| Graet Mike I hope you get to play it before you have to pack it up.
Your going to need a big house when you get settled. | | Message posted 679 days ago | IP Logged |

| Indeed.
I'm planning on keeping the DWs set up all of the time. The other kits will be in rotation.
Anything not set up will be packed and ready to go.

Yes, that was an easy guess.

| You have a point.
I could list my kits in detail off the top of my head.
I could sit down and list my snares from memory and come real close.
I could never list all of the cymbals including models. I haven't been able to do that for a couple of years.
(Thats sort of embarassing to admit...)
Updated on 4/7/2010 1:49:23 PM I put new Remo coated Ambassador batters on the toms so far. The bearing edges are in great condition. I've tuned it up and I I'm happy with the results.
I'll put clear Ambassadors on the resonant side next and a Aquarian Superkick II on the bass in the next round.
I REALLY like this kit.
Updated on 4/7/2010 2:10:50 PM The snare is due tomorrow.

| Thanks Matt,
It really is a beautiful kit whether you are talking about sound of looks.
The sound with the Remo Ambassadors on it is as traditional as you can get. (Without calfskin...)
Traditionally I've never really cared for blue sparkle. My first kit was a set of cheap, blue sparkle, japanese Del Rey drums made in the sixties. The finish was a medium blue sparkle done with what looked like dime-store glitter to me. It was supposed to resemble the blue sparkle finish that some of the major american manufacturers used. The color was close to Gretsch and Rogers, the quality wasn't even close.
Slingerland's "Sparkling Blue Pearl" finish that they used from the late 50's until the late seventies was a darker blue glass glitter. (It was used on the Leedy drums made by Slingerland during the same period.)
I do like the darker blue sparkle, which is a good thing since I own two kits and two snares wrapped in it.
I'll post photos as soon as I have my computer set up in a couple of weeks. I still have no way to post sound files.
Updated on 6/29/2010 1:02:28 PM I fially have a way to post a photo of this kit.
It is still in Virginia right now. I bought a 24" case for it this weekend when Dennis and I stopped at Dale's in Harrisburg. I intend to bring it home on my next trip to Richmond if I have room in a car.
Updated on 6/29/2010 1:18:30 PM It only took me three months to get a picture posted.
