Nice! Are you setting it up right away or is this a longer term project like building an acoustic space?

Setting it up right away. I have a detached workshop for this stuff.

One of my co-workers used the phrase "retirement set" and basically it means, why not get the setup that does everything you want? If it's the last drum set you ever own, you'll be set for life. I took it to heart-- I've been looking at used drum sets online for years, with the specific purpose of finding a sub-$1000 setup with a long run of matching toms. This is it. Birch shells, "power" depths, in red (matches my vintage Tama shells)-- if I didn't buy this now, I'd just continue looking for the same thing and eventually buy something just like it.

It arrives tomorrow, I've been watching the package tracking.. . .

Love the anticipation, it's like waiting for a new bike would be for me.

I'm crawling out of my skin. It was supposed to be delivered today, but it's still sitting at a depot about two hours away, and not marked as "out for delivery" yet.
