Tasty kit, nice bronze too!

The kit looks great, really clean and classy looking. Nice pic too, remind me a bit of a young sly stallone!

Nice and classy kit!

Can you tell us something more about the snare? I never herd this brand before, and it looks really interesting (not very common to see a metal shell with wood hoops).

beautiful kit bro!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Let me know when you get tired of that snare.

I love LCM - just fantastic drums. It's what I'm going to buy when I finally get a 26" kick.

Everything about your set up screams pure class. All high-end expensive gear. I hope you are doing some recording with that beauty ... or at least plan to.

I recently found this thread on a New Classic kit. You should check this out.

They Look Beautiful... ( I want one :p )
Nice cymbal set up also..

What does that heavy Snare sound like?

Best,

Thanks for the nice comments.
It seems like I'm a ever shrinking on my taste for drum sets. You all know what a pain in the arse is to tranport it around. So, 4 pc set it is! Lg loads no more.

The snare is a beauty in looks and killer in sound. It's a mix o fat sound with overtones. I'm using a Evans batter head that has the inner ring right now, it gives just the right amount of ring. I was told by Greg, from Artisan percussion that the snare would sound better w/ die cast hoops, I haven't tried it yet but I have my eyes in some ebay auctions.
The throw is Dunnet with purecussion snare.

Different strokes for different folks. Keep the wood, buy some diecast, have both. Beautiful kit.

Very nice kit and set up!
