Alex, the kit looks great. I bet it's a lot of fun to play.

looks neat . i like the idea of a 20'' BD more and more everyday , it allows more set up options - racks height and with the large array of heads available , you can pretty much extract any sound and feel possible .

i bet this kit sounds great and rumbles like an acrylic kit should .

Very cool. I like those sizes, as well. Very easy transporting!

Hard not to like that Alex!
How does she sound?

Thanks! Yeah when I saw and heard the Crystal Beat drums at PASIC in 2014 I knew I wanted to get a set eventually. They are a blast to play!

I'm used to a 22" but as you said, it's easier to get the toms where you want them with a 20" and it's a smaller drum so it's easier to move around. The bass drum has plenty of volume and depth to the sound, no issues there at all. The kit as a whole has a beautiful low end and plenty of punch.
