...and Paiste Sound Creation Dark Heavy Hi-Hats

Wow!! I almost missed this detail, tacked on to the end of the post almost like an afterthought, lol...let's see some more of those hi-hats! Any sound clips? They must sound gorgeous. Nice kit also, set up very nicely.
 
Beautiful kit.....I KNOW they sing.....Love the finish.....I also have that snare......Do you still have the stage kit????I Still have mine after getting a Birch Custom kit..I still drag that kit around for gigs im not to sure about....Thing takes a beating but still does the job.and i dont worry about the singer not catching the tambourine!
 
Yeah I still have the Stage Custom Kit, it still rocks. I noticed you do have the same snare but yours is the Copper version. How do you like it?

The copper really bits when tuned tight its crisp like bacon.And one heavy drum.
 
...beautiful!
I think my dream set is a Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute Nouveau in vintage natural finish.
Once again, beautiful!
 
It's funny how the hook lug absolutes have been out for like two years but you never see them in stores or online. I'm sure the five month wait was worth it. I would love to update to a hook lug absolute kit.
