.... (and no Yamaha after 20 1/2 years)
....And Artstar, that is the brand indeed
Those are some awesome drums! I like the shade of red, it's nice and vibrant!Gotta love the RC (eventhough not my first choice, classic kits none the less)
I got some spare time and space this week, so it was time to come closer to my final favorite setup.
Wes,
How do you use the gong drum? I see you have mics in it and triggers on it.

Yamaha/Akira's new signature snare is … a 1.0mm steel shell? Really?

Resonance Control Binding
Featuring Akira Jimbo and Yamaha's newly developed Resonance Control Binding, the Akira Jimbo snare gives drummers more flexibility in as they search for their own sound. The Resonance Control Binding can be tightened or opened around the snare frame to cut out excess noise or adjust sustain, and used in a range of different configurations to give complete control over the resonance of the drum.
The snare shell features a 1 mm ply that affords a tighter sound and feel by cutting out excess noise. The attractive exterior finishing is performed at the same factory as our flagship PHX Series, producing a drum that looks as good as it sounds.
And a video of the snare:

Hard to tell how well the rope works really just from watching the video.
Interesting concept. I'd rely have to hear it / try it in person.
The price point will be a big factor here (I know it always is)…I might be interested if it's priced close to an average steel shell snare. If it's priced like a signature snare (double $$$) then good luck with that Yamaha.
I like it, just not that much.

The App for the Multi 12 is amazing. It adds tons of stuff like the option to add big files (bigger then the internal memory can handle) and quick edit the (user) kits.
I use it on my iPad.
