Software. Updated to Oddity 3: https://gforcesoftware.com/products/oddity3/

Possible early Black Friday Fever.
I've got tons of software, but IMO the GForce stuff is spectacular sounding.
Their impOSCar is one of my favorites, and the OB-e is the best sounding analog emulation I've heard.
Trying to keep the lid on BF spending, but I couldn't pass this one up.

Zanki 20" Ride.
The thing is actually very nice sounding, even though its sheer heft suggests otherwise.

Sharp! These Zanki cymbals have some really nice hammering and lathing.

Picked up a used Yammie stage series 6.5 steel snare for cheap @$59 bucks at GC.
Waiting for it to come off hold in a few weeks.

Darn you, Craig's list !!!!

Yeah, it's not a drum, or a cymbal, but it'll get used on all of them.

You guys. A Neumann U87Ai!

Those look as clean as the ones I found. Absolutely love them. Did yours come with the box and bag too?

I just pulled the trigger on a mint, barely used Ludwig Black Beauty should be here in a week! One drum to rule them all...

Very nice. I've got a Warm Audio WA87 which is high quality clone of this mic...but you can't beat the real deal.

Damn! Took forever just to find the clean set I did. That’s awesome. Doesn’t get better than that.

Just a little something. I am a bit ambivalent about selling off my Pearl P932 so time will tell. I am really liking the all-felt beater on the Yamaha.

Hey, I just made the first purchase in a while…a Gibraltar replacement hoop for my Ludwig rack tom. Saw you can get a genuine Ludwig hoop for $25 more, and decided I don’t care enough

Snagged a used Black Beauty 14x5 for USD100!!!!!!! I'm sure it's brass because 1) magnets don't stick to it, and 2) there are letter "BR" stamped on the shell under the throw off. There is no sticker inside the drum, so 1) I can't date it, and 2) it might be a "B stock". I'm also sure the hoops are 2.3mm because they feel as heavy as my Pearl Superhoops II's. It came with no lug gaskets. The previous owner probably removed them to maximize resonance. A string/strap lock screw on the P85 throw has a loose thread, and the P33 butt plate is too close to the snare-side head hoop, so I ordered a new P88ac set. I put on a fresh Ambassador coated, and a used Diplomat snare side, and it sounded absolutely WICKED!

You might notice from the picture though that the snare-side hoop looks skewed. Thankfully it's just the head collar that is crooked. So I ordered a new 2mil reso head too.

The cost of the drum, the P88ac, and the new heads are still less than half the usual price of a used one. I really lucked out on this one. Of all my used purchases, this has to be the best.

Looks like one to me from here . Awesome to fall into a sweet deal like that. So what do you like about the Diplomat snare side? I’ve contemplated trying one but I can’t argue with the Ambassador clear that’s on my L&L Standard.

They're still a pretty penny, especially if you get it new. This just happened to be in the Music-Go-Round for over a thousand dollars less than a new one, granted sans box and shockmount (which is $400-odd for the real Neumann), so I hemmed and hawed for a minute, got some pizza, then put it on my credit card. I just got paid a nice lump from doing a live sound gig at a local private school, and had a three-day session starting the day after I found the mic, so it seemed like a good investment for the studio.

And, of course, it sounds really good!
