They never leave the house.

Very nice! I would love to hear the difference between the 6” and 8” bongo (power?) toms and the melodic toms.

*Bump* Here’s a couple of pics of my Ludwig rubies from power factory set up in current configuration. They never leave the house.

Here is a picture of my complete setup in octaplus config (sans bass drum) using 6.5x14 brass free floater. The 6” and 8” are RCI while the rest are all pointy B/O badges.
