For looks, I think ash kits have the most interesting grain patterning. A nice gloss kit like this would do me just fine. Understated yet classy and very beautiful.

Mr. The Shepherd...
If someone asked me to guess what kind of wood that kit is from the figuring...there's no way I would have guessed that's ash.
Maybe it's quilted ash? I've just never seen ash like that. It does look awesome. My guess would have been highly figured maple.
The ash figuring on my drum has much darker streaks, chevrons really, along with the lighter part. The streaks on my ash drum go all around the shell horizontally.
Think of a wooden baseball bat
I see no streaks and no horizontal grain. Interesting.
No mention of my banana vomit sonor finish? Well excuuuuuuuuusseee me!?My god, you guys are pulling out real gems!!

I really don't like anything but chrome hardware. And hardware should be not too bulky.
Lacquered wood without fades, monochrome wraps and some sparkles are what I like most in finishes.
To each their own - you might like those Stone Custom drums, too.

I'm calling it 'Wasp Gloop'As you guys may know by now, I love my white Prem Gen X lacquer and wonderful Pearl high voltage blue wrap, but if I was pushed to choose another finish...
