Thank you. Just a shame I hardly ever get to play it :( My gigging/touring kit is the Pearl.

I was able to score a 14x14 floor tom for my MCAN kit. The new 14" floor is actually a birch drum but it matches so I'm happy with it. I've finally found a way to incorporate a double bass pedal in my setup, not that I had really been trying that hard. I had played DB back in my middle school days but through out high school, college and beyond I could never get the hats where I need them with the other pedal there. So by moving the slave pedal to the left of the hats I've found something I can actually live with. With having the slave on the left I can actually use my toe on the hats and heel on the DB and use both together, which is another reason I abandoned DB a long time ago, it just didn't fit in with my style of playing but this seems to be working for now.
Sweet!!

Exotic Matter, wow that's a beautiful kit
Very nice kit Exotic Matter!
I just worked out a deal with a guy from England for a floating 15x13 floor tom for my kit!!
after this floor tom I think I'm done with the Yamaha.
The only thing I want to do in the future for it is swap out the Gibraltar rack for a Yamaha hex rack.
But that is going to be costly and not on the highest of my priorities
This brightens my day. It's my desktop image.

Looking good!
I keep a photo of my Yamaha on my desk top also Bish!
Made some small changes to the yamaha kit. But small changes can take forever
made another change today... bought some DW Claw clamps and converted the 18" Bass drum to a floor tom! Super simple and so far working awesome!
I've got the most recent Carter Beauford setup from their 2 shows earlier this year!
Recording custom toms and kick, left side Power v special Tom, and the hex rack. The hex has been the best rack I've ever used. It just looks incredible under house lights!
If you ever gig with that kit, I promise to come to the gig. I want to watch you set it up and tear it down.

A unexpected new kit on its way 🙌🏾
Very clean looking kit. I couldn't play something up in the air like that. That's just me.
I must say, Yamaha is my Kryptonite. Imagine having your Kryptonite in Kryptonite glitter?
I happened upon this ad and within a day, I laid claim to it. Ever heard of a drum bank? I now own one. This was a listing from a large dealer in Canada. The drums were purchased and never played. The owner had put them on consignment with this store and I happen to know the owner.

What you see is the original ad minus the 16" floor tom. It's been ordered but not shipped.
So far I've received what you see in the picture below. Still to come is the 16" floor tom, 14" snare, 8" mounted tom.
Here's what I've received and able to set up so far.

Thanks, everyone. Here's another update as of last night. Everything is here but the 16" floor and I'm using every piece so far that came from the sale. Not to mention a few other things I had to re-purchase after my purge last year. The 16" should be here Tuesday so more pics will follow. For now....
