250 bucks including cymbals and stands. Was supposed to become a beater kit for my studio/rehearsal room complex, but now we have other crazy plans for it, please be patient ^^

holy high school memories Batman!! All of my friends - and many of the backlines - had those back in the late 80's/early 90's.
Still have them and keep them as a beater kit.

We don't even get any hints? Projects fascinate me.
It will become an X-Files "crime" scene
Will keep you guys updated with pics and vids for sure, really looking forward to it.

I've got a 13x9 in the same finish from the same era. Looks to be in as good of shape, too.
Pretty sure mine is pre-Export, though.

As promised here is the pic once it would arrive. Shiny!
Sadly band practice is cancelled Friday and can't try them out in a live situation, but when I'm done with work I will whip out a hi-hat stand and annoy the neighbors (don't have a kit set up at home).
Just a few taps and you can hear the sound it will produce. And did I mention it is shiny?
There are a few blemishes on the top cymbal near the hole which I assume is some ink residue and a small scratch mark which will disappear after a good rub (that's what she said). Could be a returned model or a bit of wear and tear in the shipping process, but otherwise pristine looking! Now the wait begins for the Dry Heavy Ride to be in stock hehe.

I spent a few weeks working in New Hampshire and afterwards went to Drum Center Portsmouth (where this photo was taken). I went with the intention of browsing, maybe buying a drumhead just to support the shop. 
I tried out about 15 ride cymbals and fell in love with how the sticks sound on this model. No matter how hard I play it, it doesn't wash out. The 16" crash has been on my wish list; I've wanted a crash with a faster decay for a long time.
The die cast hoop is going on my Starphonics for trial runs.

What kind of ride is it?
I’m gonna guess: Signature Traditionals Flat ride?

22” Signature Traditional Light Flat ride.
Edit: always call to get better pricing in Paiste products. They gave me about a $300 discount on the two cymbals.

Wanting to get some Paistes and I've been putting together my order and the Sound Edge hihat i wanted was out of stock. So i waited for a couple of weeks. Only to have the ride i wanted to be out of stock when the hats were in stock...
Have the hats now (Signature 14" Sound Edge) and the ride is still 6 weeks wait time, but decide to order it anyway in hopes that this won't happen again...
So this baby is on it's way in the foreseeable future

I know everyone’s banging 15”s these days but these bad boys came along used at an irresistible price!
