very sweet set-up! I love it.

[Big_Philly]

Nice! How is that starclassic copper snare drum?

[drumbandit]

Not sure what is it, but the 10" tom with that snare just looks great!
That snare is a beast, great setup.

Tom

[Frummer]

Thanks!

Big_Philly - I wanted to get a new batter head today so, I kinda did a quick tune up and cranked it quite a big. Holy crap! It has woodiness, not the typical ring of other metal snares, dark and fat! Very sensitive too....

[punkdrummer1]

woah, very nice. Love the finish, and that china stack :D

[nx1600]

Love the set up, china stack looks cool, but How do you like the snare....I have looked at one of these, just can't decide....

Opnion PLease...big Please,

[Frummer]

nx1600 - well that depends on what kind of snare sound you want and what you are comparing it with...haha

[Mr. Pasquini]

That is awesome! Check out where my stagestar has gone... I love your setup, it's so nice and that copper snare is a great addition!

[stasz]

Awesome set. The finish and cymbals match perfectly. What music do you play along to?

[Tuxido]

great looking kit.

How do you like having an 18" x 14" bass drum ? does the sound project well ? is it muffled ? Do you have any sound clips ?

[NIMBY]

your setup is so clean, everything is just perfect

[Frummer]

Mr Pasquini - Yo my stagestar buddy! Wow looked how your set has progressed! I still remember when it was "just another stagestar".haha!

youenjoy00myself - Well, I play along to stuff like Keane,Maroon5,Alicia Keys...heck ...even Dream Theater

Tuxido - Well my previous setups had 2 pillows inside. Now its just a rolled towel taped to the batter head. Sings more this way. WAY more oomph! ( i've pretty much grown out of the THUD sound ) Projects well?Hmm, not too sure. It's just a home practice kit. And unfortunately, no sound clips as yet.

Up next would be a better throne and snare stand ( currently its from a friend of mine ). And of course...splashes!

[Wavelength]

Oh man, nothing's better than a four-piece kit with plenty of cymbals...

...well, except for maybe a six-piece.

Indeed, a cat who can make a 4 piece kit work, and inversely, work a 4 piece kit, will be the guy "walking in the valley of the shadow...and fearing not!" Great kit, nice sizes, awesome cymbals...
