The Jordan will give you a "fatter" sound. Yamaha's 6.5" snares are really good. I think the Jordan has reinforcement hoops? I like that. The absolute will have more ring to it. The maple custom (not absolute) is 10-ply maple. I'm not sure that Yamaha is making the custom snare anymore. The absolute maple may be all they offer. My snare is this:

Those are some of the most beautiful drums I've seen in a while. You must be very proud. I almost want to jump into the comp and play it.
thanks, DCD, I really enjoy them, after playing a tama imperial star for 15 years! Love your stuff too. great sizes, great funky set-up, great cymbals, and that snare look like it could kill! awesome!
Thanks PdoubleE, Leo's my 3rd Boxer. Went thru putting down my other two some years ago. Its never easy and you never forget them. Ya, the kit is cool looking, tho these pics I took at night with a flash, so they look a little too intense. They look nicer in natural light or warmer stagelights.
Sorry about your girl

yup, its pretty unusual, havent seen to many like this! Red sparkles...ummmm, might take you up on that ; 0
Hey, A, that is a great looking finish.I think it's the first time I've seen it. I love the kit and you have quite the cymbals. The dog is a beauty too. What do the A Custom HH's sound like? How do they sound with the Dry Ride. Would you change or are you satisfied with the HH's.Again, all great. Joey
Thanks Joey, glad you like it. Its pretty unusual and looks a little better if not seen via flash photography at night.. will try taking better pics during the day or at a gig ( tho using my old Imperial Stars for gigs..)
The hat are 13" and awesome.No thoughts of changing at all. Though I was very tempted by the Paiste Signature power hi hats . The ACustoms 13"s are very balanced and they cut through beautifully. I prefer them over my New Beat 14s".More " CHIIICK"
I also have a 14" set of Orions ( Brazilian ) dimpled, which are pretty good, and i sometimes use on a x-hat.
The Dry Ride is very nice. Very clear stick definition, tho I wish it had a little more sustain than it does. I also use a 22" Zildijian mini-cup. Prefer the dry over the mini.
The AC16" fast crash is awesome. Not thrilled with the 14" fast, but am still trying to configure my cymbals and make an 'overall selection'.
Leo's great.Wont think of changing him, either ; ) He's loves snoozing between the pedals, when I practice...

Thanks GD, No the legs are'nt up that high. must be an optical illusion... or maybe its the outside legs, which are taller so that the drums tilt towards me..
