Gorgeous outfit !I prefer my Slingerland bass drums with the badge facing out, but to each his own.
Hi Kevins,
That's because I am using a "Super Set-O-Matic" tom holder, which turns the drums so that the badges appear as you see in the picture. With the regular double Set-O-Matic mount the badges would face the front.
Usually, when I play a gig I prefer to use one rack tom mounted on a snare stand. What I like about a set like this is I can "mix and match" to suit whatever type of gig I play. For example, for a jazz gig I might just use the 12" and 14" toms. When I play with a big band, I'll add the other floor tom.
