My New Craviotto 4 Piece Kit (!)

Ever win an eBay auction with a "Best Offer" you thought couldn't possibly be accepted?
Anyway...here's my new toy!
9x13, 16x16, 14x22, 6.5x14 Snare
I will try and post some audio after it arrives in a week or so.

Johnny signs the inside of his shells in big, black marker. I don't know if it's every shell on his kits, I'll find out shortly.

I hate to talk about cost, but I'll tell you if you PM me. I got them for significantly less than a brand new kit, because they were used for a month or so. Still got the tags on them, though and allegedly in perfect shape.

[Skulmoski]

Love that kit! No doubt it is heirloom quality. I watched it on eBay too.

Good one!

I wish I were wealthy enough to keep everything. Had to sell a couple really nice snares once I found out I won the Craviotto Auction.

hey if I had enough snares that I could sell a few to buy a Craviotto I would be the happiest man on Earth. Although I'm by no means complaining about the gear I do have it's just...

Sexy kit man!! Can't wait to see it with your Signatures. Congrats on getting that offer accepted when you thought it wouldn't be!

Thanks! Your Warlord Kit is pretty sweet.

[KONA]

Absolutely beautiful.

They are some of my favorite drums. I haven't been fortunate enought to have seen any close up and live. But, just reading about them and seeing photos & videos is enough to convince me that they are exceptional.
Well done - awesome drums!

[Arrold]

What a beautiful kit! Love the natural finish, and those lugs look great. Bet it sounds nice too. Congrats on your kit! :)

Now that is the resolution I like pictures in! Great kit man. Very special.

[zlumpy]

Gorgeous photos, and gorgeous kit. You are a lucky man. I can't wait to hear it!

[boomstick]

Wow!!!

So?? Now that you have them in your possession, how do they sound?

[hateplow]

They sound very natural and woody. Full and resonant. Not as dry as I expected. I have a day off tomorrow and will record some audio.

[Mendozart]

Holy crap Plow! That is one fine kit you have attained there.

[Signals]

That is a wonderful kit sir -- congrat's!

LOL @ the plastic bag pieces stuck to some of the lugs in pics 2, 3 and 4 -- tells me that you took the drums out of their bags in a hurry. I do it all of the time! :)

I couldn't contain myself!
There's audio posted in the "Your Playing" section now if your curious on how they sound.

[Signals]

Fantastic -- thanks sir!

You need to vacuum your carpet. Maybe even give it a steam cleaning.

I'll pay you a dollar to do it for me.

[wloeb]

What happened? Any story with the 24" bass drum?

[GRUNTERSDAD]

And now it's for sale???

[Fishbones]

does it really get any better quality than this/ i mean is there actually a kit that someone could say is superior to this? i know that once you get to the ultra high end kits, everything sounds pretty amazing, but i cant think of a way u could make a kit like that sound particularly bad

[TwentyEightyFive]

Congratulations!!
That is one cool kit!
Sounds good, and yeah, what Gruntersdad said, is it for sale now?

Why would you part with it?

[ANIMALBEATS]

these kits might even be brady beaters

Fish, as far as "quality" ?? Well of course. There are plenty of kits that possibly have better everything. Sound is subjective. I have heard solid shelled kits that sound really good, as well as Stave kits. For me personally, it is not like a quantum leap in sound from the top ply shell kits to a solid shell kits.

Here, go look at these:
