Nice set. I like the sizes, & I'm intrigued by your use of 3 snares in your setup. How do they feature in your playing?

"Baritone" snare is kinda cool too :)
Thanks..
Well i like snare drums, in one shot you'll notice there is 4, i like the Baritone for cross stick, maybe one with the snare disengaged for a Timbale sound. no rules i just do what works.. Some say Craviotto's aren't worth it, i say thump these for a while and it MAY change your mind..

I'm pretty easy to convince about the benefits of steam bent drums ;) ;) ;) I've played many Craviotto drums. Nice instruments.
 
I'll play along.

Works of Art that deserve praise for sure :)
Simply beautiful specimens of drums.
 
I have a 6x14 Mahogany on layaway that I can't wait to get home!!
 
Beautiful drums, those Craviottos!

Although this thought crossed my mind: if manufacturers use the fiberskyn front head for their high-end drums, then the ultra-high-end drums should get a calf head on the front with FUR ;)
 
. Great idea Fur Sure.
