Yes, depending on the shell diameter, that's how thickness differ. With bass drums (this and future 22" and 24") being 3mm
Oh nice! Will you be offering depths greater than 14"? You are going to be very bad for my wallet.

I've been so blown away with this kit since I have had it. I'm consistently blowing sound guys minds with the tone, and the kit seems so adaptable to heads and tunings. It's just an amazing kit.
It's the Supraphonic/Acrolite of kits. Not coincidentally, made of the same shell material. I myself think I lean toward brass/copper for a metal shell kit, just for the sheer sound enjoyment, but the natural dryness of aluminum, combined with the extreme consistency of the shells/edges, as well as the lighter weight and lower cost of aluminum, will make this a far more widely-used kit than copper or brass will probably ever be.
I don't know if it's the alloy or the process or whatever but I generally find the Oriollo shells to have more resonance and liveliness than the Supra/acro. Translated to kit form, it works well because they are in the moderate range sustain wise and remind me of some of my vintage drums as far as resonance goes.
Lately I've heard some brass kits and a lot of people were making a big deal of it, but sonically it didn't do much for me. Copper on the other hand I think would make a wonderful kit
My Oriollo phantom 65 is more lively than my previous supras. It's got a roundness that the supras didn't have.

Which brass kits? I have a Lang Percussion copper kit, just straight bearing edges with no flange, and they sound great, but still not as resonant as my Jenkins-Martin Blaemire. I've got a brass 16" floor tom on order from Echo Drums, we'll see how that sounds when it gets here. It's got a flanged edge, but a floor tom that big needs one, I feel.
By the way, your playing on these recordings is super tasty.
Thanks for posting these Josh. Pretty much as I imagined with the room mic's still playing a big soundscape part. Nowhere near as much "weight" to the tom sound in particular compared to the EQ'd version, but still sounding very nice, & more importantly, very useable.I'm not hearing night and day differences..
Here's an interesting new kit.
10, 13, 14, 16, 20 (+ a snare to be done).
Reminds me of candy .
