I will post pics in this thread-- SOON. I've been too busy to take pictures.
I've been learning Rush songs and destroying my drum heads with big, heavy, aluminum drumsticks.
I have a setup with (left to right) 6", 8", 10", 10" steel mini-timbales, then 10", 12", 14", 16" in the big, red toms.
So I have a full "octave" (or, eight notes, anyway..) It's a real, full-body workout.
...
At first I was surprised at how high-pitched and "ringy" these drums sounded at the tuning tension that felt natural. But realizing what would have been considered "high-end" qualities in 1987, it all makes sense. They're designed for what I'm doing now-- very busy playing where ATTACK is needed more than a full, round tone.
