That is a stellar set, I absolutely love the way the white bass drum head looks against the darker finish........

Are you gonna be ordering in anything else?

Thanks for the compliments! As good as it looks, it sounds even better.

I'm not sure which direction to go as far as more add-ons. I kinda put myself in a weird spot by ordering a 15x15 floor. I'm not sure a 16x16 would be enough separation from the 15. An 18 would be too big.
Maybe a 22x18 kick, or an 14x8 snare.
I'm broke for now, so I'll have plenty of time to think about it.

As always...beautiful drums HP...love the additions.

I vote for a 26" kick. Why not go for something wildly different than what you've already got? A 22" would be a waste, IMO.

Two beautiful combos there. Paiste Sigs and a SQ2. It doesn't get any better.

My man you are playing Gretsch Purewood Bubinga. I wouldn't be too jealous. I keep looking at those as an upgrade.

I also really like that purewood kit...it's pretty unique.

Love the kit man. Nice finish. they are great kits
I just bought myself an SQ2 in the Stratawood finish. Best buy ever. I have a 10x8, 12x8, 16x14, 22x20 BD and a 14x6 SD,.The kick sounds like a cannon. I am using coated Remo Emperors on the toms. Just out of interest. what skins are you using and whats your sound like?
speak soon.

Hey, Gaz. I am using Evans Clear g2s on top and clear g1s on the bottom. I am using an Evans EMAD on the kick, with an Evans pillow in the kick.

This kit sounds incredibly resonant. It sounds EQ'd. Very good projection, with a very pronounced "Doooo" pitch bend. Phil Collins like. I just started using a drum dial to help tune my kit, and it has really made the sound amazing and consistent.

Can't wait to see some pics of the Stratawood!
