I care about how the drums sound. I care about how they look. I care about how well the drums last (durability). How they are described does not matter to me at all. Peace and goodwill.

Here my new setup of my only kit. Peace and goodwill

I like the Gibraltar 4700 series. I have two of the boom stands, and they are light weight and sturdy. Peace and goodwill.

I finally put a tom mount on my bass drum. It is a Gibraltar. Peace and goodwill.

Here is my updated kit. I added a Pearl-style tom holder to the bass drum (even though it is actually a Gibraltar). Peace and goodwill.

Here is a picture of my cymbals. I finally got a chance to play them all together, and they sound very good to me. Peace and goodwill.

I had a Sabian AA 16" Thin Crash that sounded rather splashy. The 15" SR2 Thin Crash I bought yesterday does not sound splashy. Peace and goodwill.

Yesterday I bought a Sabian SR2 15" Thin Crash. It blends well with what I already had. Peace and goodwill.

I ended up with these cymbals (long story). 21" HHX Evolution Ride 17" AA Medium-Thin Crash 14" SR2 Hats (medium top, heavy bottom) Even though the Evolution Ride is very crashable, I felt I need another crash. So today I bought an SR2 15" Thin Crash for $99. So I have ended up with 15" and...

My favorite snare batter head ever is the Evans coated UV2. Peace and goodwill.

Now for my fifth response to this topic: AAX 20" Dry ride AAX 19" X-plosion Crash (used as a crash-ride) I ended up taking both of the above cymbals to church. I brought home an HHX 21" Evolution Ride, which is very crashable. SR2 14" Hats (heavy bottom, medium top) I still have these hats...

I have cut the top off of two different cymbals stands in the past to use cymbal springs on them for a China cymbal. Maybe that is what happened. Peace and goodwill.

Right now I am using two toms, bass drum, and snare. For cymbals it is hats, 17" crash, and 21" crashable ride (HHX Evolution). That is about as small as I want to go. Peace and goodwill.

That looks like fun to play. Way to go. Peace and goodwill.

My 19" Sabian AAX X-plosion Crash makes a good washy ride. Peace and goodwill.
