Along with memorizing standards from the real book, start practicing your sight reading! Beautiful kit!
The snare in this picture looks like a Stage Custom in natural wood. Is that what it is?
Still looking and sounding as good as ever I'm sure. My Stage Customs are about a year older than yours and are in the Natural Wood finish. I always get compliments about the look and the sound every time I play. Even with the stock birch snare.
I got a 16" floor tom for my natural wood kit, but it turns out I like the 14 a lot better.
The 16 is a bit rumbly for me, and if I tune it up high enough to tame the rumble, it's about the same pitch as the 14, but without the character. That 14 is just right.
I also like the stock snare. I put an S hoop on it, changed the head and snares, and it sounds just fine.
