Well back to the sbject, I have a strange feeling the kit will end up green sparkle.
Thonbeck had a good idea, sort of trick him into picking the color and then lay it on him when its all done. That way you get both of best worlds, his choice and big suprize. Plus, not only is he going to be shocked with the drums, you are picking out some awesome cymbals and hardware to go with it. Lucky young man to have a cool G.P. like you with a big big heart.
Now for the rest of us you have to capture the look on his face when he gets it and post a picture. I suprized my daughter with a Toyota Camery for her 16th BD and hide a video camera in the shop to capture the moment. I love things like this, its so much fun to make people happy. We would like to be right here enjoying the momment with you and your family.
