Greetings DW Drum Chatters;
This is my first day as a member of this community and my first post. With that said, I have read much of this DW thread over the last several weeks and am appreciative to you participants for the insights and inspiration that I have gleaned from your posts and pictures. Thanks!
I have been playing drums for over 35 years (started at 8) and have had only one brand new kit that I opened from the factory boxes myself...it was a TAMA Imperialstar's when I was around 13 years old. I have bought and sold a variety of used kits over the years. Right now I own two Gretch kits from the 80s era and a 1964 Ludwig Black Oyster Pearl (with all original hardware, cymbals and gig box that I looooovve).
On Monday January 4th, 2016 I ordered my first custom kit of drums....I AM PSYCHED!!!!! As you may have guessed, it is a DW:
Collectors Series (7pcs)
Exotic Finish - Lacquer over Royal Ebony
7x8 VLT
8x10 VLT
9x12 VLT
12x14 X
14x16 VLX
18x22 VLX
6.5x14
I asked DW to lean towards the darker versions of Royal Ebony (like my avatar) as opposed to some of those that I have seen that have more of lighter tone in them.
Needless to say, I cant wait to get these into my studio!! Currently they estimate 12-15 weeks
When I receive them I will do a box opening video that will include me playing them so you can see and hear them! I am very happy to be here at DRUM CHAT because this group can actually understand how excited I am now and how happy I will be when they arrive.
I will keep you folks posted! Cheers!!
