Well I have a regular smooth white PS3 head with a Sonor logo on order, but am extremely tempted to swap that order over to a fiberskyn
And seeing these pictures made up my mind!

Woah, gorgeous, man! I'll never get tired of seeing your kit. I think my favorite part about it is the sizes you chose. Those are my dream sizes, as well.

[Levi07]

I could look at this kit all day. You really know how to make a great kit even greater. Love the new side snare and of course the K Light.

[DarkNostril]

Your cymbals dwarf your drums! I love how the K looks from above.

How's the chick on your crash/hats?

[Just_Dan]

gorgeous looking colour on the kit there fella, ive just seen how much it sets you back and i know it costs a pretty penny im sure it's worth it.

[CaptainLaser1]

The sweetest kit on the forum. End of story. just sweet sweet sex.

Whoa man. to be honest, I thought I'd seen so much of your kit that it had lost its charm.

I fell in love again when I saw these pics.

[PureRockFury]

DAMN MAN! What a beautiful kit. Clean, sleek, comfortable setup. I bet it sounds BADASS!!!

Question... How do you like the Vintage A's? As usual I pick up my trusty ol' Coated Ambassadors, but I was rather curious to try the Vintage A heads, but just couldn't pull the trigger since Ambassadors work so well on the Oaks for me.

The Fiberskyn looks great on your kit. I love it on my 24" bass. Crazy depth, warmth and a fantastic medium between boom and punch.

[Jeffrey.]

Yes!
You're insane. no one should have a kit that beautiful.
I'm so jealous!

flat base stands would be perfect for your kit...

[Bombita]

Connor, you've got a reaaally beautiful kit man. It's so simple and well built... I love it.

[Rullrich 5150]

noice.......noice ....Love the cymbal too !

[ntime]

That's very nice! I would have a 12" tom instead of the 10", but that's just me. Again, that's a very nice set of drums.
