What's your latest purchase?

What several weeks of determination will get you.
(I rang nearly every drum equipment retailer in the whole of Australia to obtain these. The country has very little 2002 Big Beats in storage or stock. The 19, and 20 are 2nd hand).
I'm quite satisfied for the moment.

A pair of Ahead fat beat sticks and a pair of 5A Maxx so now I have 3 different lengths of 5A sticks. I already had a pair of regular 5A

Just discovered the Twentys with a 13" hat, very sweet but dark, darker that all of my other hats, surprising.
 
It’s a Murat Diril Alloy. I have a 15” on the way too.
Ha, I didn't know that, so, is it because the Twentys were made before Paiste transferred the foundry to Germany?
So, it's a B20, right? Or is it a bit different than the other B20?
Also, the Twenties were named Twenty Master after that and then Master, right? So the master are still B20 but the Paiste Signature Dark Crisp Hat are B15, am I right?
I might need to find one in 13", a Dark Crisp hat Signature B15 to get a bit more high end and shimmering.

The B20 blanks were provided by Diril (Turkey) then sent to Switzerland for marking, hammering maybe more.

I take it that the Cat snare didn't last long, since your arrival pics show an Acrolite?
Throw off is non-functional. I’ll get bored over the winter and tinker with it. Wasn’t expecting too much from the snare anyway. Acrolite was the closest snare I could grab after I set them up. Sounds good enough for my garage.
