Hello everyone. I've been lurking a while, checking out your kits and finally settled on this DW. It's a Collectors series, tobacco burst in hard satin over birds eye maple. I had seen other kits in this a similar finish but the pictures didn't seem to do them justice. In diffuse ambient light they look stunning. Have had them two days and I'm already planning a 12" mate for the rack tom!

5x14 VLT snare
8x10 VLT tom
12x14 X shell floor tom
14x16 X shell floor tom
18x22 X shell kick
9000 pedals and hardware
Various Sabian crashes and a lonely '70s Zildjian ride

TD20
Tempus 6 piece

WOW! This set is beautiful! I can only imagine how incredible it sounds!

I am actually looking into buying a DW set soon.

Mind if I ask how much this set was?

After a three month wait the total for the shells, taxes in, $6800 Canadian. The pedals and hardware was another $2000... for now. Can't take them out of the house to gig 'till I can afford cases.
 
Very nice!

DWs rock. Great kits and yours looks spectacular.

Enjoy!
 
Awesome finish. They look like fine furniture in the middle of the living room.
 
Wow, thats an awsome kit, just a real nice finish and setup, love the double pedal - congrats and welcome to the forum!
 
Absolutely STUNNING drumset you have there. The hardware is equally incredible.

Congrats on a GREAT set!!!!

I love the "optical illusion" that the 10" rack makes the kick look larger than it is. Sweet lookin' kit.
 
Hey Steelwheels, Your kit is beautiful man. It looks like it's straight out of a dw brochure.
The Drums go really well with your furniture too..
 
I think the word I'm looking for is tits.

Yes.

Those drums are tits.


That satin oil finish is jaw droppingly beautiful, I'd hardly want to take those drums anywhere in case they got scratched.

I can only hope my Ebony Satin Oil DW I have on order looks half as good as that. How much extra did the X shells and VLT cost? I just went with collectors shells on the toms and built in bottoms on the floors, it racked the price up a good 2 grand (in AUD).
 
Nice!! Hey does your wife let you have your drums set up there all the time? Mine are in the basement.
 
I love the look of the new badges.
That is one classy kit. Congrats.
