Cool that this thread got resurrected.

I've now picked up a lot of interesting hardware on the same basis as Kona...comes along with the drum set. (Same with cymbals.) I'm excited that a lot of what I got has been covered in this thread already.

I still haven't had a chance to try any of it yet since it's sitting in USA but I'll be going there this week so hopefully will be able to report back in a month!
