Awesome collection, though I'm not really digging the finish on the Red Monster. Sorry!

How's that Koa/Bubinga snare?

And your band's great!

 

[desdinova]

Tanx bro...well of all the snares...the bubinga is above all..it has that crack and power...and the bell brass snarewire i guess brings out abit more of its character...
