How about a thread to celebrate and marvel at our newest purchases? I know I'll enjoy seeing yours.
Here's mine:
A mixed box of toys. Evans g2 over g1 coated for my yamaha kit, tight screws and trick quick release cymbal toppers.
A quick release hi hat drop clutch, some rods, some brushes, emperors for my saturn kit, and a 20" emad which could go on either of my 20'' kicks. Also a dw cowbell mount.
I'm so happy.

Congrats on your latest acquisition... I just picked up a beautiful set of Yamaha Stage Customs, in Honey Amber. All Birch shells, Bering edges are flawless, matching snare... 10, 12, 14, 16, 22 & matching snare. I can't believe how good they sound! I was also lucky enough to come across a 24" Ping, which is so clean I thought it was new... (94' was the last year for the 24") now I need a super-heavy boom stand as this behemoth is extremely heavy... I was initially concerned about the Yamaha YESS mounts as I'm a heavy hitter, needless to say they are rock solid, and the toms are standard sizes, and the 14 & 16 are floor toms. As of this writing I have 36 snare drums & 3 kits, a Mapex, a Pearl Masters & a Ludwig prototype kit made of stainless steel, not to be confused with the steel kits of the 70s, which were sheet metal. The shells on this kit are approx 3/8 thick, extremely heavy and LOUD. My new Yamaha kit at a mere fraction of the price sounds and looks just as good... A bit bias perhaps as I've always had an affinity for birch.
