Beautiful system, and interesting setup. It looks like you have given the speakers some space behind them. Are they actualley toed out, or firing straight ahead?

Congrats on the kit! I agree on the V-Drums. Because all of the members of our rack band have small children, they have proven to be an indispensable practice tool, while allowing everyone involved...

A Simple System
