And one of my hayman drums i've just finished refinishing:

What's with the cymbal to the upper left of the hi hats?

I like the china, looks really nice. I've heard great things about Stagg, it's too bad we can't get them in the US very easily.

[Tim]

looks nice man

[drummingducktape]

specs?

[Iodus]

lol, that cymbal above the hihat?

It was a school cymbal (vintage Avedis) and the whole bell cracked cause the fags put it on a stand with no felts or plastic sleeves, so i cut the bell out an hung it up with some wire (i'm cheap)

[Maggot Dream]

The refinish job on that drum looks pretty good.

haha. Ive got really good vision. Also I have a speedking on my ludwigs and their the only pedal I know with that kind of shape haha.

[Iodus]

true, they're great pedals

[White]

I dont know whether or not I like your kit lol. it looks like junk pieced together, but its good junk lol.

[Iodus]

lol, yea, it'll be nice when I finish refinishing all my drums,
hopefully then it'll look like it belongs together lol

[Drum Phil]

Nice man. Stagg owns :)

[ant_182]

1 word......ORGASMIC!

[Undisco Kidd]

I love you and your Speedking. Who needs ajustable parts with a name like 'Speedking'?

[slim_jim147]

change your head

[Double Bass Jim]

Dang! That chinas looks great!!

[We_Love_Lime]

Hows that Coated Dip over Clear Pin snare going? Would you recommend a Coated Dip as a snare batter? and Nice Kit. Three rides. Nice

[santi3hg]

that is one sexy china man, how much did it cost you?

[Iodus]

the china cost me $150NZ, maybe about $100 in US currrency

On the dip/pin snare i've cranked both heads, it's really only good for effects, and I can't say I've really tried a coated dip as a batter on a real snare, I'm always scared I'll put a stick through it, especially with the crazy guys from school I let play on it, but that'll change once I finish refinishing everything.

[rockindrummer]

Awsome kit man. That china looks super sexy. Nice setup too man, you need some new heads too.

That tom looks amazing, that finish has a sweet ambient vibe to it.

[keaton_86]

Where in NZ are you from? Pukekohe here.

[sweet_nothings]

That's a sexy re-finish. That's like.... whoa. Good job, it looks new.

Nice china too. But I'm still lovin the refinish more. That's the sex.

[Iodus]

Thanks for all the comments guys!
