Side note, I want me the hell out of one of those pork pie rugs.
Nice drums, nice finish.
Your 1976 Acro has a baseball bat muffler?
The kit looks great, but I couldn't help noticing your feet on the throne. Yikes, that must have been a little sketchy.
Got everything re-headed. Can't wait to play these, maybe when the neighbors are at work. Anyone want to guess who my favorite drummer is?

Let's see. Floor toms slanted away.....that would have to be???
Do you play traditional grip, but holding the sticks waaaaay back, pretty much at the base? Just like a certain... K.C.?
He's gonna have to sell this Yamaha kit and buy a Gretsch Brooklyn kit.
Are you going to leave your tom mounts upside down like you have them in the last pics?
Looks like you've got them nice and flat mounted like that.
I'd have a rough time playing your kit. The jumps from snare to mounted tom, and mounted tom to floor tom are a lot larger than I'm used to. I'd probably be hitting sticks on rims a lot - ha ha.
Did you try the stock bass drum resonant head for a while before you put the ported one on?
Mine has a large amount of kickback on the pedal even though I don't have it tuned real tight.
I think there must be some really tight tolerances on these drums, or the air vent isn't large enough or something.
Seems like air can't escape, build up pressure and pushes back on the pedal. That's what it feels like anyways. I'm getting pretty used to it though.
.... I also dig the white head on the wood grain.
