    Talking First kit!

    We'll I just got my first kit set up and here it is!

    First is with all the boxes. Notice my friend after lugging stuff up the stairs wisely decided to play some video games before I could make him carry more stuff.


    Here's the front view of it set up


    And from behind, color isn't as great in this picture.


    And here is me being very very happy. When I was in the car to the store you would have thought I was on crack or something. Practically bouncing in my seat while air drumming.

    Very nice Kit, looks a lot like mine (except mine are Birch) I'm guessing yours are the maple. What hardware pack did you get with them, the hardware looks pretty solid? I'm sure you're going to have a great time with them.

    Remember I am a bass player. We like to get those guitarists all fired up.....
    ..... only in good humor. But if my drummer kit a kit that looks like socaldrums', I would have to get a new bass rig to accent his kit!

    BLD, I didn't know if you were a guitarist first, or a percussionist first. The bass player can go either way. I'm sure your drummers have appreciated your attitude!
