They're both very clean examples.This is the one I've been looking at. 14" rack tom.
That champagne sparkle is stunning.

I will only be buying heads, drum sticks, and guitar strings. I have all the drums, cymbals, and hardware I need. Peace and goodwill.
Kev & Martin @ Rattle & Drum are top blokes!
It's such a temptation when a truly awesome kit presents itself as "available"...
Just after I'd ordered my British Drum Company "Legend" kit from them in early 2023, they had taken in a DW Collectors kit in Rose Copper, in sizes I like. I was SOOO tempted, using advanced "Man Maths" to justify my lust.
Fortunately, I managed to talk myself out of it. I use the word "Fortunately" because I still have my "Gentlemen's Dangly Bits" that Her Ladyship would probably have severed with some rusty scissors....

"..of how repetitive it sounded"
Exactly yes.
@harryconway
2 crashes for alternative music from the 90s seems like a mandatory, I only have one, super low pitched jazz crash, super for jazz, sucks for alternative.

"I try to exhaust every idea of everything I already own before I look into buying a new "thing."
That's cool, another paradigm of thought, accepting to play literally something else on the instrument without being disappointed.

"Sometimes you just have to buy something to figure out what it's all about"
I noticed that, i guess drumming it's a game of buying and selling stuff. (Or collecting)

I like that (;

I'm a little older than that. Ringo's rooftop kit. And then later, John Bonham. As soon as I could afford a second crash, I bought one.

They pay for themselves through gigging and pay for holidays has always been my tried and trusted excuse with the chairman of the board
I have to remind myself that I'd only be able to use them a handful of times in a year at outdoor gigs and I've already got a nice old Ludwig. My man maths has been working overtime, considering part ex the lot.
Had a few things from Rattle and Drum over the years. Only ever been in the store once back in 2009 when by mate was at Uni in Derby. Great music store!
