After tweeking the tom positions up and down, to and fro; I believe I got them where I like them. Here they are...AGAIN!!

That is a fine set-up! Are those new Imperialstars?

Thank you for the compliment!! Yes, they are the new Imps...however I do feel that TAMA took a step backwards by making them from poplar wood but it's my first set(hopefully a starclassic maple in the years to come will be next)and I'm groovin'. Still figuring out the tuning on them.

BTW, your set is one I admire, those homemade octobans are something else. I'd like to make some.

Bass: 18x22
Toms:12x9 13x10
Floor: 16x16
Snare: 14x5.5

Sabian 16" HH Medium Thin Crash (my baby)
Meinl 14" hats, 20" ride, 12" china (this pie is sweet!!)
Zildjian vintage 18" crash; not sure what line but the company stamp is from the late '50s to early '60s. Alittle too brash for my taste but it was free and it's something to use. Wouldn't mind trading it.

they look fine but I can't get over the use of plastic bass drum hoops.
