All I will say is; if I had $2600. on-hand for drums, I'd spend it all on this one.
MikeL... have you seen this one? I'm ready to start selling off a bunch of stuff to get this one!

In marching band, the old Ludwig bass drum had two badges. A couple of times we stuck our sticks in the holes and said it looked like sputnik.
Okay... this deserves to be lifted from eBay!

Someone better contact the seller so they can update the description. ;)
Bass drum has extra holes, so it's a "player's kit" now. ;)
Since the S/N's on the bass drum are not consecutive, then the bass drum didn't come with the bass drum. Umm errr ... oh wait! Never mind. ;)
That is one sweet kit.

I had a Ludwig blue sparkle kit that had two badges on every drum. wow ! it was the only one in the Entire world like it, Oh wait that one has already been coined !!?? :)
Never was a fan of black color anything but black galaxy is real cool. Nice tubs!

the wrap looks too good, heads look too good and the story looks too good...
