It's a gift from his grandpa, Jim. He'll light up no matter what finish I settle on. It's his first set of drums... can't help but be a -huge hit- regardless of color. The Club Date sizes are going to be a great fit for him too. He's 13 and wirey.
I'm going to start shopping for some nice pies, a pedal and stands to go along with the kit. I'll tune the drums up and he'll be able to set-up and play them right out of the box.
Gig/jam ready!
