i just got my wiard borg 2 filter yesterday. it's a sallen key filter (low pass, band pass and high pass) - a kind of hybrid between the buchla low pass gate and the korg ms-20.

that completes my wiard 1200 series collection, which is great, as they are being phased out now to make way for new 300 series stuff.

grant richter makes the most amazingly well built and incredible sounding synth modules ever. they'll be the museum moog pieces of the future, i have no doubt.

i'm a very very happy customer

Ooh! Congrats on the old-school Slingerland! I thought long and hard about buying and modding a concert-tom set. The price point on those things are totally hot. In the end though I decided to track down the piece I needed to complete my half-set.

You know, if you mod those drums it's guaranteed that 15 years from now the concert-tom sets will be worth millions and everyone will be like, "why the hell'd you do that?" The only way to ensure that this doesn't happen is to leave them like they are, in which case they'll never catch on and 15 years from now everyone'll be like, "why didn't you ever mod those things?"

Still... when I had my original set of Slings I cut the bottom heads out and they sounded huge. Then, once I got good at tuning drums, I put the heads back on and they still sounded huge, only it was a more nuanced huge. Are your drums maple or mahogany?

Thanks.....

By looking at the shells, I'm having a hard time wondering if they are maple or mahogany, but my guess would be the latter. They are 3 ply shells, which is great because from past experience, the thinner the shell, the louder they are with more tone.

Right now I'm leaning more towards leaving them alone, considering I have two other drums kits.

I'm mainly a Ludwig guy, but for the price, I couldn't pass on these things.

They do sound huge and loud....no doubt, but I would like to hear a little more decay/tone in the toms.

I'm not going to do anything until I mic them up and see how they sound recorded.

The bass drum is phenomenal.

-Senn E602 (after reading the raves here)

-a pair of CAD Equitek E70 SDC's. I've got them placed as a xy pair for drum OH. Can't wait to see how they compare to MK012's.

A Choptigan (a chopped optigan to make it a bit more practical) that should replace my busted *ss Optigan that has NEVER truely worked right.

A Zvex Ringtone for more guitar insanity.

An SIB echodrive+. I was hurtin' for a good delay for the pedal board. Not too dark, not too sterile, not too noisy, no a2d/d2a on the dry signal. This does it, and sounds beautifully swampy. Closest thing to tape delay in a pedal I've heard yet.
