Nice, getting new "stuff" is cool.

I've had my current Yamaha Recording Custom kit for almost 20 years... It's a great kit.. But I want to have it setup all the time and use this for live shows..

22" kick
12" tomtom
14" floortom
16" floortom

Waiting to hear back on the details... So psyched...

Old Kit...

Awesome set, I have a Yamaha Recording kit myself. Very impressed at how good these drums sound after almost twenty years! Think I will go play right now!

Cool.. Love the way they sound. But I need something that stands out and sounds good to make my move... I'll keep these drums forever.. They play so nice and stay in tune so well..

In the meantime... 8 weeks until this(gold was my 2nd choice)
I didn't get the snare - already have 2.. And mines Red sparkle..

Wait, you posted in a thread other than the censorship one....? What's up? You getting soft? ;)

And, IMHO, the red is sooo soo much nicer than the gold.

Hey, D....you ever get into making/putting your own kit together?? I know didly about it but I have a friend (drummer) who orders the "stuff" and makes his kit himslef. My guess is there's no way they could be as good as what the factory could do but that's just a guess.

Great! Now we can hear "clave" rhythms (shave, haircut....two bits. shave, haircut....two bits) on a LOUD set now!

Your statement about the music scene in Woodstock is antiquated. Yes, there are good musicians, but they just LIVE here. There is no music venue of any worth left, therefore there is no place for them to PLAY. Jimmy Cobb, one of those musicians, lives down the road from me; he has volunteered to find someone of the same caliber as myself to play with. (Do you know who Jimmy Cobb is?) Years ago, when I was in music school, I was advised to not play with people who suck because, although you may be the best musician in the world, you will get a bad reputation ("birds of a feather..."). I don't drink and play for it messes up my timing. What's your excuse? One of the bands I played with around here included heroin addicts; when I learned about this, I left. Now one is now dead of an overdose. As for drums, Sonor, the brand I own, take nine months to a year to build. Not 2 or 3 months. They are 9 ply with the bass being 12 ply maple. Yes the Gretsch Customs are great drums, but sometimes money is better spent on lessons. You spent a lot of money and you learned clave rhythm. If you weren't so obstinate I would have helped you and you would have finished the "Progressive steps to Syncopation for the modern drummer" book by Ted Reed by now.

I've played with people that had "Rolling Stones LTD." on their drum cases. I've played at CBGB'S, Max's Kansas City, Traxx, and other clubs in NYC, Westchester, Long Island, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Germany, etc.so long ago that I can't remember the names because it was so long ago. I've seen videos of your band. Keith Moon, didn't play the hihat because he didn't have one. Why did you play the Who's songs on the hihat? It's ENSEMBLE, not ensamble. Gee, DMC'S post disappeared. I'm done with this place.
