Well it took me about 3 1/2 years to finally get it to where it is...but overall I am pleased!

No I wasn't going for perfect catalog. And I know that a few things will forever keep it a 'player' kit but I am more than happy with it.

Thanks for looking!

Kevin

Thanks for the nice words everyone! And yes it is a 24" bass drum. 13 and 16 toms.

I have the badge for the bass drum but forgot to order a grommet so that is coming later.
