A few in a minute or so.

Amb/Amb or Emp/Amb. Can't go wrong.

I'll drop what these are then:

1: Vintage Series 12x8 medium beech 6mm, round bearing edge
2: SQ2 12x8 Vintage Maple, 4mm+2mm re rings
3: Birch Infinite 12x9 medium birch 6mm
4: SQ2 12x9 Vintage birch shell, 4mm+2mm re rings

I think its the shell measurements. The floating heads have a feel and I think that's what gives very true timpanic like sound.

If it was in budget, I would have said Delite/Prolite.

I don't... because I basically never get rid of gear. It just has to pass the justification of use test for me. I think resale potential (or lack of ...) is more of a consideration for custom orders/gear.

Cool Dave! Any speculations?

That's very very nice!

Cool round up there Jules. Thanks for listening! And thanks for the tip - noted.

Do you have any ideas to materials or shell types? Interesting your notes on tom 1.
