How many feet do you have anyways? ha ha.

Wow - what a setup. Smart move getting the bass drums right away in the sizes you want.

Think you've got enough to hold you for a while? ha ha.

Cameo · May 30, 2012

This is the best thread ever. Thanks! <3

Skulmoski · May 30, 2012

Exceptional! The nice thing about your kit is that you can downsize to approximate a bop kit and everything in between. Lots of flexibility.Enjoy them!

Thanks for sharing.

p.s. I am the proud owner of a one up two down USA Custom kit and after one year, I still smile when I play or look at them. I am sure you have similar feelings.

jt.mcrae · May 30, 2012

Wow what an amazing first post. That is basically my dream kit. I love the walnut with the contrasting gold hardware. Congrats man and welcome to the forum. One request though, can we have some good, clean, unfiltered photos? Just to really show off that finish.

Just stunning. Thank you

alparrott · May 30, 2012

Gorgeous. Looks fun as heck to play, too!

wsabol · May 30, 2012

Absolutely stunning kit.

You have a very intriguing head combo nation on your toms. How do you decide on coated diplomats?

True that. I like the satellite (Weckl influenced, perhaps?) kick. Super nice looking house, too.

I had a gig with a Gretsch USA, and Ambassador Coated were installed as resonance drumheads. I very like it, but i have tried with diplomat for a sound less Jazz. Maybe I will try with clear diplomat or clear ambassador...

Une très belle bête que tu possèdes, tu vas sûrement faire des jaloux ;-)

Félicitation et Bravo !
