Nice kit. Unique lug design. Very cool.
I’d rather be told the ugly truth than handed a pretty lie.

Excellent .....Thank you for the compliment. The lugs are one of a kind Jesse is a architect and designed this lug him self.My set had the first lugs made from Jesse's design.In my 43 yrs playing drums I never thought I would ever go to a custom drum set from the mainstream drum manufactures.I started playing custom drums in 2007 and I really like them alot.I went to Anaheim Calif winter Namm 2008 and met Jesse the owner and drum builder from Epiarch custom drums before I quit playing DW to go with Epiarch.I am taken care of very well.

Thanks I might be moving to Flowery Branch Georgia next yr.The Light house Boys play big venues that hold upwards to 20,000 plus at times as well.We played 2 small churches last month and I did have to play a lot softer.I have been a rock drummer all my life all genrea's and back to Coutry style the last few months.
I would like to have a hi end kit of E drums as well that way I can have the best of both drum types A & E so to speak.

Yeah I completely agree. Really nice set. Some people take custom drums too far by getting insane finishes and rediculous spikes and obnoxious everything, while it's cool to look at, the sound is way more important. Some drummers I've seen have 20 cymbals yet don't even use half of them. I have 5 and still getting 4 or 5 more for my acoustic because I am always fiending more, lol.
But yeah a real nice set of acoustics and electric is the best way to go. I've got an almost fully maxed out TD-20 for recording/practice and for shows I play my PDP Platinum Series kit.
