I was very lucky to find a new, yes a NEW! 22"×16" Tama Artstar II Bird's Eye Maple bass drum to my kit. This beauty waited for me in a warehouse in Spain for more than 30 years.
Added a 16” floor tom to the set, so here is a video about the current kit, hope you like it.
Video made with a phone, but with headphones I think you can pick out the perfect sound of this beautiful drum. 😊
