No HUGE changes since I last posted pics, but some things have been moved around, and I'm not sure if i ever posted pics with these heads.

I really have everything now at maximum comfort level I would say.

not bad, i really like my sabian crash much better, i think it's sound unbelievable, even though it is pretty damn cheap too.

They are angled inwards to each other...Many people including myself like them to not do this.

Ah, yeah i'm not sure what to do about that. The inward angle isn't nearly as severe as it looks in the pictures, but the thing is, as they are, they are angled directly to ME, which makes it comfortable. Also not hitting the bass drum with the second tom is an issue when i move it around. I'll have to mess around with it soon.

Open-handed players sometimes do this, he must play open-handed.

It all looks good :thumb: Don't worry about the toms, they don't seem bad, just a little angled. If they're comfy, they're good like that ;)

how do you like that CS Reverse Dot on the snare?

I love the sound, BUT my only complaint is that you absolutely HAVE to play it on the dot, if you try to drag in from the edge with a buzz roll or somethign like that, it relaly just sounds HORRIBLE when you play off of the dot.

i have the CS reverse Black Dot as well. i love the sound it gives, good crack. but you have to hit it squarely on the dot. and the coating gets chipped away to easily. especially for hard hitters.

yeah, it does sound damn great though.
