Re: Show us your sets.
Close Tomk 8 10 12 13 14 16 18 22 22. You could make 2 sets outta these. 8 10 12 16 22 for fusion or 12 13 14 16 18 22 for a classic set up. I think its more like a white satin than silver.
I dont like the way they were set up or the way Ive seen these set up. I dont like reaching and having them way up high and towards the front onna set. I like em close n tight to the snare. Everything is off the snare on the sets I play, the closer the better.
I think I did good on this set for 6 beans. Its a players set and is what I wanted. With a lil help could be a collectors set.
Theres even original XP8 heads on the front 22's tho ones got a hole cut into it. The rest of the pinstrips are lightly used and sound good too. So Im good for awhile.
I'd love to throw hydro heads on em all. I love bottom end and these have it. No mufflers on any, jus those clip ons he gave me. The hydrolics will solve both problems sustain/ringing and wet fat bottom end. Aint cheap tho 210 bux! OUCH!

Re: Show us your sets.
Yes, the XP8s did not have mufflers, but came standard with the clip ons.
Wow. 6 beans for all that. It doesn't get much better than this...

Re: Show us your sets.
Its a great set in a lovely color. Before I downsized to my current one up two down set, and before my second bass drum finally gave up the ghost..... I had twin 24s, 8-10-12-13-14-15 with 16 and 18 floor toms. The 8-10-12 on the left above the hats, and 13-14-15 across the front. Big beautiful set that never went anywhere.

Yeah, it's hard to pack something like that without a paid assistant and a big van!

Beautiful, Rogers-o. Simply beautiful!

Re: Show us your sets.
I was pondering why all the lables are inverted. I think I know why now. This must be a lefty set.

Re: Show us your sets.
Labels inverted? How so? Your pics don't show labels. They are concert toms, so they can't be upside down. I'm confused...

Re: Show us your sets.
If the toms went from right to left vrs left to right by smallest to largest, they would prolly be correct.

Re: Show us your sets.
Okay, so these aren't XP8s. I thought they were. The XP8s have the labels facing opposite the mount. The earlier 5 plies have the badge to either left or right of the mount, depending on whether Tom, Dick or Harry was assembling them that day. If you ordered a full set, you might get lucky and have matching labels facing out.
See the interview with John C in the Fullerton section.
