the electric drums sounded great.
You think the synth drums sounded good on MK? Wow.. in my opinion I think they were a little much.. but hey.. we are all entitled to opinions.. its just, Only MINE count.. ;-P
My favorite kit was the Game Tour.. with the Tymphs... and that face looking at you.. it was cool..

Roger Taylor best drum kit was probably his kit from the '86 Magic Tour. He had a seven piece set with a Roland Ocatapad that created the trigger effect.
