Beautiful kit Claire, and from one Gretsch player to another, that's an exceptional choice of manufacturer!

Thank you PB. Which Gretsch do you have?

[Yom]

I had Tama Iron cobras before. I must say Axis blows those out of the water.
Axis FTW

Just out of curiosity what do you prefer about the Axis pedals? I've never even heard of them.

[pastor_bob]

I have the Gretsch Catalina Maple kit, and I would be happy to show them once again.

Lookin good PB..... I see your becoming a cymbal collector too .

[Claire_Asmud]

PB, WOW! Now I have some serious drum envy! Those are beautiful! Thanks for sharing. What is the color called? I love that finish!

[32ndHeartBeat]

Just out of curiousity, PB, do you get much playing time being setup right in front of your tv? Is that your living room or what?

[Norske]

Sweet kit Pastor Bob!

Ahhhhh....drums in the living room. I have drums pretty much in EVERY room, except maybe the kitchen and bathroom.

Hmmm.....I think I'll set up my congas in the kitchen........

[jimbolimbo99]

Thanks for the comments guys. And Norske- those are some nice kits there!

Awesome kit, Jimbo! How do you like the Paragon hats?

Yeah, they're nice. Good chick and very good when they're half open.

Jimbo, you've got a nice set-up there too! You'll have a nice variety of sounds to choose from. Is that a 16X16 floor tom to the right, and a 14X14 floor tom to the left, and do you play keyboard too?

16x16 and on my my right is a 13x12. And the keyboard is in my room whilst its room is being decorated. Everyone in my family plays except me! haha

[Andreeew]

Claire that kit is beautiful!

[Bish]

PB, that is an amazing finish. Good pix of your kit. I hadn't seen it other than your avatar and vids.

[Andy_TAMA]

Puts my kit to shame lol

[pastor_bob]

Puts my kit to shame lol

Never Andy! Any kit that gets us using our talents is a sweet kit. Sort of like my first car. It wasn't the best, but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for that car!

[pastor_bob]

Thanks for all the nice comments about the kit. Yes, I have become a cymbaloholic GF! The finish on the kit is what Gretsch calls a "Deep Amber." I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. You can't tell how well the woodgrain shows through (I'm a sucker for good woodgraining), and then the "amber" color really shines under the lights.

32HB, that TV is being stored there for my mom. I turned the living room into a music room. I live alone so I can get away with that, although I sometimes give myself a stern look!

[ratmycue]

great looking kit PB, I also noticed you got a set of roto toms!! yoikes,
how can you say you live alone when you have your bestest fwend in the whole wide world right there with you in your living room!!
I dont think I have ever seen an ugly set of drums personally they all have there own style and beauty.

[peach_tx]

WOW! I don't know what to say except for THESE ARE SOME KILLER KITS, FOLKS!!!
I didn't realize the finish was so beautiful on your Gretsch until now, PB!

Just out of curiosity what do you prefer about the Axis pedals? I've never even heard of them.

Really? I would venture to say they might be the most popular pedals for metal players in the US. Pricey, though.

I love that, the thing about your best friend, that's a great quote.
And as a contrary note, I have definitely seen some ugly kits that I don't wanna play on lol, not many but there are few.

Norske, you can always go with Kongas in the kitchen, and bongos in the bathroom!

Rat, you are right! I don't know what I was thinking. I have already apologized to my baby!

I also agree that all drums have their own style and personality. I absolutely love my kit, and at the same time I can acknowledge that there are other beautiful kits out there without feeling any less sure that mine is beautiful too.

[ratmycue]

my best friends, both of them the drums and the guitarist.
