The working title while making this kit was "Spartacus" (because of the looks and the spartian design with the single tension lugs). This set consists of European marching drums, that I transformed into hybrid drums (metal glued around thick re-rings) to be able to run modern (inch-sized) heads on them.

I like the looks of this kit best with one floor tom. The second floortom may be a nice optional bop bass drum.

All drums (except the second floor tom) look very old and battered (I didn't polish them on purpose), but are technically 100% sound (in round/flat/smooth bearing edges).

It sounds loud/punchy but also resonates strongly. I post a link to a vdeo/soundfile later.
