Not sure why, but I'm an "anniversary guy". I've always been good with dates, and for whatever reason my brain remembers anniversaries easily. Today marks one year since I took possession of my black DW set. I intend for this set to be my final set; it was ordered as my 50th birthday present to myself and has other significant sentimental value attached to it as well. 2022 was a busy year. I averaged between 12-15 gigs per month (I feel very fortunate to have that much work!) in all types of venues.
These drums have acquitted themselves nicely during this time. They make a sound that I dig, I think they're beautiful visually, and they haven't caused any issues at all. They certainly were a stiff investment, but one that I would do again in a heartbeat. 13-16-22 in traditional depths. I've since added on a small bass drum (10x20), one of those floor tom/snare drum hybrid thingies, and an 8x12 tom. Last month, I ordered the final piece and I'll be done. 14x24 bass drum for the biggie stages and venues.
