Here's some of mine.

Probably twenty or so more in cases buried in the back yard.

Some of you might recognize some of your old friends here.

Seems like there aren't m(any) of these in anyone's collection in the 6.5" depth.

WoW! I'm so impressed with that kit of snares. I'd love to hear it. I really like the 16" bass. That's so cool looking and I bet it sounds great!

Thanks guys. My set was inspired by Fred Young, drummer for Kentucky Headhunters. I grew up seeing their videos on CMT. Quick pic:

For the last ten years I have been saving money and trading up. Then I saw this Ryno's drumset on Cymbalholic.com, and I was inspired to take the plunge.

McDrummer - It sounds really different than other sets I've owned. Very warm, round. Resonates longer as well. I have tried to make recordings, but they don't do it justice. In a couple weeks I'll have access to high quality recording equipment, and I'll see about posting the results.

Single tension drums are a different animal, for sure. If you want a deeper sound, you can tune them down...but you will lose tension on the batter side as well as the resonant side. If you want a higher pitch, you have to crank them...or you can use a light weight reso. head and achieve it without the risk of choking the sound from overcrank. More planning goes into choosing heads for these drums, and I don't have extra money right now. I went with medium weight heads all around, and I'm happy with the results. I like them tuned low.

I have been cutting down my collection lately,... some goodies left though :-)
