Wow. That is WARPED.

Nice! That's going to be a great drum. I'll have a SS Maple some day. (Or maybe Tulip... or Walnut... they all sound incredible.)

You can't be a tease like that, what'd you order?

WHAT A DEAL.

It's a shame he'll never get $1250 for it. I love those kits, one of my friends had one when I was a kid and it sounded incredible, but between deeper rack toms, hanging floor toms, and it being a premier kit he'll be lucky to get $800 for it I bet.

How do you feel about one with some dings on it for $200? https://www.musicgoround.com/product/natick-ma/40123-S000080014/used-yamaha-manu-katche-drum-kits-black

I never understood the 12 over 6 thing. Personally, I'd like my reso head tuned a bit tighter. On a 6/6 snare I'm cool with it, because it's part of the vibe, but this just seems weird.

I use a 700 series Yamaha stand and it fits my 14" wood hooped snare just fine. https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-SS-740A-Snare-Stand-Single-Braced/dp/B0029RNW1G

My dad saw them on the Stop Making Sense tour at the Cape Cod Coliseum, and he's long said that it was the best show that he's ever seen, and he's not even a huge Talking Heads fan, he's much more of a classic rock (Aerosmith, ABB, etc...) guy. I'm much too young to have ever seen them, but...

Do your cymbal stands have memory locks? That's all I use with my kit and it makes set up / tear down a breeze. The cymbals are always in the same place / height.

If people don't like short songs, may I recommend against listening to Guided By Voices.

Sonor S-Class 14" (diameter) x 16" (depth). It sounded gigantic.

Nah, 14.

My dearly departed Slingerlands. Loved this kit, just had to move on to something new. Rewrapped shells, 50's kick, 60's rack and floor. 24/13/16.

My Noble & Cooley 4.75 x 14 Alloy Classic has done the trick in every situation I've thrown it at so far. I'm hoping to grab a SS Maple at some point in the near future (next year or so), so we'll see how that stands up to it too.
