Baz - Very timeless. Can we get a YouTube video/sound clip?

...if I ever figure out how to go about it.

My big fear is exposing my lameness to all.

I am hoping to get a couple of buddies together for a big jamalamathon. When that happens I would like to tape some of it and post it here or somewhere else. I hate taping myself playing because it always sounds so lame. Playing with others (to my ears anyway), puts the drums in context, and almost always makes them sound better. Regardless of my lame playing.

DW Black/Cherry Fade with Black hardware

they had this one set up @ the guitar center closest to me for a long time so i played it..... a FEW times.. lol

these are all amazing sets.. my favorite besides the blue sunburst at NAMM is the ebony laquer over the tiger ash as far as finishes go... i like all natural too.....
 
I love the small kit, it would be great for gigs with limited stage space. I am sure they sound huge as with all DW kits.

...Thanks rmandelbaum.

At least I think thanks are in order as I am assuming that you are reffering to this bop kit. If not, please excuse my arrogance.

These drums do sound huge. I picked up one of those Gibralter bass drum lifts, and it does makes a difference. I am able to set my pedal to where it feels comfortable, and have the beater hit in the sweet spot. I don't know if the VLT really makes a difference, but this 18 does sound bigger than what I expected.

This kit has roughly the same footprint as my 22, 16, 13. One of the drawbacks to the flush based hardware is that you have to extend the legs full out. With regular hardware you can spread the legs as wide, or narrow as you need to save a little space. Placing the stands to where the legs are not overlapping each other while keeping everything at proper arms reach will take a little more adjustment.

All in all, I am very impressed with the sound of this little beast. I switched heads on the toms, using the stock batter heads for resos, a coated EC-1 on the 12, and an EC reverse dot snare head on the floor tom. More boom than boink with this combo.

I think that I am getting used to the Zildjians as well. They are starting to sound like they belong on this kit.

Hardware came, new kit set up.

Wow! I just love your finish!! If I can ask you, how much does the drum costs, just the drum? I really want to get a DW that has a similar finish with yours, but I just don't know how to get them and how much they really cost! Some help?? Thanks

!6x16, 13x9, rail mount, classic wrap finish...we must be related.

Very nice.
