Well, it's all done. I covered the drums with snakeskin tolex. Tolex is the vinyl material that is used to cover amplifier cabinets. I was concerned that it would inhibit the tone of the shells, but they don't sound any different to me. I'm using a tom stand for now. Eventually I'll get some more leg mounts and hang them from the shell.

Future enhancements I'm contemplating include a ride/crash cymbal and a remote high hat. I'm not too happy with the little splash cymbals I'm using for the closed high hat. I played a ride /crash at Rhythm Traders in Portland that was awesome. As soon as I have enough pennies saved up I'll go get it.
