I've had this kit for a while, just now getting around to posting it. If you don't know much about the Purewood series, every ply is the wood that's specified. I traded my DW kit into Fork's in Nashville for this baby. So far, I can really tell a difference in sound compared to my old DW's.They have better highs and lows, are more warm and defined, and with the diecast hoops, a lot more attack if I need it. I've really been interested in trying something outside of the maple/birch worlds to find my sound, and I believe I've found it. Anybody who's played one of these kits knows how amazing they are. I threw on an Evans retro-screen on the bass and it's perfect. Because oak seems to resonate so much, I didn't lose too much with the effect of having no reso. All the rest of the heads I've kept original so far and love them (clear G2's over G1's, snare coated G1 over 300 hazy).
8x10, 9x12, 14x14, 16x16, 18x22, 6 1/2x14 snare:
The finish is beautiful, and the sound even more incredible. The trick is for me to play them as well as they look and sound!
Also, totally different set up pics with remote hi-hat to come soon...
