Great finish choice. Love the config too. Flat toms remind me of Benny Greb or Bill Bruford.
Proudly playing:
Doc Sweeney Drums
A bunch of snares
A bunch of cymbals
Off-Set double pedals
I think I love to play the drums simply because you get to hit 'em!!!
Pearl VBL Concord fade (22" bd, 8"-10"-12"-14"-16" tt)
Pearl JJ1365 Joey Jordison signature snare
Sabian AAX cymbal setup (14" X-plosion hats, 8" Splash, 14" Crash, 16"-18" Fast Crashes, 18" China, 21" Raw Bell Dry Ride)
Tama Iron Cobra douple pedal (powerglide) and HH-stand (flexi glide)
Nice color choice ,that looks a lot of fun, congrats
I was inspired by druski's set to try and rearrange my rack toms in a way similar to his. I moved them off of the bass drum and used the BD mount in a multi-clamp to mount them on a cymbal stand. This puts my most used tom, the 12", right in front of my snare, and lets me bring the ride cymbal in closer as well. I'm loving it!

I love looking at Lefty setups.
I've been noticing that I hardly ever use my 10" tom, so I decided to pull it from the kit for now. That allows me to get my hats in a little closer. I'm really digging it that way. I also realized that I never use my Chinese cymbal, so it got yanked as well. When I want that trashy sound, I use my AAX Ozones. Either the 16" crash or the 10" splash. I'll try to get pics one of these days.

Yeah, same here. I could never get the right spacing and height with running the 10" and 12" off a stand over the hihat, and the hihat was always too far to the left. I now run the 12" on its own, with 14" and 16" floor toms. Everything's comfy, and the ride is still nice and close, so happy days. Like you, an 18" HHX Ozone has replaced the china (usually).

TAMA Hyperdrive Birch
Just picked up the AXX OMNI ride/crash last week (18) and I LOVE it. Goes really well with the 16 and 18 AAX Xplosion crashes! a loud dry crash...
I really do love this kit! (thats an 8inch Toca between the hi hats and the 10 inch tom). Chad smith signature black nickel snare goes great with the black nickel lugs and mounts!!!
PS. Just got my AA ride back from Sabian last week too. It went through the $40 refresh service and it came back like BRAND NEW! amazing work at Sabian
I fully recommend the 'refresh' service on old cymbals that are not broken.
