Weird Al & band are on the road again, and I've got my new Keystone kit in tow. For those who don't know why they're different & cool, they're an oak/maple hybrid, so they have great punch and they really speak. My kit is one-of-a-kind, in that it's a Guitar Center exclusive - 14x24, 8x12 & 16x16 in Black Abalone - limited to 100 kits, but mine has a 9x13 added. The finish is about as close to the original Oyster Black Pearl as Delmar has come, and there's not a lot of it around, so mine is destined to be a rare kit indeed.
Here are a couple of views:
Being a dark finish, the drums are kind of lost onstage, even when fully lit. This is why I prefer lighter finishes. It's a long story as to why I didn't simply get a light kit. But these drums are quite stunning in person, and sound fabulous. I hit hard, and they respond perfectly.
Ok, you may be wondering what's up with the kick head art. Pretty severe for Weird Al you say? It's actually from the cover of the new album, out on June 21. Look closely at the guy on the left:
