First off the 1.2 mm is a versatile choice in my opinion. The uncoiled snares gives a dryer effect without the need for tape , gel , or whatever your favorite gizmo will be obsolete. Over all warm but has a beautiful rim shot that projects if needed. Didnt care for the stock head and got a remo coated ambassador. Instantly a huge improvement sonically! Clarity in both pianissimo & Molto forte ! Yes i love this strainer and boy oh boy do i love the tube lugs . Highly recommended for acoustic jazz . I First heard this same snare at birdland japan video with kendrick scott .👏🏼

This is truly the Roland flagship Module. Easy to load expansion packs that sound awesome. Sound so real. My band is begging me to take the kit out yo gigs.

These drums are really good!! I could not wait to piece them together! Fast shipping!

Works great for my needs. The overall construction is well made and the ability to position my tom where I need it is fantastic! I highly recommend it.

Sounds great and looks great. Can’t ask for more than that!

I bought a Gretsch catalina with an 18” bass drum a long time ago. It came with an Evans bass drum batter and reso. I still wanted the Gretsch logo and so bought these remo permatone heads. I use remo heads for the other drums anyway and so was fine with that. I didn’t really understand what I had and what I was buying. I had to do some research after the huge, long floor tom like boom that came from the bass drum, lol. It took me a bit of experimentation to find the sound I wanted and am very happy with it. It’s different than the Evans or what I imagine a Powerstroke III would give you, but I think it sounds pretty awesome.
I eventually wound up with half a towel rolled up against both batter and reso heads. It lasts a little longer maybe than the heads with control rings. Maybe…but it sounds very deep and bigger and more open than the control ring heads. They're single ply too, or at least a thinner mil. All of this is interesting to me because I didn’t have anything in the bass drum with the Evans heads.

Both the 7 AN and the 5 A work great for my daily practice and road playing. Vater makes Great sticks even there blems !

Pop rocket of a snapping snare drum. Clean vintage sound and look with impeccable construction. Has moved up to my favorite bop snare drum.

I have a vintage Premier bass drum that is 21.5" in diameter. Remo can make custom heads for it, but the price is too high to allow for any experimentation. Right now I have two sets of heads, the original calf and a set of Fiberskyn 3's that I got 20 years ago. They are nice, but ring too much for micing even when I use the drum's tone controls and felt strips. I can get it close with a pillow, but it is a hassle to constantly be messing with it.
I have a another modern kit with a Remo muffle ring in the 22" and it sounds exactly like what I am shooting for. So I ordered one from Portsmouth Drum Center. The ring was oversize for the drum, but it was simple to cut a 1 1/2" section out of the tray and the foam to get it to fit.
I put it under the batter head, did a quick tune and the drum sounds like it never did before with exactly the low fundamental thump that I had been seeking for way too long. It might be my imagination, but the drum sounds a bit louder with the ring muffling it than when I used the pillow. It sounds really good, especially in the smaller rooms I sometimes play in where I can't run it through the PA with a bunch of EQ.
All in all, not a lot of money very well spent.

I snapped a lug on my gretsch renown RN1 tom while tightening them down to the shell, (re-wrap project). I was worried they might not fit due to being USA spec. No problem at all !

Great high hat stand for jazz! I put a pair of 13" Jo Jo Meyers high hats--they rock! I love that the stand takes up minimal space. I did read in a review that the rubber on bottom of the legs sometimes come off. I did not have that problem, but I did glue them on with rubber to metal glue as a precaution.

The drum is very well made and beautiful. The sound is unique, somewhere between a 6.5x14 and a 5x14. The dry head gives it a great sound for electronic music. I added a Gruv-X X-click to make stick clicks easier. The smaller diameter is excellent for compact setups.
