I use this model for about 8 / 10 years
it sounds hard, but still easy enough slap calm (very quietly impressive inside)
cc as I play with either free floating pearl 6.5 / sonor 2000 / brass or over, it depends where you play really.

as its name indicates it is over a 1.2 mm brass so a + brass chrome finish, and voila around and jou.
when the price is better to find secondhand becaufe new ..... it was found around 500 euros and 800 in the United States t. ..
the acquisition of this model was done in the sweetness: the DC + + 2 feet Avedis China tama boom, and all for 800 francs ago 8 / 10 years, I do not have much to say really.

Aesthetically, the, it gets stuck, because for a cc brass, it really is the head of a steel DC 50 euros.
I wonder if I'm not going to blow up the chrome and go for the brass-colored original, it would be at least as unique finish.
but I'm very afraid of my stupidity so ...

what the price, yes, I would do the purchase.

There are better cheaper now focus gentlemen drummers, a beautiful face does not sound ....
ps: I do not know the difference between the two models 8 and 10 ties.
