Harmen's drumkit virtually complete

Ok so now all that's left to be done is to obtain a second 14" bottom hoop for my recently acquired floor tom tom. I'll purchase one more Fiberskyn for a head and relocate the emperor.

Last night I painted the Chief's head on to the front head of my old bass drum. This image featured on my old childhood tent when I was just 10 years of age. I've always loved the simplicity of it.















Here are some photos of my kit layout.













Drums:
Ludwig 24 inch Aero Kraft bass drum, calf skin heads, floating tension rods, vintage Japanese (speed king copy) pedal.
14" Yamaha Stage Custom snare, ambassador coated head.
14" vintage, maple shell, Olympic snare drum converted to a free standing tom tom, Fiberskyn head.
