Welcome aboard. What are the specs of your drums? So you studied with Chris Maitland? He's a great drummer.

Nice kit, and nice cymbals. I thought that looked like an Orion. You like it, I assume? I recently bought a Saturn and love it.

I take it you prefer the sound of the Premier snare to the Orion snare? One would think that they would sound pretty similar. I mean, they're both maple, and I think they're both the same size, right? What do you like better about the Premier, if that is indeed the case? Just curious.
