Sweet kit! I must say I'm suprised that you went with a 14 & 16 for floor toms. Usually you see a 16 & 18 with a 26" kick!
Cymbals specs please? And is that an SSC kit?

I'll have better more detailed pics up later today. But to answer your questions...
DW gets a LOT of boom out of their toms. I was nervous at first but now am thrilled that I went with 14 & 16 inch toms. They sound INCREDIBLE. Very deep. Also easier to carry due to a slightly smaller size. They also make the 26" kick look even bigger.
It was a custom ordered Collectors series maple kit. I placed the order in late July and got it 09/30/11. It came out even better than I thought it would. The phone pic I published doesn't really do it justice. The 13" rack tom is a VLT, 14" floor is a X, 16" floor is a VLX, and the bass is standard.
My cymbals are all Zildjian: 14" A Mastersound hi-hats, 20" A ping ride, 18" A projection crash, 16" & 18" Z Custom Crashes (not pictured yet). I'm picking up stands for them today. The snare is a Tama 6.5x13" Metalworks in brushed nickel and it sounds GREAT!
More pics to come soon... and THANKS!!!

Got to love the black hardware on white. I am a little biased. 
Very fresh looking.

That black nickel hardware is phenomenal! It also matches very well between the DW kit and the Tama snare.
