My birthday was Thursday, the 12th. My brother totally shocked me and bought me a drumset! Its a Gretsch Catalina Club set, which sounds absolutely awesome! I’ve never played a drumset that had such good tone. Its a simple 4 piece set (1 rack tom, 1 floor tom, bass drum, and a snare). I also got a decent set of Symbian cymbals (B8 series) which sound crisp and solid. The rest of the hardware came as a kit from PDP, it seemed pretty solid, and so far is holding up nicely.

This is definitely a fun kit, I am really excited because it seems our studio is basically completed now with the inclusion of this element! I am hoping this summer is going to be musical. It better be now! Now we’ve just got to figure out the best way to mic/record the set. Oh, and I should get a cowbell too :)
