Seriously, why would anyone ever play anything else after owning these?

jofizzm, that is my all time favorite set of RC's I've ever seen. Perfection.
I would trade three of my kits for those. Damn!
Thank you sir.
There's one one ebay right now, cept the guy wants $2400 for a three piece, and has drilled in another tom mount on the bass drum. Crazy.
There's also a couple 20th anniversary kits on there too, blue fade. Quite nice.
I saw those!
I'm OK with one mount but drilling a second one...yikes. And for $2400. Ha!
I paid $800 for my Quartz Grey RC kit - 12/14/20. Gig with them a lot. Love them.
Love yours more.
Hi All,
There are some lovely kits here, and I apologize if this should in another thread. I just placed my order today for one of the remaining new sets of Deep Blue Recording Customs and am quite excited about it. I know the toms come with Pinstripe batters and Ambassador resonant sides. I'm considering replacing the batters with Remo coated Ambassadors. Assuming some of you have tried that with these particular drums, what were your impressions on how the coated Ambassador batters sounded on the toms?
Thanks in advance.
Interesting that you were able to buy a new RC kit. Did a dealer have it in stock, or was it in Yamaha's warehouse? If it was the warehouse, do you know if there is much left from the Japanese made lines?
I have Black Suede Emperors for my RC tom batters, and just love them. Really warm sounding heads.
I'm sure you know this, but I see a few RC kits in stock at some dealers (Forks Drum Closet being one.) I sure would like to buy one, but they are pretty darn expensive new.
Holy crap BGH! That looks awesome!
Looks like you have successfully rescued another bunch of RC drums from a lifetime of hardship.
I am also in the process of some RC tinkering; I found a 10" RC tom on eBay in my colour - Quartz Grey. But the problem - it's 10" deep too and really wouldn't go with the rest of the kit (12x8, 14x14, 20x14) at all. So I also found some of the shallower RC lugs and its getting cut down to a 10 x 7.5 right now.
But after seeing you do a really good job repainting two RC kits now, you have me thing about doing something about mine too...not crazy about the Quartz Grey.
