Guess who just bought a new to me kit :)

Just picked up a MINT Pearl Reference Pure. I have had an MCX maple for years and a second kit that has been swapped out a few times. I think this one is here to stay. The heads need a changing but I can tell already these things have really nice tone.

Any Reference guys here? What are your favorite head choices? Thinking of doing G2's over G1's as I normally do, but tempted to see what others have tried with results.

will add photos when it's set up.
 
The Reference is 10,12,16,22. I have a 7 piece MCX in 8,10,12,14,16,20 and I rarely use the 8 or one of the floor toms. It's super fun to have them all set up, but not practical for gigging/recording as I don't have the mics/inputs. Years back I owned a 10 piece kit which was even more intense. Over the years I have gone smaller with my second kit and was playing a Sonor Bop kit for quite a while that had an 18 inch kick. I sold that and have been having a ton of fun on a Ludwig Breakbeats kit. Going from a 16 in bass drum to a 22 is unreal. That bass drum is a cannon.
 
I like the coated Amb over Clear Amb with the Pures.
I posted my favorite tunings on the other board where you were asking about it.
 
Enjoy that nice drum set. Peace and goodwill.
