I really envy you right now...what was your last kit before this one? And are the cymbals new too?

Thanks for the response :) I had a Roland HD-1 and it was pretty cool to beat around on and my kids thought it was cool but when I traded it in and got this the kids were like WHOA..... I hope to pass on the interest to them. I got the Raw Bell Dry Ride used at a local shop for 90 bucks and it is in great condition. I just bought the AAX Stage hats and AAX plosion crash new at GC while I was in Greenville SC this past weekend. They had them marked way down even with paying tax I ended up cheaper than off the internet. I am liking the sound of all of them but I think I'm needing a 16" crash real soon....

Thanks man! You should see it in person, the pictures really don't do it justice..... I saw it in the show room and drooled a little. P.S. I love the finish on your kit as well....

Thanks guys. That makes me feel really good. Yes it was used. It was dirty but in great shape. I guess I kinda stretched the truth because I forgot that I traded an extra throne I had and he gave me 30 bucks for it so really I gave him 120 bucks for it.......

Nice kit buddy, looks good, can't go wrong with Mapex they are fantastic. I quite enjoy the finish as well.
Good for you, good choice.
