Show Off Your DW Kit

Nice, congrats! How long did the order take?

It actually didn't take any time at all. I contacted a drum shop to get a quote on the exact kit and they replied with a picture of it letting me know it was in their store. They're just holding it for me until I get back from vacation. :D
 
These on of my two Collectors. It'd be cool to have a Classics now... just need to sell the Tama Birch/Bubinga.

SOLD the Tama! Got another DW... Jazz that is! Sorry for the not so good pics. Black Ice, 24" Bass, 13", 16", 18". Life's good! Cheers!

Please post better lighted pictures if you can. I would really like to see the finish on your new kit.

Thanks,

...This kit was used for an Alex Acuna clinic at Long&McQuade in Edmonton.

They had been sitting for a while, so the store was willing to deal on them. I had been making a half hearted attempt at selling my 24,16, 13, 14 Collectors kit, but was not having much luck.



After a couple of months of back and forth between the devil on my left and the Angel on my right, they finaly came to an agreement, as did the store and myself.

The drums are 18, 14, 12. I did not bother with the snare as I already have a couple of spares.

From my initial setup and noodling, these drums are going to take some getting used to. My Classics are so big, warm and boomy, while these Jazz drums are a little on the poonky side. I knew that about them, and wanted them for that contrast. I just have to find the head and tuning combo that makes me smile every time I hit them.

I had Remo Coated Ambassadors on my DW Jazz kit in the same configuration as yours and switched out the tom heads top and bottom to Evans J1 etched and the bass drum better to an Evans Emad Coated 1 ply batter and the kit's sound is just perfect now.The J1's are very warm but still very resonant and the coated EMAD is perfect for this drum.I still use a full coated front head on the bass drum with nothing inside. Perfect tone and just the right combination of articulation and boom.

Is it a silver sparkle wrap?.

I ask because I know where there is a "new, old stock" 4pc DW from 2005 in silver sparkle wrap for $1600 and I am obsessed with getting it. Cant afford it now though. :(

Gonna cry now...

It's called broken glass. Look for deals on craigslist. That is were I got them and they were less then 1600. Keep looking, you will find a great kit.
 
Here's my collector's series. First pic was taken on my mobile phone whilst setting it up for the first time..ohhh yess
