I haven't got it set up to play,hell I am still changing heads.I'm slow today. He didn't have a chance to get new heads so he met me at GC today and I picked up some Evans Hydraulics/G1 for the toms and a Gmad for the Bass. I can already tell this kit is going to be awesome sounding and all I have done are the 14" FT and 12" but comparing it to my Yamaha kit,the Yammies are a few steps behind.
I'm close to having the kit set up,just been dragging butt all day thanks to my wife. I did change the heads on the snare and I am not liking it. I will likely use my Pearl snare on the kit since I like how it sounds and use the Yamaha snare as trading material for a new ride. I have 4 snares and am looking at a different snare anyways.I want an OCDP 7x13 Maple snare. They seem to be pretty nice!
I wasn't fully sold on the kit at first as you can see the price was an issue,but when he seen me post on face Book that I was looking at a different kit,he called and wanted to add to the deal and added Pearl Icon 503c rack with 10 clamps including the corner ones.I'm impressed with this rack since my Pearl rack doesn't adjust in height.Was a pain for me to put together since I haven't had the pleasure to set one up. I was going to switch racks with my Yamaha kit,but it's to much work for an old man with a bad back LOL
I'll have some pictures soon of the kit. I want to get it up and playable before I post any.I will probably have to use one throne on 2 kits until I can afford to spend the money on one. I have about $1800 in the kit with the new high hat and snare stand I bought today along with the boom arms I needed and overbought by a few Also looking at getting a Holy China.I had one but it came with a crack so it went back to GC.One of the few times they have let me down on letting a cracked cymbal slip by.
