I have 10 packages hitting Monday unless FedEx delivers to the wrong place, loses or steals them. Lots of trouble with FedEx this year and having misplaced packages.
At any rate: I am getting Vintage Series in 13/16/18/22! Also, some hardware pieces needed to streamline my 600 series hardware. I just got back a 600 series DCS that I had 15 years ago and sold, so it's cool to be reunited with that, but I am going to put more modern things on it like memory locks, cymbal tilter hardware and such. May seem trivial to some, but for a few extra bucks, I can have a current spec 600 series stand without buying it brand new.
I also got some light weight (read: somewhat cheap) bags for carrying the drums when needed. The first thing I am going to do is set them up and get the dialed in then head out of town, so the last thing I want to do is bang them up. This will be the best brand new drum set I have ever had. I have had several new sets and many used sets, and the only thing close was the Signatures I had but they were 20 years old, bought in mismatch singles and in some ways were showing their age.
I seriously contemplated an SQ2 set, but we all know what the build and delivery times look like, and I was really struggling with finding a set I liked as an interim kit without really blowing the budget. I was initially going with the Rosewood replica veneer, but that quickly, the 18" was sold and was available in any finish I wanted, as long as it was Teak! (Old Ford Model T joke)
Teak looks nice on the screen and I have all confidence that it is going to look really classy in person! Just 2 days until it all lands. Pics and video to come, for sure!!!
