the much awaited yammie maple custom here here!

this is the most beautifull finish a've ever seen on yamaha drums!!!!

thank you, Radeq.. it is pretty unusual and rarely seen. Looks much nicer in real life than in pics, because the striping on the lacquer seem to blur in the camera.

glad you like it.
 
Your pics cant do the justice of the real beauty..I believe the reality is muchhhhhhhhhhhhh more beautiful! :D I need to see your drum's finish in person..it must be so amaaaaazing!!!! :D
 
so you settled on the finish?

you'll probably regret that more and more over time. it's pretty simple to re-wrap drums with what you like though
 
Re: much awaited yammie maple custom UPDATE!

Here's my highly anticipated YAMAHA absolute maple nouveau in an embossed silver finish. Would have preferred a more natural finish, but just couldn't wait. I can live with this.

No, the pics arent backwards, I am. A lefty.


Also,just set it up, so please excuse the brand tags still hanging from the drums. All the cymbals aren't up either.

The dimensions are: 22", 16",14",12",10",8" , PEARL chad Smith sig. snare, very dry n crisp, just the way I like it.

PEARL eliminators chain drive double pedals ( also use DW 5000s as backups )

Cymbals are:

13" A-CUSTOM hats, 20" K special dry ride, 16" A-CUSTOM fast crash, 14" A-CUSTOM fast crash, 17" PAISTE 2002 crash ride, 16" ZILDJIAN crash, 8" and 6" ZILDIJIAN splashes, 16" ZILDJIAN China Boy

Closing the show is the other love of my life, Leo!

Let me know what you all think

whatcha think,Clint?

Will update with all the cymbals soon

Good things come to people who wait : )

You wont be disappointed.
 
Just added a couple of neat splashes on the kit. Breaking away from the All Zildjian show, is a Paiste Twenty series 10" complex splash

and a Zildjian ACustom 8" splash.

( sorry, this is a 12'" SPLASH, will post pix on kit soon )


Adds nice color and definition.
 
Hey Frank!

These two add interesting color to the rest of my cymbal sound. The Paiste is a very complex, unusual but smooth splash.. or more like a very short crash. Its got an unlathed bell. The little ACustom is like half way between a bell and a splash.. very short, very sharp.

Sounds awsome. I should look into those Paiste splashes when I go to the store next time. It kind of looks like the Sabian HHX.

Do you have some video's of yourself playing by the way? I am very curious.

Nothing much Frank, except some shorts with a phone camera when I'm working on something

Thanks DMC. No sound files really except some short wanks with phone cameras on youtube.

These drums are really spectacular sounding, and believe me, I'm unbiased when I say that

PS_ Here's a little practice riff me and Sy and Brennan were working out in the studio:
