I bought this recoated 70' Pearl Wood-Fiberglass for 2800DKr (about 375€), the original coating (white pearl) is covered with a thin black coating, and according to the previous owner it didn't look good, so I might considering giving it a real recoating but for now I just enjoy playing it.

The shells are 22", 13", 16" and 18" and it's the first 18" floortom I have ever owned in all my years of playing drums. There is no basdrum port and no dampener of any kind, so it's a bit more boomy than I'm used to, the whole kit just sounds remarkable louder than my other kits, my husband even thought that I had forgotten to close the door to my practice-room when I tried it the first time.

I wanted to make a recording, but it's harvest season around here and there is a constant rumble of heavy machinery spoiling it every time I try to record. I plan to use and old BM3 ribbon microphone as natural reverb, by placing it on top of the stairwell to the second floor, hoping to recreate John Bonhams sound on "when the levee breaks".

I know that there are a lot of these around, but I rarly see one with a 18" floortom, plus all hardware is polished and in mint condition, even had brand new heads (top and botom) on all shells, so I feel like I made a good deal.
