Is there something we can do?

Like, there has to be some cost for running this site(?)…

Bake sale?

Dude, you know I’m into the bigger cymbals, but I’ve found 15’s to be the magic size!

You’re a Sabian guy, right? I feel like they don’t have too many larger options as far as rides go, but I...

Are you asking about the newer Session Studio Selects that replaced the Session Studio Classics from a few years back?

Or are you asking about some older past lines from Pearl?

Whaaaaa?!?!?

A change in brands or just model numbers?

Yeah.. Dave Bloom just sent me an invite. I wonder if he is on the Pearl Drummers Forum at all?

Beautiful!

The toms look centered to me…

16” x 14” would be my preferred size as well.

Assuming you’re talking about the kit on eBay, I’d have to agree 100%.

$500 is what I would hope to get for the shells and a bit of hardware thrown in.

Damn fine view Mr. Smith!!!

Seriously looks like a blast to play!

Very nice!

I think its no secret that I’m a huge fan of the Session Studio Select. All together I own three toms, four toms, four floor toms, three snares, and five kicks from this line…

Damn,...

Strange… not sure what happened there. I’ll try again, I guess.

I’ve had the tool for so long, I legit don’t remember where I bought it from…

Edit; here’s a nicer one for ten bucks on Amazon…

I thought that was me? When I was still Tasty808… You gave me credit at the end of your tutorial video.

Ive pressed a few air vents in with the help of a simple tool. They essentially look factory new.

Beautiful!

If only they offered Scarlet Sparkle Burst…

Very cool!

I mean, not that you had to do them, but that you did, and it’s a better drum now.

I really enjoy doing stuff like this. I love bringing a snare all the way down to the bare shell...

Mods made.

Chrome over steel mini is complete.

Damn fine looking drums, men!

Very cool! Those are some seriously large drums. I would definitely be on the lookout for a 12” Tom and 16” floor.

Welcome to the forum, btw. Can’t wait to see some pics.

Don’t get me wrong here, gentlemen. I love big hi hats and play them almost exclusively on the stand. But I’m also a collector and these are some rare hi hats.

They actually just arrived today...

Could it be that it was sanded?

I did the same with an old 13” brass SensiTone that had a tremendous amount of tarnish on it.

Well, I used to play a set of 12” ReMix series hi hats from Zildjian that sounded great for the hip hop music we were playing. I played them upside-down after seeing a video of this guy named...
