I have wanted both this ride (paiste twenty full ride) and some paiste dark crisp hats for my collection, these two came up for sale for pretty cheap.
The hats are 13ā paiste sig mediums, close enough to the Dark crisp hats I was after, I might try and trade them for 14ās in future, the ride is a gem, I donāt think Iām gonna be selling it.

"Used" 14" Zildjian L80 hats in mint condition. It's been a number of years since the last time I bought Zildjian, so it's fun to be back in one form or another.

Needed a second crash cymbal. Been a long time searching for the right one, but I finally found and purchased a used Zildjian A 18 inch medium thin crash. It sounds great with my other used Zildjian As. (Those aren't flea bites, but light stick marks from the previous owner). So grateful to have this cymbal!

These LP clamp mount doodads.
I'm still not sure this is what will work for me but didn't like my splashes spread all over the kit. Having a 6" splash mounted on a floor stand just looked silly.
I wanted to avoid "The Gavin" but the more I thought about how I use splashes I thought I'd give this setup a shot.

Bit of an impulse buy but I've been really into exploring discontinued Canopus snares and pulled the trigger on this 14x6.5 walnut block from 2003. It's coming from Japan but hoping it arrives before Christmas!

Went up to 2112 to pick up some fresh Vintage Emperors for the Cygnus kit yesterday, but also traded an AAX splash for this darling 6" A Custom that makes me feel a bit closer to Manu. A used cymbal, and I took the logos off. Pairs really well with my Paiste Traditionals, oddly enough.

I was looking for a great sounding kit that was portable and looked good . I commissioned Seppo Salminen of TRS Custom Drums to make my idea a reality .
A nesting kit was what I wanted and I wanted it made with certain shells and sizes . I also decided for durability sake I would go with a wrap .
We settled on a 20/12/15 configuration . A railmount for the rack Tom and as also in the works too . The shells are maple with an inner ply of African mahogany in a vertical grain orientation .
I picked up the kit 5:30 pm and took it to a gig that night .The TRS Custom Drums shop is 5 minutes from my house . My band mates loved the sound and appearance .

I owned a 70s non etched 6.5x14...didnt get on with it. I've played dozens at GC..same results. My favorite recorded snare sounds have come from black beautys. What gives?..tell us if you truly 100% undoubtedly like your new beauty. Help me understand.

It's a good thing you're allowed to not like it then.
I have a thread in the cymbal area called 'Cymbal Blasphemy', about cymbals that almost everyone likes, but that I didn't.
I'd imagine it's the same with snare drums, or sets, or whatever.
Anyways, I like this one enough that it will be with me till I'm dead and gone.
Sorry - I can't help you understand.

Found a good holder to position a large LP cowbell where I want it on my 24" BD

Opened my wallet for that Black Beauty, and when I got it, I knew that I would also be wanting a Supra in the future and figured now's the time.
Got 15% off the price, and it came with a decent bag. I'll be doing a review of both of these, because they gave me a few surprises.
