Thank you. Tomorrow I will find out just how much it rips lol. Landlord asked me not to play after 5 and I still have to do some adjustments. Gotta find me a proper throne and a couple more cymbal stands, but finding a job is first lol.Saw a band Opie gone bad in Omaha who's drummer played that series kit in a honey Amber finish. I'm telling you those phenolic hoops do something special to bass drums. I believe whole heartedly that your kit simply rips.
