Hey, are those Paistes? Vinnie uses them now!

The 24" Giant Beat ride is quite spectacular.

i'm surprised the 18" didn't come with a lift kit?

Thank God it didn't, 'cause I don't like them at all. I prefer the bass drum on the ground. I don't want the beater hitting dead center.

Yeah ive always thought that's how the likes of tony and elvin got their bass drum sound. 18 inch kick with the beater way off center.... I think of live at birdland...

Yamaha does the best finishes.

Indeed, but Tama is putting out nice stuff too...

I have an 18" I use quite a bit, and I like mine too

Ah yes. Recording customs. I can hear my old cherrywood customs singin away (sigh....)

Been meaning to pick up another set of these. Was in Sam Ash on Desoto and Roscoe a few years ago. They had a power tom set with 8, 10, 12,....14 & 16 suspended toms w/and 18' power kick. Just like the kit I used to have. But in white. I'm kinda kickin myself for not pciking that kit up.

Nice kit Paul. Need to post you playing a tune with those bad boys.

Beautiful kit, Paul! I second the video request.
