Nice loafers, man! Oh yeah, really sweet kit too

Thanks, they're LL Bean.

Drums are 14x18 Catalina bass drum, LP brass Tito Puente 10.25" and 14" timbales, 4x14 Gretsch Red Camphor snare (2004), cymbals are a 16" Mehmet Vezir flat sizzle ride, an 18" Origin Dark sizzle ride, and my 14" Agop 30th anniversary hats are way over to the left, out of frame.

I been thru my Tama period; still don't know how the Star reference computes

I apologize. I thought you were one of three wise men looking for a Star in the east during the month of December.

It looks like there’s plenty of gifts in that drum room of yours.

I sense Snow soon @cbphoto that's all

I love that finish too, but no, this is the black oyster pearl.

Oh, I was able to see it zooming in closer. That's a great finish, too.

This is my current setup: Mapex Venus from 90's

22" x 16" Bass Drum
12" x 10" Tom
16" x 16" Floor Tom
14" x 08" Snare Drum

14" Hi-Hats, 16" Crash, 20" Ride. Pretty basic stuff, actually.

Both beatiful kits and a very nice snare.

Thanks, force!

I was originally going to sell the renowns, but after playing both kits, I can tell that would be a mistake. They’re just dramatically different machines, and I now appreciate both for what they are. I can see both getting play time

I reluctantly decided to get back with my old theatrical post apocalyptic themed spaghetti western surf rock band that I quit four years ago, I left in a crappy way and I'm still friends with most of these people so I agreed to come back for a show or two.

Anyway, I typically only played bass, snare, ride, and occasionally floor tom with this band which is one of my personal favorite set ups ever so I was stoked to strip it down even more than I already do for my current band.

Usually suspects as of late: pearl midtown, Tama classic hardware and pedal, Paiste

I'm, sadly, selling mine. Arguably my best/favorite. But after reacquiring my DW redwood burl, and given I'd never sell my Rogers, ONE has to go (no need or room for 3 sets).
