These drums are perfect with no scratches or blemishes anywhere. These are phenomenal looking/sounding drums. The 14″x24″ kick is a BEAST! I wanted to eventually add a matching 10″ rack tom, and “14×14 floor tom, but I waited too long to order them and this colorway was no longer available. This kit deserves to be played. Ronn is a dear friend so this pains me to part with these. I have had an association with Evans drumheads for many years. The bass drum logo-head is the original Dunnett Reso-Tone variety. The batter side is an Evans EQ-4 Clear with Evans EQ pillows touching both heads, and a 4 Holz port. The toms on the resonant side are equipped with clear Resonant heads. The 12″ & 13″ toms are equipped with original satin finish Gary Gauger R. No longer available to order, but the best! , as well as DW TB-12 Tom mounting brackets. DW 9900 heavy-duty double-tom stand included. The G-Way curved bass drum spurs and floor-tom legs are included. One of the photos shows cymbals, snare drum, and additional hardware. These items are NOT included; the listing has that photo to show you my typical setup, and what is possible. The bass drum is undrilled for a double tom mount. If you play with two toms over the bass drum, there are many options for doing so with a DW L-rod tom-clamp attached to an existing cymbal stand or simply use a second tom-stand.
