    Very Nice, love that color. Looks like they fixed those plastic mounts. They look much better as well

    The plastic locking memory locks they put on the B/B's.. I tried to buy a used kit and the floor tom and rack toms were wobbly and all over the place no matter what we did to stop it. Really bad design. Come to find out it is a known problem.

    Who says it's a known problem?

    Mine have some play, not that much. I think it's a great characteristic for isolating the mounts and having them as free floating as possible. End result is sustain that doesn't end. It's awesome.

    I had this video from last summer when I was learning these songs.

    Here's a B/B kit with the Star hardware.

    As you can see when I play/strike the drum there isn't anywhere near the movement suggested in that video from above.

    All 3 of my kits react the same way.

    Looks absolutely fine...................that original "wobbly" video would scare me.
