HAHAHAHAHA, Well, after spending what I did on them, I fight back the powers of grime and dullness with an iron fist......ok, so it's a swiffer duster, some polish, and lots of patience, but the other sounds cooler. lol

To Felix: When I saw the pics for your kit, it immediately took me back to my high school pep band days. My school had an old old set of Pearl Exports that looked almost identical to your set-up. 

I'm seriously debating on taking my set-up back to individual stands and selling the rack. I've been working with it for about 9 months now and I just can't myself comfortable with it. I've moved and repositioned just about every way possible with what I currently have and still nothing feels right.

The one thing I truly like about having the rack is being able to leave it set-up when hauling it in my trailor. Makes things so much easier going from gig to gig when you're already half way set-up from the get go. But I don't think that's going to be enough reason for me to keep it anymore.

Nice drum kit James.  I love that color. The snare looks GREAT TOO!!
