Wow, snare and the first Tom sound absolutely perfect. The wood hoops produce such a clean sound. I would love to know where I can hear that set up with one more Tom, a wider and more narrow floor Tom, and 22 by 18 kick. Would be a very amazing rock kit. I'm having a hard time finding audio of a Craviotto set up for rock.
On Craviotto kits an ideal rock kit can be the old standard sizes such as 9x13, 16x16, 14x22. Reason: The tuning range is so wide and the sound is so full, that player's can literally buy down a size. A 14x22 covers the bases from the range of a 20 up to a 24, and the 14" depth is sufficient given the solid shells. The added advantage of the 14" depth is that the bass drum responds much faster than with an 18" depth. This gives you all the depth you need and also makes your job easier since you are not pushing that 18" long column of air. Check out some of the samples we did with 13/16/22. Especially ones with the rounded BB "baseball bat" edges that fatten up the sound even more. Steve
Wow, one of my favorite bop samples out Maxwells thus far. Beautiful range. I thought Craviotto's 18s" sounded like a typical 20" and this 16" sound more on par w/ a typical 18" (to my ear based on a internet audio file).
Thanks Stephen. You hit it on the mark about the range of these drums. That 16 easily sounds like an 18 so the benefit is two-fold: 1) very compact for travel and set up, and 2) Much less expensive than an 18. Lots to like here. Steve
MAGNIFICIENT SOUND ALL AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!

@@stevemaxwelldrums Where is the disadvantage of the full roundover bearing edge? I didn't notice any of them.
hi-energy-mr-maxwell, nice!
Is this the Satin Oil or Gloss Lacquer finish?
