What's your latest purchase?

On a whim, I bought some 4.5mm bead chain, pull loop connectors, and 1" keyrings and made four of these:

At $13 each for the manufactured ones, I thought I would take a chance. They're pretty good so far, we'll see if they become annoying or over-done.
 
For my cheapest kit, I special ordered another 24 bass drum, 18 floor Tom, 13 Tom, a used hammered bronze snare, 2 Gibraltar Stealth pedals, Gibraltar legless hi hat, Tama hi hat hoop mount and Remo ambassador heads.
Needless to say, I don’t think it’s my cheapest kit anymore. 🤪
Very happy with this setup. It encourages me to practice. Not to mention, it’s between me and the TV. 😄

I dig the black hardware. 💪

Cool how the wood pattern subtly telegraphs through the finish on the shells.

And of course the inevitable Spinal Tap reference...

 
Another Prinacoustic London bass trap kit, 2 panels 48"X 24"X 2", one to put on top of one already in place, so, the right corner of the studio will be fully treated, the second one to put in front of the drums kit, there is a railing with the window that prevents me to put it on the left side!!!
I will post a picture when it will be installed:

So, in this corner, left side of the window, I don't have enough room to put a second bass trap so, I will got for a "Cumulus", a triangle that goes right in the corner of walls and ceiling, good spot to treat modes and resonance of the room.

A 5.5 x 14 Tama Starclassic. Just picked up off of CL. Haven't played yet, needs a wee bit of tlc first, but in nice shape. Pretty sure it's maple, will have to look into it. Also pretty sure the butt shouldn't look like that. Throwoff seems on the flimsy side, but I'll live. Came with puresounds at least. 😊

I stand corrected, I am on board with your assessment.

Thanks for your input Al.
And I agree please post pics or create a thread if you plan to restore, somehow.
Pan to shot of me lighting up a flamethrower, in a last ditch effort to remove the chrome from this 2000. Looks like I'm gonna clean it up as best I can, some new heads and wires, and get on with my life. I know, I know, you all told me... 😊
 
I found a 10x8 Masters Studio BRX Vintage Sunburst rack tom to match my recently acquired kit.
