No photo of the hats but I just recently acquired a set of Paiste 2002 14" Heavy Hats and a 2002 22" Heavy Ride. Patiently waiting for my 20" Medium to come in.

I needed to check online for the translation but I kind of understand what you said. It's even more than a romper roo, it's my "keep my sanity" in check room. When I have a bad and a dark mood, I just go down in the basement and just seeing all that makes me say that "I'm very lucky and life is awesome".
Wel, between all the issues that come with immigration, crapy jobs, declassification, diplomas not recognized and discrimination, at least, I was able to buy a little house to put my stuff in, first time in my all life.... Well, not a big room, 16.5X12.5 but well "packed" and acoustically treated, just two or,three more diffusers and that should be perfect...
But thanks anyway for the compliment, funny one as well.

I know, we know, we have helped you to tune it to your liking, with the help of your church drummer. and if I remember wel, it's sings, right? By the way, I really prefer the look of the 14X5" Supraphonic with imperial lugs that the look of the Black Beauty.

I just sent my son the Black Beauty. I love unusual snares such as Anniversary snares, One of a Kind snares, Handmade snares anything that's different that catches my eye, I also like the Purple Heart snare.
I'm still on the lookout for a Brady Jarah Block Baritone Snare but I'm not going to pay the ridiculous prices that they're asking for it... I have to get a super deal.
Well unfortunately that Brady snare you mention will not go down in value unless it falls of the back of a truck.

Ha ok, I know nw what you mean!!! Well, it's Romper room for adults!! At first, my Keys oriented way to think read ROMPLER ROOM...So, I said to myself "Whoo, he could see the romplers on my rack?". The XV5080 Roland and the EMU Proteus 2000, that a Rompler because they just play presets in the ROM memory compared to RA\M memory. "He has good sight seing!!!"Romper Room looked fun when I was 5. Is that you, @Quai34 , with the maracas?
Are those bee posters still available?

OK so, the Summit arrived way faster than last time and here is the photos in real. The harmonies and overtones are fantastic, I understand now why Gary Posey said it was one of his preferred snares among all of them, among all the ones he has built since the beginning.
So, Beech on top and bottom and African Mahogany in the middle, 42 strands and the sound with the 2 new Aquarian heads is gorgeous!!! I'm suoer happy for that.

The Summit secret is out - excellent quality steambent drums with your choice of hardware , heads and wood type . I have owned a kit and currently own an 8” Sassafras snare that I got before the pandemic started . All are/ were excellent drums . I am sure your snare is of great quality as well

Well guys, it finally shipped: I've got a whole new audio converter/interface system coming my way.
Gone will be the RME Fireface 802 (which has been really, really great for six years) with an Audient ASP880 and Alesis HD24XR connected via lightpipe. The UA 4-710d will stay for now.
Incoming is an Apogee Symphony with two 16x16 analog cards for a total of 32 inputs and 32 outputs, all Apogee, all in one box, and ALL useable up to 192kHz. And a Thunderbridge (coming separately) to connect it to my computer, since this is a Mk1 Symphony. I am currently running 30 inputs and 24 outputs up to 48kHz.
This should be a pretty massive step up in quality, compatibility, synchronization, and connectivity.
I'd thought that's what I was getting a month ago, but it was not. This is finally the entire thing I've been searching for.

I also purchased this black beauty (christmas anyone?) in Japan.
It is a 1969 D-20 model in 12x8, 14x14, 16x16, 20x14, and 14x5 sizes.
