Thanks GD! I thought about a bass drum cymbal mount but I'm still playing around with set up stuff. You know us drummers always changing stuff. Lol. I had it set up as a 4 piece and just recently added the 12" Tom in there and 2 of the cymbals are new to me the 18" A medium crash and and 18" A thin crash (with a sizeable chunk missing out of it). So I'm really just experimenting
I didn't like the Concept Maple out of the box. I played with tuning a bit then swapped the heads. Since I'm not looking at it right now I can't remember what batter head I put on there, I think it's a coated emperor over a Hazy 500 reso. I have it tuned high cause I like a lot of pop and stick response. Sounds great as does the whole Concept Maple kit. I'd put this kit against just about any other kit out there for its tonal qualities
Just went and looked cause it was bothering me. I have a coated emperor x on there. Lol
Very nice kit Powertrip.
I didn't like mine at first. The guys at GC (it was a floor model) had the snare tuned extremely high. It had massive ring. I stuck some adhesive backed vinyl on the bottom of the batter head and tuned the snare side medium low with the batter about medium high. It sounds and plays pretty good now, but has a lot of sympathetic buzz from the 10" tom. I'm thinking about getting a new snare head...just don't know which one. I like the whole kit, but haven't messed with it enough to get it all "dialed in".

My snare sat untouched for sometime because I was playing my wood hoop PDP as my primary. Then the wood hoop snare needed some cleaning and tune up on the throw off and such so while that was down I got the Concept snare dialed in. I really do like it now but I ended up getting my DW black nickel over brass and the Spaun acrylic in a super sweet CL deal and they became my go to snares. Just got the orange snare a couple days ago. It's an old MIJ "Lyra" brand snare ( i believe Lyra later turned into Pearl). The wrap is bubbled in spots, some of the plies are starting to come apart but with new heads and a tune it's one of the best sounding snares I've ever heard, nice and warm tone.
Just picked this 3pc Gretsch Catalina Club Special Edition Kit last week. I thought it was pretty cool wrap concept on it.
8 months ago I got the PDP Concept Maple in Red to Black Sparkle Fade to replace my previous Tama Imperialstar kit. Love the quality for the price of this. A month later I also bought a set of XS20s to replace the B8s I got to replace the Meinl HCS's that came with the Tama kit.
gorgeous kit
Who's that barbarian babe playing your drums in the last pic?
Great looking kit drummer5359.
Thanks guys! I have several other nice kits, but this one often gets the nod with this band as we use a lot of lights and it responds well to lighting.
They had this logo and banner before I joined the band, it is on t-shirts and merchandise sold at shows. It is a big hit in certain circumstances, not so much in others. We play "bike nights" in the summer months and those t-shirts sell like crazy at those events for some reason. On the other hand we have a venue that didn't want to re-book us because of that logo on our promotional posters. We use different promotional posters for their shows now which made them happy.
I prefer the simple "horned HB" logo like I have on my bass drum these days. We use both logos as appropriate.

Along with the tamer promotional material, you could change the name of the band to "Helen Baak."
Beautiful kit.
