Jim, there's my 8" tom missing from that picture. I usually have the drums in a 4- or 5-piece setup thou.

The drums are Pearl Export. More specs at http://www.nottoofast.com/joonas/drums.html

enemytopublic2: just send the snare to me! Don't be too sure you'll be getting it back thou!

Just because I'm so obsessed with these drums, here's more pics! I realized it today as I was setting the kit up only to take loads of pictures of it, that maybe I'm too obsessed with this all... ahh, what the heck. :D

Those old Pearl pedals are unbelievably comfortable. Like Tama's old Camco pedals.

Thanks guys!

Actually I like those pedals. They're surprisingly good for what they look like. I've got no idea how good they should be or how old they are. Still, I would've replaced them with DW5000 or Pearl Eliminator already if I was rich.

It's a 13" tom on the left of the hats, it's just there to make it into the pictures.

Right now, I don't want to see even the smallest piece of sanding paper. If someone wanted to pay me a LOT, I would consider doing his drums. It's hard to estimate how many hours went into this job.

Ok, after some thinking, I got an offer: You buy me a Pearl Reference kit, I paint your old drums just like you want them! Now get those orders coming!

edit: Almost forgot: I love my Byzances. Great cymbals! (to HeLLmO)
