Your thinking would be correct according to my thinking.
Looks good! Especially if the snare is the one you were trying to match.
Now, my next instinctive suggestion, get black hardware for it to match the hoop and add some contrast. Twin post tube lugs, come to mind.

Except I bet he'd spend more on the new hardware than the drums are worth in the first place.

I think I love to play the drums simply because you get to hit 'em!!!
Id say just buy a pair of unfinished wood hoops for the bass and stain them a darker shade like Walnut or Mahogany color. Then, switch from the clear to a Fiberskyn front reso. The dark wood hoops would look fantastic, and the Fiberskyn reso would really tie the whole thing together with a vintage vibe.

Let the Concept Maples out to play last weekend. The more I look at the fade finish, the more I like them. I just installed the decal of our new band logo.....looks like I forgot to tighten and tune the reso head. Looks a little loose around the top, LOL. The edge of the drum rug behind the kit is right at the back edge of the trailer. I was a little nervous using the new throne. A couple inches farther back and it's a 36" drop to a concrete curb and several weeks of physical rehab.

Love that band logo - that is so cool!
GeeDeeEmm
Thanks guys! I like the logo (made it myself), but I honestly don't care much for our name. Sounds too much like a variety show in Branson, MO. It can make it hard to get bar bookings. I've tried to push our image more toward the "backwoods bootlegger" theme by using our Rat-Rod truck on band posters and billing our music style as "Honka-Billy-Grass" or "Custom Blended".....to try and encompass Blues and Classic rock. On the plus side, people remember the name and we've had it too long to change now.

Looks like the gal riding the corn cob should be on the nose cone of a WWII B-25 bomber.

Hi Late8
Sorry for the delayed reply. The additional curved bar will most likely hold mic booms. It is, however, temporary as I may use those curved bars for vertical posts in the hopefully not-near future
Took the Saturns out to play last Saturday for the first time in a couple of years. Man, I had forgotten how heavy those drums are:
Cool stage, your kit looks great
Mike
The under-lighting looks wicked. I am so investing in a couple of those.

Looks like you're waiting out a nuke blast in a bomb shelter. Are those lights par 64 LED?
Thanks late8! I have a bunch more to share!
