I'm sure there will be various opinions, but I really think Craviotto dropped the ball on their new 'Marquis' lug design.
Some have criticized their design in the past for for overusing the diamond motif, but at least that gave the drums some identity.
I'm sure this was done in an effort to keep the price point down a bit, but come on. This new lug design ic visually clunky and makes them look like a generic homemade kit (albeit a very good one!). I know you can still get the old lugs, but they will now be an up-charge.
If a customer is going to spend that kind of money on a kit, it needs to not only sound incredible, but it needs to look incredible also (ie. Guru's Origin series)
Disappointed.
