My Swingstar is set-up almost the same as the one above except my ride is a little higher. I'll get pics up when I can.

what head do you have on your snare?? <br> <br> Both my snare are fitted with texture coated, my piccolo (aux. snare) has the powerdot. Great head, I'm going to try thin modern vintage for my matched snare though. <br>

looks great, did you put a finish on the shell? if not, then you should clear coat it.

I'll maybe do the same but in couple of years and leave the kit to it natural teint and put just some clear gloss.<br> <br> You have done a good job though. Did you remove the vent/badge gromet ?<br>

But on the bright side, i can buy any color tom off ebay, cause ill be taking the wrap off anyway!</P>

Those drums look really nice,,you have done a good job and you should be proud. It is not easy taking badges off regardless if your 13 or 54. When I was 13 I could not walk or talk yet,,just started feeding myself at 12,,,,,,,, Good job dude<IMG src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0">
