After playing for 26 years, I sold my set. Now 3 year later, I'm itching to play again and will be going with 5 piece DW and Paiste cymbals. Old kit was a 5 piece Tama Rockstar that sounded ok with brand new heads and a fresh tuning but always fell out of tune after a few practice sessions.
Man I'm ready to play again!
