very nice im guessing peart :p

how long ago did you get it, and how long did you have to wait trying to find out how fast dw is making them atm see how long till mine is done :p
 
Damn, and I thought my gold on black deebubs were blinging. Respect sir. That looks absolutely s**t hot.

I might have to a trip to Switzerland just to chuck the two kits side by side.

Well, to be honest I did not find out who your favorite drummer is, but finally that's not really important. What IS important is that your kit is absolutely gorgeous! Chapeau!

What about the 23" bass drum?
 
Gango, that's an amazing kit. Love it. I'm just going out on a limb here but I gonna guess you have an intrest in Neil Peart.
 
didnt think this would be happening but i can finally post here :D

Wow guys! All these awesome pictures are making me even more excited for the one i'm buying soon!

I had one question hopefully you guys could clear up. I went on the dw kit builder and when I got the quote for my set it came up as close to $4900. At first I was disappointed but then I read the quote it gives is usuall very high and you can negotiate to 30% less. Any truth to this?

Also any examples on how many pieces your set is with the price you got for it new would be well appreciated.

Thanks!!
 
Well, I'm part of the family now XD... (that package is awesome, the drum key owns).

Just went to Dale's Drum Shop in Harrisburg, PA. Have to say, it was INCREDIBLE! They had at least 50+ sets in their shop, with 10+ of them being DWs. And their collection of what seems to be nearly 300 cymbals is KILLER(about to make a road trip again soon)!

But anyways, I got a steal on this new kit I just got and I'm loving it. Specs are:

DW Collectors Series
White Twisted Silk Finish
Chrome Hardware

8x10 Rack Tom VLT
9x12 Rack Tom VLT
14x16 Floor Tom(w/ legs) X-Shell
18x22 Bass Drum VLX
14x5.5 Snare Drum VLT
9500 DW Hi Hat Stand
9300 Series Snare Stand

And also with the mix, I got an awesome Gibraltar Rack System for 50% off.

All in all, the total came out to be $3890 and some change, and I have to say, I feel that it was a steal.

Well here are the pics
(see next post)

Sorry, the pictures didn't attach right.

By the way, the DW 9000 pedal and airlift chair I already owned before I bought this and please ignore my crappy cymbals, they're my next purchase :p.
