    Thanks. This has been dream kit in my favorite finish for a long time. It was called "Transparent Walnut" in the previous Saturn series, and "Transparent Espresso Walnut" in the Saturn IV line. I think the Saturn IV finish might be slightly darker, but I'm not sure since I've only seen the earlier version in pictures.

    Part of what I love about the finish is that it's both modern and classic. In case this is my last kit (which I think it very well might be), I wanted it to be one that I'll still like to look at a decade down the road!

    Classy looking kit. I forgot they dropped the suspension mounts on the floor tom legs too. Bummer. I really like the new suspension.

    That is a nice kit, congrats! I own a Saturn IV as well, in the Cherry Mist Rosewood finish. Sadly haven't got to use it much yet (my band recorded an EP in early march, and the kit has been stashed away since then :( ). But I plan on ordering a new shellpack of those (in a 22x18"/10x8"/12x9"/14x14" setup), then sell the 10" and 12" later on, and have a doublebass kit in 2x22/10/12/14/16 setup. I've checked around, and here it would cost about the same to order a bassdrum and floortom seperately, and it would take several months to deliver, instead of the shellpack being shipped right away. Maybe I'll add a 8x7" tom down the road somewhere in the future though. Then it definately will see more action, as my band started to play a bit better stages now, with more room for a doublebass kit, so up until now, I've only used my bigger Sonor kit... Oh well, I'm rambling on here.

    Very nice kit, I know you're satisfied with it Hehe. They do sound excellent, and look incredible as well.
