I like the amber fade, looks really cool. In fact, I wish my finish was like that....but no I had to get "Racing Green"....:upset:

[Zildjian]

white mica :)

Meh the white Mica looks too plain. It has no life really...but thats just my opinion

[ludvista29]

He only likes it because his kit is white ;)

[drummingducktape]

^^Very good point.

[TormentorScott]

Sparkles are a bit too much, and the amber and white are all too common.

I'd go with the sea fade

[othankheavenfor311]

i dont know... i didnt like the pic of the amber fade but if it looks like Joseph Yamaha's kit then go wit it...

i voted for sea fade

[Mista Bob]

Without a doubt, Sea Blue Fade.

[drummingducktape]

i do have to admit that the sea blue is very nice and would totally go for that to. but that kit just makes it look so ****en awesome although im sure sea blue would look just as good.

[cliq]

sea blue ! that's one hot finish:naughty:

[Sharkey Boy]

Omg sea blue fade.....yummy yummy yummy!

[MeaninglessPhoto]

Sea blue fade FTW

[Chris]

Get Vintage. It looks 10000xs better.

Sea blue. No question.

And by the way, white mica looks horrible.

[maniac0796]

Wait, do Yamaha's have die cast rims on them?

I chose the amber fade. It was a tough choice between the sea blue fade thingymajigaboba.

[Superman]

Yeah, that amber fade is awesome.

I like the mango burst on the Mapex Saturns.

[saars]

amber fade FTW

[metallas]

Well I have the black sparkle.Anyway, listen to me.
Some times we see one seperate drum and we may think that it's the best finish.
But we don't think how the whole drumkit will be and sometimes the whole image is not what we expect.So, focus on the kit, not on the drum.
-If you choose the vintage naturall finish, be prepared for the change.I saw how it becomes after some time and I didn't like it at all, but maybe that's only me. you may like it.
-Another choice is Red Pearl Natural Lacquer.It's close to the vintage naturall
finish, but it's lacquer so it won't change after some months.Someone from the audience would think that it's the naturall finish.Good!
-Sea blue is a very good choice.One of my favourites. Just image a kit with this finish. Amazing! But I am not a fun of the sea blue FADE.
-Cherry Wood Lacquer would also show off your kit.It will get everyone's attention.
I visited the yamaha's site and I reallised that they removed many finishes from the catalog with the absolute finishes.
Also chech the embossed blue, silver sparckle, black sparcle (normal, fade and sunburst)

12* with an absolute already?

Jesus.


Sea Blue, though. Congrats.

[Panopticon]

Both of the sparkles...at the same time.

[Sean]

[Sabian4015]

[Brendan]

maybe he's just got a job unlike us. damned youngin's

but yea, definatly get the sea blue fade

[ludvista29]

nah, I kinda inherated 2500 so :D

[HeLLmO]

inherited? as in you killed your grandparents and they left you the cash in their wills inherited?

[ludvista29]

inherited? as in you killed your grandparents and they left you the cash in their wills inherited?
no, my grandma sold her house(still alive) and she gave some money to her kids and grand children, so yeah

[HeLLmO]

lucky bastard. when my grandma dies my uncle is just gonna take all her cash

[pitchfork]

White mica, the cleanest cut looking.

[ludvista29]

lucky bastard. when my grandma dies my uncle is just gonna take all her cash
ah that sucks

[static]

When my grandma died all I got was her kidney.

[HeLLmO]

ah that sucks

yea it does, especially since the last thing my uncle needs is more money

and you should save that kidney george, ya never know when your gonna need a new one

[Bonham#1!]

Sea blue fade is pertay. I loves it.

[Chester]

the blue sparkle fade looks pretty nice, but the sea blue fade HAS to be the winner because it just looks so amazing

all of them are pretty nice imo besides that white mica.

[metallas]

no, my grandma sold her house(still alive) and she gave some money to her kids and grand children, so yeah

Are you serious? That's exactly how I got my Birch Custom Absolute.My grandma and grandpa sold their house.That happened two years ago. Just a month ago my grandfather died.
Anyway, buy the kit from massmusic.net cause they give free hardware with it such as DFP9310 DS1100 and hot stuff like this

[othankheavenfor311]

^^sorry to hear about your gramps

but yes def. buy from mass music unless you are getting an amazing deal somewhere else

[HeLLmO]

well, i think massmusic kinda went without saying though, because we all know massmusic is the best

[ilikenoise]

always natural. if not, that mista bloo spawkle.

[ludvista29]

I would order it from my store but, theres no tax on massmusic so :D

[pitchfork]

My great grandma died a few months ago, obviously we are very sad about it.
But my nan sold her house and moved into my great nans house becuase my great grandad built it and its a much more valuable house too.
In short my dad is getting £50000 from the sale of the house.

[RedDrum]

I really don't like any Yamaha finishes but the good ol black. IMO

[metallas]

Have you decided about the sizes and the lugs? If yes tell me plz

[Sunshine]

Amber fade~~~

[ludvista29]

Have you decided about the sizes and the lugs? If yes tell me plz
yup, 20x16, 10x7.5,12x9,14x14,16x14 normal lugs

[metallas]

I think that power sized toms sound better. I would rec 10x09 and 12x10.
Many people buy the fast sizes for comfortable setup. But *** long *** you have 20" bass drum you don't have any setup problems.Your toms can get low enough without touching the bass drum.And do not think that the power sizes will have a very long lasting sound.
Nouveu lugs are more usefull and look better to me on small drums
