An Ogio case
A bunch of Aquarian heads that were on clearance.
A Sleishman snare
A dw eco x. The eco x has been sitting in a guys garage for a few years but I managed to clean it up pretty nice and replace the heads. He also had a neglected dw 5000 pedal which I’m in the process of ordering parts for, the shaft is cactue and the chain linkage needs replacing.
I think there might be an issue with the Sleishman and the Facebook seller blocked me after I picked it up, bit if a worry but I’ll take it apart when I get time and see if it’s just a setup issue.
Yamaha SD4103. Must be an early one, since this has Power Hoops instead of aluminum die casts. They sound pretty much the same anyway. Got a pretty good deal on it, so it's here to be used for a very specific nu metal set in early February.
Just ordered one of those Mr. Muff snare dampeners (that pop up on Art of Drumming all the time). Really love the idea of the plush fur bc an engineer I work with close mics stuff really intensely and I can usually hear e-rings/wallets/drum weights buzzing or vibrating

Yeah it's kind of funny; I've seen no fewer than three types of die cast aluminum hoops from Yamaha.
Power Hoops showed up in the 80s. Visually they resemble triple flanged hoops, but they are in fact proper 3mm cast aluminum. These appeared on various snares and early Maple Customs toms.
In the mid 90s they switched the Maple Customs to steel triple flanged hoops and switched to a more conventional die cast hoop design without the curved tension rod tabs. I've only ever seen these on snares, but these are what I've usually seen on these SD410x drums and that's what's on my 2nd-Gen Manu Katche.
Then with the introduction of the 2nd Gen Absolutes they brought back tom hoops and switched to a hoop with a small 45-degree angle between the horizontal surface containing the t-rod tabs and the vertical surface directly above the hoop collar. These are the hoops on the toms of my BCANs, it's what they still use, and I've seen them made in both Japan and in China. The chrome plating also seems thicker on these hoops.
They're all some of my favorite hoops, so I've thought about this quite a lot...

I was gonna ask if those were BCAN drums sea blue fade finish in the picture. I had those several years ago and loved them. I sold them But I still have my 88 model power tour customs which has the aluminum hoop on this narrow drum. BCAN drums all had aluminum hoops.
First time in a long time I’ve actually enjoyed quiet practice. They produce just the right tones for the EAD10 to pick up nicely. Much better than the Aquarian Super Pads. The tones are separated enough the EAD can really work it’s magic.

After my first test right now: this thing is a friggin' sledgehammer I tell you. After removing all the weights it's also very light, speeding up my footwork big time. And because of the changeable angle it also hits dead flat in the center of the head. Love it.
Ok, so, you had already seen the photos from the store but at my place, it's even better (Well, maybe not the photos but better for me to have it), it has arrived this morning:
TAMA G-MAPLE ZEBRAWOOD 14X7".
It's really loud, super crack, great 42 wires, the black hardware is great!!!
