Wow!. They look great.

I see you were able to find collets for the internal memory locks (and presume they have been loctited). :?

I hope you are going to record a clip soon, for comparison of the kick set up against your prior samples(s) with the EQ4.

Speaking of heads, have you received and tried the calfskin share head(s) we had talked about a while ago?

Feel free to make that another string, if you like.


Thanks, Cliff. The surface isn't what I was expecting, but I am growing to like it. Even a low gloss surface shows every rumple, and these thin shells do distort over time, particularly if the bolts have been over torqued. Lily likes it a lot, so that's what's important. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Collets not loctited yet. Waiting for certainty on elevation.

Calf-skin head arriving this Thursday :D finally.

The wife liking it is important. My wife doesn't even notice when I change drums. This is a plus too :D

I think the finish looks great. Those kits though, have never done anything for me.
They look like toys.

That's funny, Kelly. I know what you mean, but you would change your mind if you played them. Nothing toylike about what comes out if it.

Compared to Phonic, Sig, and Designer hardware, this stuff does seem slight, but it is more substantial than S-Classix, which wobbled in a light breeze.

Would have arrived today. I love the shipping industry; the slogan should be changed to read "On time is when you see it."

:lol:

It arrived HERE today, but the instructions say to mount the head and tension lightly, then let it sit for a day or two. At the end of that time (why can't an instruction say one day, or two days?), it's ready to tune. Got band practice tomorrow, so maybe I'll mount it after that, then I can tune it on Monday.
