thats a really nice finish you got on your saturn :)

dont you just love the sound they produce?

[Hybridt@vo]

Nice choice, Im a Saturn owner myself couldnt be prouder.
The walnut BP has a better finish now but I like the old Deep Forest version (thinner shell)
I own a 14x6.5. Either way Walnut makes an amazing earthy sound loud, and warm is amazing musically IMO

That's a seriously nice kit there. Love the finish.

hey man that kit looks awsome, and these kits sound greats, congrats and enjoy.

Whose autographs do you have behind you, one looks like chad smith, but i dont know.

[Drumrunner]

Gorgeous looking set love the color and the snare.

[Kothlow]

Really nice looking drums for sure, I like your cymbal setup as well. You didnt like the XS20 hats? I'm not saying there is anything wrong with your hats, just seems you bought everything else XS20.

Sounds crazy, but i reckon he might have bought the XS20 set originally and then when he got a bit of money together decided to upgrade to a better model of hihat, the AAXs.

Cool set + cool sound = cool playing

Mapex rocks! haha

[darknessdude16]

The head on the left is signed by some of the guys at a local radio station (Kerrang 105.2). The cymbal is signed by Aaron from Billy Talent and Darrin from Goldfinger, and the head on the right is signed by Chad Smith.

eddiehimself, you're right, I did buy the Xs20 pack but decided to upgrade to the AAX's and sold the Xs20's on eBay.

you live near kerrang? That's kinda cool. See you're from brum, well i'm from hull. Funny that, isn't it? Nice signings though, pretty good. Is that one of the cymbals you bought originally or did you win it or something in a competition by kerrang!?

[thewill]

what's the elite hardware like? becuas ei like quite close to Birmingham and im looking for new hardware.

[freebirdgdw]

can I ask what the vater things are on top of you cymbal stands? Ive seen them before but have no idea what they do over a standard wingnut.

[drums32]

beautiful nice xs20s too i have em and they are really good for the price but i might go for an aax or aa crash instead of buying an 18 inch xs20 crash to go with my 16 inch xs20
