Beautiful kit. What are you using to muffle the toms?
Thanks! I'm using Vater Buzzkill gels. They are like Moongels, but a bit more sticky, maybe 25% bigger each, and round, which is really nice. Those corners on the moongels tend to start rolling up when they get a little use. These should stay flat.

I also like that those are clear... I should order some for my store to try out.
I use a lot of moon gel with all my kits and traveling etc.
I haven't had these for very long, but they seem like they will be usable for a lot longer than MoonGel, with the curling corners. The clear thing is nice, but I think MoonGel just released a clear version as well. I've also gone to Hobby Lobby and bought some decorative window clings, which work fine and can end up looking fun depending on the season. I haven't been muffling my toms live in the past few years (just for recording), but these new toms ring quite a lot more than the birch drums I was just using.

Superfortress what sizes are your toms? They look super close to the same? (ones above snare)

Yeah I feel like I'm always dusting my kit off... and then I remember it's all saw dust from my stick shavings. Just ask Rick!
Turned out fine. Just look incredibly the same. I myself would set my kit up different with sizes that close.
But that's just me. I always love a tom on my left and right. So I'd set the 13 on the left side and do a 3 up top or maybe even 2 up 2 down
I know there's a lot of Neil Peart fans here but my personal taste is I don't like putting toms right over my hi-hat like that.
But that's why we all are different and have different opinions and styles etc.
It's a nice setup either way. Love all the matching DW pedals. Makes my OCD happy! haha
I do like the window cling gels too..
