Hey guys!
I had a great drum Christmas and thought I'd share so photos of my blessings. My wife was kind enough to get exactly what I wanted this year. I received all brand spanking new heads...(batter and resos) and a Kick Port. I wanted to do a little experimentation with heads since I had the opportunity to get an entire full set. I ended up getting Remo Fiberskyn 3 batters for all the toms and snares, Remo Coated Ambassadors for the resonant side toms, Remo Emperor Hazy Snare side for both snares and a Remo Coated Powerstroke 3 bass batter paired with a Fiberskyn 3 bass resonant head. My experiment paid off too. They sound phenomenal!!! The specs of the drums are as follows.
