Very nice! And you have a canister throne with it...too cool! I wish I could find one in WMP at an affordable price.

I'll let you know if I see a tom anywhere.

Is that the same drum that was on Ebay? I was lookin at that. I needed that to complete my set. VM2000 got a little closer to his full set with that snare..
It's a beauty!

No it's not the same drum. I bought this kit from the original owner and all together minus the 9x13" tom I'm looking for now.

I just checked out that other snare. Your correct. I think the guy relisted it and it still did not sell. I would love to find a snare like that but that ebay snare is a little to rich for my blood. It's a nice one too.
