The full Vintage Series Rig...

Here she is! 22/13/16/18 and Artist Bronze Snare. 600 Series Hardware including DCSs modified with BA-TB's and short down pipes to cut weight and eliminate the ends of booms sticking out.

Cool--I like that finish! I have the same thing now, in the vintage marine pearl. My 18" drum has come in, but I can't go get it just yet because of the recent foot surgery...not that I could play it anyway, if it was here. So I'm only missing the 12" tom now, but that's a few months off yet as I understand it.

Nice looking kit Jules! How do you like the 18? I'm contemplating adding one to my 22, 10, 13, 16 Vintage Series kit.

I love the 18". I still have some tweaking to do with the whole set. May drop the toms a little and possible bring the bass drum up slightly. I am going to try several heads and tunings on the snare, also.

I just finished re-heading my 14/16/18 setup last night ready for playing at the weekend. Very exciting!

Have you already told what heads you put on?

[DaveInNZ]

It's got coated Emperors over Coated Ambassadors on it.

I have known about the new series coming out for a few months, and still opted for the Vintage series. No buyer's remorse. Nothing negative to say about the Momentum series, but not my depths on bass drum and toms, and as of now, there isn't a color I just have to have.

Had I known about it 6-7 weeks ago, I likely would have waited and gotten a birch kit. But the vintage-series kits are very cool...and a guy can't pin himself down to only one kit forever. I'm sure the day will come, lol.

And it just might save me from making an expensive SQ2 purchase to boot!
