Thanks for the kind words FFR428, They're not exactly mint as they have their share of scuffs and spider cracks but it's fairly minimal for a Satin Flame wrap. And YES they're fun to play. They really sound great, too. I'm using coated Ambassador X heads on the snare and toms for the batters and clear standard Ambassadors on the bottom. I'm really loving the X's. The Amb. X's are 20% thicker than a standard Amb. providing me with a bit more life. There's also an X-14 that's a single ply 14 mil. On the B.D. I'm using a Powerstroke 3 coated on the batter and an Ambassador on the front with a felt strip under the front head and it sounds HUGE. For me it's just the sound I want from these tubs.The band loves them, too.
