Nice looking kit. I'd definitely tighten up that set up a little though.
Thanks for the comments, I am making adjustments as I get back into the groove. Already moved some cymbals and repositioned pedal slightly. Toms do need to be moved in tighter together..
Looking forward to new pics

Not sure about the link policy here, but the company is called DrumArt and a quick google search will tell you everything you need to know. The price depends on what type of head, sticker vs print, stuff like that. Mine was printed on and ran $85.
I took what my band had been using for a while before me and arranged, vectorized, and edited it all into an updated design and layout that would look good as a head. But they offer art consultations and can get you going that way.
I'll stop being a spokesperson for them now as to not derail the thread.

Radio Kings on the job today. It's an event weekend at the wineries around here. "Roll out the Barrels". They're all doing featured barrel tasting. Means lotsa gigs. We're booked fri/sat/sun. Today was a nice close by winery, Baileyana. Long day, but fun. Low volume, jazz blues setlist. Looked like a perfect chance to get out the Radio Kings. I really love playing them, they just sound great, but gigging them is kind of a pain, with the clamp-on legs, and extra tom stands needed. I picks my battles carefully. and they're really fun to play.....
