Nice Drum Kit, I never heard of Crystal Beat drums. Who makes them ?
I'll explain the Studio X coated heads (which suck) and where they are going to wind up. The snare buzz that you hear at the beginning is from the snare on my Ludwigs which I forgot to turn off.
There is another thing that will be explained concerning my Avatars and make a short trip(????) into my Twilight Zone.

How would you compare acrylic made drums to wood drums ? Any difference to your ears in sound ? Buddy Rich used a Vibe Snare drum, it was acrylic but had a chrome finish to it, making it look like it was metal. That was his go to snare.
Jackie!! They are themselves nice, solid, (read that heavy) drums. The Pearl tom mounts SUCK. As for the sound difference: There is a sound difference if 1 wants there to be just because they are acrylic and not wood of some kind. I have said for decades that the sound will be based on how they are tuned and, in reality, if you can't see them, you really can't tell.

Wouldn't that be fun to see your recordings. I wish I had more stuff from a few of the bands I was in. Not many people had cameras though. Even just audio stuff would be good too.

I have VHS and Beta recordings of my band back in the early '80's. I was Sales Manager of a retail store that sold TV's and Appliances. I did get video from as far back as then and still have the original recordings on VHS and Betamax that still work. Oh, the humanity.

We should all try to get some of our old stuff and post it
