What's your latest purchase?

I technically bought a 6pc SQ in american walnut but it fell through because I couldn't make the international shipping work :'(

Wah

Yes, finally, Musician friends found a way for me to order it, it's on its way, i know a guy here, who take pictures for a living, who will be really happy to see me getting the same rack" Proline Utility Snare Rack. I could put 8 snares on it, normal size, maybe 3 only if one of them is a 7" or 8" deep but the 8" that I currently have is on the kit so, with my 12 Snares, 4 on the kit and 8 on the rack, rack already fully filled in!!!
When it will arrive, I will take some pictures with the Snares.
 
Rohema MiniMuff. The weight inside the pocket is actually magnetic, so it's easy to muffle/un-muffle in a blink, even with a stick. Awesome sound imo.

Audio demo:


Fun fact: this is also exactly my snare :) Although I prefer a much higher tuning and I also think one is enough.
 
Suggestions???
I have a Remo Coated Controlled Sound with dot on my side snare. Definitely a noticeable difference over the Evans EC on this one.

I found that head to be good dead feeling under the stick. Went with the control ring instead of the dot. It definitely controlled some of the liveliness without sacrificing feel.

Fitting that SG would dig a muppet muffler. 😀
 
Tried a Remo pinstripe on my 80s Yamaha tour 13. It sounds great. It came new with one but I switched to Evans in the late 90s pinstripes were very inconsistent then.

New heads for my Gretsch rig. Going to try coated vintage Ambassadors over clear.

I love what coated Ambassadors did for my DW maple set and figure that the vintage variety will work well with the Renowns. The resos on the Renowns are the original factory heads from 2020 so they're due for a change.

Looking forward to the refresh. Lots of work ahead first!

For an even more noticeable improvement, ditch that batter head that sucks the tone out of any drum. I make this suggestion with respect and all of Ringo’s peace and love.
I have 1 of these Evans heads on a 6.5x14 eighties Yamaha wood shell with fat cat wires it has good tone. I have it tuned med - low.
