Cool. Looking forward to the pics. Do you still have your Yammies?
.... is arriving any moment now. Will post pics/vids as soon as possible. Here's the drum room... Gretsch kit is stowed, rack has been taken down, and a few of the cymbals have been mounted on boom stands awaiting the arrival...
Cool. Looking forward to the pics. Do you still have your Yammies?
..sadly no, I had a guy come over to buy some cymbals from me and he wanted the Yamaha's badly... so I made him a package deal. ( I got them free with the Hex rack) .
Right now we have Tama(x2), Sonor (x2), Pearl, the Gretsch Renowns , and the Yamaha E-drums on the Hex rack... so when the Luddies come we'll have eight drum kits... plus congas, cajons,etc.
I did see a pretty good deal on a set of Yamaha Tour Customs in Brown Fade tho.... hmmmm
Unboxing...
Cool. Enjoy!
Can't wait to see the video of the "Immigrant Song" cover by Dave on the Safari kit!
That is a neat little kit. Unboxing video's are great too.
"If it doesn't work out...I've got like 18 snares." Hahahahaha
OK... first look after setup.. few sounds too:

Thanks for that Dave...almost made me feel like I received the kit myself...lol
The kit looks and sounds great! Congrats! A real looker too!

Really really cool. Lovin it!
8 sets? wow. I been in some small drum shops that didn't have that many sets.
all the best...
Dave, I noticed the hanging tom. Is the sound better mounted that way? I tried that with my Sonors and couldn't hear any difference.
I only mounted it that way so the ball socket would be "bottomed out" ... that way it can't drop below where I have it set even if some dipstick turns the wingnut. I'm probably just paranoid... but it's a goofy habit I got into with kits that get left at clubs or practice rooms.
Looks and sounds really great! Love the sparkle too, very nice.

Are those fun to play or what ??? Nice wrap too. Looks a little odd the way your raising your bass tom mount so high to hang the tom from the bottom.. How do you like that nice stainless steel riser? I wish they had given us 4 of those memory locks. I use 2 on the floor tom legs and one on the riser so I don't have to fool with it when setting up the bass drum.
Did you change the tom and snare heads? How do you like the snare? I think it is fine. Mine sounds pretty decent.
