Definitely a nice series for the price. I had a safari kit that I gigged prior to the pandemic. $800 isn't a bad deal but the market is soft so you might be able to get for a bit less. I don't think you'd be disappointed.
I'm thinking of moving to Yamaha Crosstown from the DW UL just because the challenge of positioning the flat-based stands versus tripod. But the DW UL is great for an aging player. Never had an issue with stability though though I'm not a hard hitter. I still think placing the legs properly...
Hi,
I am the original owner of this cymbal. It has only stayed in my drum studio and is in excellent condition! There is a small amount of patina. The edges are smooth. It's a nice warm, dark sound weighing in at 2277 grams. Sorry I don't have audio. I will sell for $450 shipped in...
Great topic! I was actually thinking about this just yesterday to see what sticks jazz players find help get the best rebound for fast tempo playing? I'm currently using VF AJ3 ... also like John Riley's sig stick. I definitely need to experiment with other options.
It's 1.2 mm steel shell w/ 1.2 mm hoops... it's quite lively! It seems to date from ~2011 or so.

Is there reason to use anything? Do drum manufacturers recommend applying anything to the bearing edges? I have never used anything so am curious what others do and why?
I don't think it's a bad thing... while I don't have 240 cymbals, I've collected enough that they were all over the place or stacked such that it was a pain to locate a particular cymbal. I've seen some great ideas for storing and accessibility.
