Yeah Awesome, Nice Pick Up. The bass drum is ehh;), but Mines like that too so heh. How's your Janus, I'm thinking of just picking up the Ergo, and Single and I wanna know how they feel? Are they good? They're rather cheap. Nice heads too.

Nice man, i officially love your kit now. Two last things i'd suggest, move the splash to the other side of the hi-hats and get a clamp for that rack tom :)
Otherwise its pretty damn sexy

i totally plan on it...i got LOTS now...before i got the new heads i had like 50 i think:p...
Chester:
The Tranni-pedal works like this: the main pedal powers the main beater. The slave pedal powers the slave beater and the hi-hat. It does this by having a moveable foot board. There are guards on either side of the slave pedal so you can just push it to the right or left with your foot. If you push it to the right, it powers the slave beater, and if you push it to the left, it powers the hi-hat.

That's pretty sexy if you ask me. I'd have that splash cramped up to the crash right next to your hihats.
:thumb: Good anyway.
