^^^ for $400 bux! Even if you hate the ZBTs. THAT my friend is a dealio!
I had to tame the floor tom down a little with a cut down e-ring though.
WOW,
these are some awesome kits guys! Gretch has such great variety too..awesome.
I've only had my set for 2 days now and don't yet have my cymbals. I'll go ahead and post a few pics of the drums until I get the rest. I'm getting rid of the edrums on my avatar.
My 1st kit I had for 25 years was 70's Slingerland in chrome with zil A cymbals, new beat hat. I sold it a few years ago due to my disability. This is my 1st brand new kit..
I will post more pics when I get the rest, my Saluda's and toys! I had to resize my pics so I hope they look okay on here..sorry if not.

Just caught this...What do you mean.."cut down e-ring"?
I should have some pix up this weekend.Can't wait to see some pictures of your kit Yamahamer.
About the cut down e-ring, I bought an Evans E-ring for my 16" floor tom, but I found the ring dampened it waaay too much, so I cut it to abot 1/2" thick. Probably would have been easier to buy moongels, but oh well. I already had the e-ring.
Did you try detuning the reso head?
^^^Nice kit TT! What is it exactly...Catalina Maple/birch?
Ahh, okay..I didn't put the 2 together. Catalina Birches are indeed great and for what you paid?? AWESOME! Cool set up btw!Catalina Birch. Same one as on page 4. Depth X diameter:
7x8, 8x10, 9x12 rack toms
14x14 floor tom
18x22 bass drum
4x13 PDP snare
Here's a couple more pics....if I'm posting too many and flooding the thread with pictures, let me know and I'll change them to links instead.]
And of course, the driver's seat. I'll be moving the rack toms closer when I play it later today.
Thanks for the compliment.Nice kit Yamahammer, I like your cymbal setup. How do you find the snare with the kit?
The snares on the club jazz kit seem to be their weakest point. It's also the bottom head and wires to blame, i've never seen a thinner head!..I should really get some pics of mine up..Just bought my first Gretsch kit. A Catalina club jazz in white pearl.
All though a bugdet priced kit, I am very inpressed.
The Toms and bass sound amaizing, not so inpressed with the snare. Might have to get my Yam birch custom snare out. With out looking at it to closely it sounds like they haven't cut the snare beds properly but thats Taiwan for you.
I have a couple of gigs over the week end and then in the studio for two weeks so I'll get some photo's on here soon.
