    Rest and a little chiropractic is helping my back, just no basketball this week.

    The new kit is in the house!! I only have cell phone pics, and the kick and ft aren't put together yet, but here's a quick taste of the 10/12/snare. They came built and tuned well actually.

    The hardware on these is very nice and the quality and tone is solid. It's less "orange" looking in real life.



    I'll try to get them setup as a full kit (probably no cymbals to save my back) and take pics with a better camera, so you can get a better look.

    Nice finish on the kit Jesse. Looks really good despite the pic the Ipad took.

    Thanks Rich. It's a really nice kit, looks/quality/sound, etc... I'm definitely pleasantly surprised by it, even though I had played a kit before getting it.

    All the hardware seems to be very solid quality, came with little touches like the air cushion FT leg feet, spacers on the tension rods, and even though they are small lugs, they and the hoops seem very high quality. I have some higher end Mapex stands, etc... I really love, so I guess it shouldn't have surprised me.

    And most of all, so far the one's that are tuned sound really, really nice. The have coated Remo UX heads on top and UT's on the bottom. I'm thinking of keeping them for now, and switching to Ambassadors or Emperors when these wear out, but I can imagine how they will sound with upgraded heads.

    They also seem very easy to tune compared to the other kits I've had over the recent years, including my Superstars. Don't know if it's just the lug/hoop/head combination, or the shells, or all of it, but whatever it is I'm good with it.

    I'm very interested in giving the 20" kick a go. I'll have to see, but I'm thinking that's where the first head upgrade might be. And then I'll have to decide if an Evans pillow is worth it too.

    I thought they supposedly had good cameras, but I guess only in strong light.

    I'll be taking some real pics with a real camera later tonight to post.

    I know my wife's iPad (2 I think???) does a lot of things really well but taking pictures (in any light) isn't one of them.

    This is an Ipad2 also (school provided). Maybe the newer one's have better cameras. My wife's iPhone 4S does fine, better than my Android phone in fact.

    Yep, my wife's iPhone 4 takes great pics too. But not in low light. My Samsung S3 takes much better pics. ...not to derail the thread. LOL.
