Wootness for comments because I love them.

[SparBZ]

Fiberskyn FTW.

They sound incredible :D Yay for post 300.

Now for some extra tuning on the snare and the floor tom >.<

PICS OF THE TWO BPS WHEN I AM ALLOWED TO HAVE THEM FOR THE HOLIDAYS :D

[Drum Phil]

Bps?

[Futuro]

ITT: Futuro finally finds a use for the "Zoom out" function.

[SparBZ]

Bps?

Black Panthers - 12 x 7 Steel, 10 x 5.5 Maple

I thought we liked Hi-Res?

[super_kick08]

We do. Just not that hugeeeee.

Looks nice though.

[raz0r]

I thought we liked Hi-Res?

Hi-Res != Large picture.

nice kit though.

[Ronald McRaygun]

beutiful kit and cymbals.

[Brokensticks]

Looks great, have any pictures from far out to see it all in it's glory?

[fishbulb]

I love the finish.

[Zildjian]

wow I have hi speed internet and it took like 3 min for this page to load...jeeez


awesome kit tho

[fredd]

Really awesome kit, biggest pics I've ever seen though :)

[drummguy731]

Yeah, downsize the pics man, nice buys though :thumb:

[Jezen]

Nice Vezir.

[SparBZ]

Sorry bout the ridiculous size then. I'm too in love with the kit to downsize them :P

[Chippy569]

i can't see **** :P

[Seafroggys]

Hi-res is pointless if the picture quality themselves sucks. The color dithering is bad, all the pictures are blurry....they would actually look much better if you shrunk them down.

[CombatWombat3]

man......my computer can't even load those images...firefox basically crashes when I open the main page of this thread. Resize them you ****er.

[goalieman92]

ha ha. it loaded for me in about a second and I'm my slow computer

Glad you took my advice on the drums, and pedal

[hey]

man you should make your pics a little bigger, they dont quite take up the whole internet yet

[Quinto]

nice kit and cymbals.

do you wrestle?you know, cuz of you going to blaire and all.

[MatthewMeredith]

wow I have hi speed internet and it took like 3 min for this page to load...jeeez


awesome kit tho

Haha I have cable and it took about 15 seconds :p

Seriously, Hi Res doesn't count for **** if it's at it's full resolution. If you take that same Hi Res pic and make it about the width of the browser, it will look 10 times better, and we don't have to scroll back and forth just to see the damn thing.

Geesh.

[Damo]

pics should not need to be any bigger than 1024, preferrably a max of 800px would be sufficient on a forum like this.

[santi3hg]

Bro, I lag trying to scroll down on these pics.

[MNdrummer21]

Well, those are some huge pics, but it looks great and really jazzy. Get some audio up when you can.

[jttdrummer14]

[Win A Rabbit]

:lol: I couldn't make out anything. Alot of red, alot of fiberskyn, and alot of cymbals. That was basically it.

[SparBZ]

But don't you love that finish :P

[Ollie The Drumming Legend]

Is that Black Panthers plural? Blimey, does it not come with a 12x7 maple&cherry snare? Mine did and it sounds great.

1. What do the istanbuls sound like, and where did you find them? Around me I can only find sabians and zildjians with a few of the cheapest sorts of paistes and meinls.

2. What do are fyberskins like, esp. on the bass drum? I got an evans eq3 but it doesnt sound that good? What have you got on the reso head?

Nice kit btw, should've got natural finish like me tho :P

[SparBZ]

^^

Came with a 12 x 7 Maple and Cherry and a 10 x 5.5 Steel (MassMusic Ily).

1. Istanbuls are amazing. Hand Hammered Brass from Turkey is only the best in my opinion. www.cymbalsonly.com is where I got them. I got a deal from the guy because my teacher's endorsed.

2. The fyberskyns are really jazzy, especially on the small bass.

Transparent Cherry is sex - The wood shows the right amount over a sex colour.

[Quinto]

do you wrestle, since im assuming you go to blair because of your keychain, and it says you live 20 minutes from nyc?

[SparBZ]

Yeah I do, actually. I know all the top wrestlers: Jared Platt, Mario Mason, Ryland Geiger, Adam Hogue, etc..

[Quinto]

thats sick, what do you weigh?

do you wrestle varsity or jv?

are you one of the beasts from blaire?

[Druumer89]

damn those are HUGE. Anyway, Looks good man.

[SparBZ]

thats sick, what do you weigh?

do you wrestle varsity or jv?

are you one of the beasts from blaire?

Na, I'm not one of the beasts. I wrestle 160 JV.

[Quinto]

nice, me too.

i heard you guys do some weird training things, like roll huge tires and roll boulders etc... is that true?

[MatthewMeredith]

Here is one of his pics when I zoomed out. I lold

http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/9908/untitledek9.jpg

What browser are you using? How the heck did you zoom out? That's awesome!

[Futuro]

I use firefox for everything, except looking at big pics.

Then I use the new IE. :)

[MatthewMeredith]

Dang now I'm kind of wishing I hadn't disabled IE... Ah well too lazy to change it back...

[pitchfork]

couldn't get the pics much bigger, nice though.
