I'm thinking maybe go "Full Goth" and get some ebony batters! ?☠?
Or follow the finish and do a top/bottom red Colorsound and Ebony...

I recently joined a group and decided I'd like have a kit I could leave at the rehearsal studio. That way I can have a kit at home to practice with on my own. There has been some incredible sales on Saturn V exotic kits lately so I grabbed one seeing I'd had a Saturn IV kit for awhile and liked it. Sizes are 22x18, 10x7, 12x8, 14x12, 16x14. Finish is Cherry Mist (my fave of those offered). It's fine if you don't like the badges, sizes, or the Alpi veneer. I dig them. Here's some photos.

I thought that was your old PHX kit when I first glanced at it. Yeah, those Orions were sweet.Attached is a picture of a perfect example of the great finish work Mapex is capable of . This finish was from their sadly discontinued Orion series . Greg Bissonette used a kit like this when he used to be a Mapex Endorser .

All I can say is, "Wow," that is a beautiful set of drums. And perfect sizes.I recently joined a group and decided I'd like have a kit I could leave at the rehearsal studio.

Not usually a fan of fades, but this one looks fantastic. That Hendrix snare is quite dreamy as well.
How does it compare sonically to your Sonor Prolites? Does it compel you to play differently in any way? For instance, do you play jazzier or funkier on your Prolites, and more rock on your Saturns?
My Vistalites bring out a totally different feel in my playing. I definitely have more of a rock Bonham feel when playing them.
Here's Rashid Williams (John Legend) playing the Saturn V kit. Listen to that low end.
