Ya I have pretty much made up my mind to leave them alone. I have a neat idea for the trim on the bottom of them, you'll see. Waiting for the koa veneer to arive, Im excited to see it.
I think it`s a great idea to keep them as is,..but can`t wait to see the trim !!
Don`t pay too much mind to what`s been posted so far,...I think most of it is full of crap !!
With my set up, I got a snare, Bass and floor toms , just like any others resonate kits, and it`s the same degree of difficulty depending, on how they get tuned !! "these are the one`s ya gotta get fine tuned" Same deal as the others don`t make much of a short cut. I hear all kinds of reasons and some make good points but for the most part,.. C-toms let you play in two different tones !!
A simple BD, snare, hat, beat/grove is done the same with an Octoplus kit as it is with a Classic kit and Radio King kit and Downbeat kit, and so on !!
