    I'm pretty sure I ended up with that 18x22, 9x13, and 16x18. Bought them a month or so ago... Whoever had them most recently put them on e-Bay and they were the exact color and sizes I needed for my Heart tribute band, All Heart. I ordered a matching 16x16 that should be here in 8 or so months. Anyway, these drums are showroom perfect, absolutely beautiful, and they sound amazing! Planning on using my 1985 Super Gripper brass shell snare with them. Can't wait to see them under stage lights when all this COVID

    It's hard to pass up a good deal on great sounding drums with MW hardware.

    Those maple kits sound great.
    I haven't been playing much lately.
    I really love my Masterworks, sometimes it is just difficult to justify keeping it when I could sell it and have some extra money.

    I want to teach my kids how to play but not on a Masterworks kit and I don't have money to buy another kit, practice cymbals, pedal, etc.

    I probably won't sell my kit, but it's been a thought in my mind recently.
    I understand now. Thanks for explaining!

    Nice to see you thinking wisely, especially now that you have children to think about. Now that both my kids are in college, I have really grown up with my spending.

    I'm puzzled. Ryan, why are you selling your Masters drums already? Did you order something else? Also Brad, why would you sell your Masterworks to by Masters?

    Ryan, see you listed a kick, the 13x9" rack, and the 18x16" floor tom on eBay. I wish I had some extra cash, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

    I would strongly consider selling my kit to buy your drums. I love red sparkle obviously, and that 4 ply maple with the MW hardware sure does look nice. I'm not in love with those sizes so that is my only hang-up.

I like the rack, but if I could, I would sell it and get another curved ICON again. I love that rack the most. Honestly at this point I want stands again really. Easier to adjust my cymbals.
    The rack looks great. Stands are definitely easier. Your drums look great with either. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to customize my Tama rack. The parts are all different.

That is the liquid Gibraltar (legless) hi hat stand. I like it! Sturdy and just fits perfect with double bass!
    Thanks. I'm planning on rocking a double bass setup soon and have been researching hihat options. That one looks like a really neat solution.

    Ryan your kit looks great! What kind of rack is that? I'm guessing DW or PDP? Also, it must be the photos, but your two larger rack toms look like they are exactly the same size. but they are 12/13 right?

    Why not add a floor tom or gong drum to your left side. I love having a tom on my left.
