Hey all,

I have been putting this set together for a few years now...I finally had the time to set up my stainless set...I`m still tweaking it and moving things around, so, these pics are preliminary shots...These drums sound amazing and I do like the sound of the concert toms...

Pictured are:

Drums:

22 bass drum

5x14 Acrolite

16/18 double head floor toms

12/13/14/15/16/18/20/22/24 concert toms

Cymbals:

I will post in the Gallery when I achieve the final set-up!!

Cheers

Holy cow! I did not know they made concert toms that big. Very cool set up, looks like a ton of fun. Now you got me thinking about putting my big kit together again.


Thank you!

Jeff you played On the set I had at the drum show years back

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Thanks gents!! Eventually, I want to take all the shells somewhere to get them professionally detailed to remove the any swirl marks, scuffing and hazing...

I need to switch out the head on the 20" concert tom because it sounds "dead"...It has an Emperor bass head on it instead of a regular tom head...I`m hoping that`s the cause since the shell is also out of round a little as well...

Overall, I`m very impressed with them...The bass drum is wide open with no muffling and it sounds as good as my 26`s...Like a cannon!!

I will post more pics as I add to the set...

Cheers

That looks like it would be a blast to play.

I bet it would really look fantastic under the stage lights.

Thanks for sharing this. Makes me want to pull my mega set out and go at it again.
