I started playing again about a year ago after a hiatus in college and when I lived in an apartment. The drums are new but the cymbals are they same ones that I had when I was playing in high school...this set has been fun to play again.

Wow. Great kit! I like the fact that you incorporate a lot of percussion into your drumset.

Looks like a complete set from my vantage. Love the tom set up.

[gasypo]

Thanks guys.

I always get tempted to add another thing or two but not sure if it is worth it.

I am really enjoying the gajate bracket...trying to incorporate that has been fun.

Look very comfy setup, glad to have you back in the community.

I like everything, great setup (look very much like mine, take a look in my sig).

[radeq]

yes, AI agree it looks very comfortable to play :)

I bought the 8 and 10 add-on toms (a real good value) but didn't like the four toms up front because the hi-hats seemed to far away. So I put the 13" on a snare stand by the 16" Floor tom to make it a lot more comfortable.

I know the accent's are an entry level kit, but I really like them. The hardware that came with it was great!

[Big Beat]

That does look like it would be a fun set to play, lots of things to hit other than drums too! Very cool.

[NYdrummerdude]

very nice set, looks like a set with alot of variation to it

[gasypo]

After seeing some of the refinished drum sets online, I decided to give it a shot. Let me know what you think. I am pretty happy with the way it looks.

Wow, looks very even and clean. I noticed you added a number of things in the process. How long did it take you to refinish the kit?

Thanks.

I got the piccolo snare (Ludwig 3x13) for Christmas.

It took about 3 hours to take everything apart, 2-3 hours for my wife to get the glue off/sand the drums. From there, I put 6 coats of clear gloss on every 2-3 hours, 3 hours to put everything back on.
