I finally got my new Cocobolo stave kit finished and wanted to show
you guys the photos. I spent about an hour playing it and man it
sounds great. I just love how well the stave shells react at super low
volumes. You still get a full tone if you barely touch the drum, yet
they don't seem to ever choke if you whack the piss out of them! :-)
It does sound very similar to my Bubinga kit I had in the same sizes,
but I just love the look of Cocobolo and they sound amazing. I'll get
photos of the Macassar Ebony snare tomorrow. I'm waiting for my throws
and butts, but seeing that I don't use my wires 95% of the time, it's
not a big deal. These shells really colored up beautifully after
getting the lacquer on them.

Cool! Good to see you post again, Rob.

My kit these days is a hodge-podge of Sonor Phonic, Sonor Sonic Plus,
Hard Bop, and WFL. 8x12 Phonic, 12x14 Sonic Plus, Hard Bop 7x13
Bubinga Stave snare, 12x17 (!) WFL mahogany interior bass with factory
mini-wood hoops (really a pipe drum, I think), and sometimes a WFL
8x15 mahogany interior snare. :) I still bring out the Ludwig LM-402
SupraPhonic sometimes, though...

Hey Rob,

Those are beautiful faggot drums. I love the color but they just won't
go well in my Kiss Tribute gig. Besides, I notice the toms all have
bottom heads and I don't have the brainpower to tune drums like that.
I prefer tacked on heads that I don't have to think about. I'm waiting
for my "throws and butts" too! Oh Wait! You are talking about snare
hardware! Never mind!

Signed "Hoser".

Seriously, very nice!
