What's your latest purchase?

So I missed out on the last Yamaha Recording Custom 18" floor tom in Antique Sunburst from the Japanese factory by a day-and-half when I ordered my RC kit in 2012. Eight years of patient searching just paid off. I finally acquired a pristine 18" floor tom and put on new Aquarian heads top and bottom. It was only played twice and stored for years in a studio before I located it. Finding the Aquarian heads during the pandemic almost proved as difficult.

Is there any chance you could post a few pics of the entire kit please?

I just got these last week. Probably the first time I avoided maple in the kit. But the two snares are brass and maple. I’m loving the cherry wood!

Bo, could you tell me how many kits you actually own now?

I'm quite intrigued.

I can just picture it........Kevin absolutely blasting some punk 8th notes on those babies at 180 bpm....... bloody hell.

Dude, if you ever tour to Australia....let me know.

And bring those damn hats with you!!!!

Oh yessssssss mate :) Looking forward to using them. Toured Oz in 1998 & I think that was the only time we have been there. There was talk of coming back over at some point :)
 
I found a couple things on DrummingDeals.com

Bought a 14" Zildjian FX stack for a bill. And I bought the Wuhan linear rock bell cymbal.
 
Besides the Yamaha Power V Special kit, I also just got a Yamaha Tour Custom maple snare and 14" Zildjian Quick Beat hats.

I think I'm done buying things for now. ;)

It's been an extravagant month for me, drum-wise. My first new addition was this beautiful Sonor SQ2 medium beech kit. 24x14, 13x9, 16x15, 18x16 in Walnut Brown Burst.

Then, through a very unusual chain of events, I ended up getting a screaming deal on a new set of Ludwig Aged Exotic Classic Maples. 22x14, 13x9, 16x16 in hi-gloss Tamo Ash interior and exterior. Really stunning set of drums.

Finally, I just received a Doc Sweeney Solid Ply Birdseye Maple set. My first solid ply drum set: 20/12/14. Whew! These things are incredible.

Well, things move in and out all the time. Let’s just say I can say I have experience with every major brand now. I’m not one of those guys that keeps a warehouse stocked with drums and cymbals.

Which of your current kits have you owned the longest?
I am assuming it's Pearl.

Dear heaven! You have been busy. Goes without saying I love the kits but I like the range of sizes across the different kits too.

Thank you, Todd! And this is why I'm having a Prolite fire sale. :ROFLMAO:
