It's very hard to see with all the chrome against chrome, but there are TWO Set-O-Matic tom holders here. A double holder is facing away, and a single is facing the camera.

The Slingerland black and silver badge. Slingerland has always had a knack for understated badges.

Here's how they look, right out of the box. Notice no resonant (bottom) heads on ANY of the drums.

A shot from the "driver's seat." That 12" tom is a WAYS away. Also not the paper towel taped to the tom to kill overtones. Well, to kill ALL tone, really.

Here's me behind the kit, now all gussied up. I went through quite a bit of chrome polish! The bottom rim on the 12" isn't a Stick Saver hoop. I bought one, but it didn't arrive in time. Three toms on one bass? Why not? It's the '70s!

As Patrick "Trick Bag" Rowling commented on this photo: "Is there a drummer behind this set of Slingerland Avantes?"
