NOT my "cup of tea" regarding the set, the drum sizes, but still, this drummer's idea for the composition is GREAT!!!

Otherwise, You get what You get... :)
You buy a cheap small portable set, and then change ALL the heads on it, and You get a decent sound...

Just like I did on my Gretsch Catalina bop kit.
Changed top and bottom heads, and both bass drum heads.
And it sounded nice, but not WOW nice...

Very tasteful, indeed!

I love the pitch bending on the kick drum.

Very nice cymbals, as well. ;)

Yowee tasty! Had to put on headphones and go back. Cliff, you're spot on with the tonal bass. I try that on occasion, but never get that much shift. Must come from a tight and undamped batter.

The overall control and musicality knocks my socks off. Loved the lighting strategically placed to illuminate the beater.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Not sure it is the kick drum sound I want, but I think it is where you need to be to still get a note that resonates with the beater buried in the head. Works for him, though. ;)

His high tuning reminds me of Sully. ;)

I am thinking what an asset it would be in a group with no bass player. Now... why would I think of a thing like that? Trouble is it makes one more detail to be in control of. Great if you can do it!

Probably helps that it is a 16, and that the beater (at least appears) to be hitting way out toward the edges.

I think it's a 14, Greg.

Oh my goodness! At one time that was my smallest rack tom, but my rack was deeper. :shock:
