Thanks everyone! Thanks for all the kind words on my new favorite kit. I would love to shine up the cymbals but I always understood that as a no no. Thoughts? I imagine you can clean em up to some degree right? I am asking you guys because you are so wise. Like a miniature Buddha.

I was just joking on cleaning up the cymbals...hence the crazy smilley face...

DO NOT clean up the cymbals!

Ha! I had a feeling you were kidding. Missed the smiley. The restorer in me has a hard time not shining those suckers up even though it is sacrilege. Good news is I am done!

Those are really nice. I like the fix on the bass drum too. Great idea. Yep LOL I like the cymbals grubby lookin. Patina as some will say. But it'll really bother some people too. They fit the vibe well though, very well done!! Enjoy them! :)
