Alternately, I could cut my 12x8 down 1/2 an inch on each edge. But, I feel like my lugs may then be a bit too close to the rim (and look off next to the other drums). Anyone have any experience doing anything like this?
Anyone happen to have an unfinished 7x12 Keller maple 8 ply shell (with bering edges cut) laying around that they want to sell? I typically get my shells from Drumfoundry, but their site seems to be down. i am in WA. Any advice on where is a good place to get shells in this area?
Anyone have any experience with Tama Soft Sound rings? I am considering spending some cash on RTOM Back holes for my kit. the Tama rings are a bit cheaper/simpler. Looking for some insight prior to the purchase...
Anyone want to test Attack heads, I did. These are slightly used (just to see if I liked them).

OK, so I went with Benny's recommendation on all my toms as well. Coated Emperor on the batter and coated Ambassadors on the bottom. Now, I was a bit worried about my 8" inch tom sounding choked out with a double ply coated on the top and a coated on the bottom.
Prior to this config, I had...
I have a china 16". It is the best china I have ever found. It was ridiculously cheap. I have never found a Sabian, Zildjian that I have liked.
I have always come back to the Wuhan china. Makes sense. Get your China's from china.
That is great. Thanks. That is on the Batter Head. I should have been more speicific in my question. I was asking about his reso bass head.
Is his reso a Diplomat or an Ambassador?
I got it a few days ago. Love the cymbal, but believe it or not, the 20 inch Legacy is a lower pitch than the 22" Phoenix. Ug, so I am selling it. I am going to go with a 20" Apollo ride.

Just bought this one online. But, it is not quite the right pitch to blend with my other cymbals. So, it is yours for a great price!

You are right, Something a bit more bright for the left.
What do you think of a 20 inch hand hammered jazz ride? I am looking for something that crashes nicely as well.
