Ok, yeah you win. LOL

Insane collection man, rack gear and snares alike! Would love to hear some recordings you've done!

Assuming that Tama bell brass is the reissue? If it's an original, that's museum quality

It's a 40th anniversary 2nd run bell brass. they quietly made an additional 40 pieces after the first 40 sold out.

I grew up with an acoustic kit and was primarily a drummer who also played guitar and bass. Couldn't put drums in my dorm or apartments and play through college so I sold the drums and bought more guitars. About 5 years ago I was finally able to get a kit again, only now I'm e drumming. I recently added an extension to the hi hat mount so it sits in the middle of the kit from left to right, just behind the central rack tom. I'm also running an extra cymbal pad as a china, branched it from the rim zone of the big "floor tom".

Overall I am super impressed with the feel of mesh heads and size of the kit. It feels very realistic to playing an acoustic kit to me. Cymbals feel different, more stiff but still fine. The sounds and samples have come so far though, sounds very much like a "natural" recorded tone.

Love playing drums! Started my first kit at 60 with Pearl Masters Maple and built a rack around it for shits and giggles. I’ll post a pick when I get a chance and if this thread is still active. Stupid ridiculous for my skill level! ?

Curious on your thoughts of both this snare and the Catalina ash kit. The Ash one has my attention as a cool budget kit in a wood I don't currently own
 
Ash is a really great wood for rock and metal snares (y) birch is still my favorite on toms though. and maple for kiks.

the snare is awesome. ive been hearing about bell brass since dave russo used his tama on the hatebreed demos back in the day, that snare is a legendary thing here in CT, then i learned about the terminator and sonors when i was snare hunting and decided i needed something bell brass, the oriollo's sounded closest to me for way less so i went for it and im glad i did. i have a pearl brass piccolo, a pork pie 13x7 squealer and the stock snare so im pretty covered with snare tones.

the gretsch i honestly just bought on a whim when i was putting my studio together, it kept catching my eye at sam ash just cause its so pretty and then one day it was on clearance so i bought it. i remember watching this video before buying it thinking it sounded great, listening back now years later it still sounds great to me and pretty much how my kit sounds. the ash seems to have a little more mid punch kind of thump
