"Beautiful sounding set"
This may well be the best sounding set I've ever heard for the money or otherwise. I tune drums professionally and I have tuned and heard some pretty impressive sounding sets like DW Collectors series, Ludwig Legacy's, Pearl Masterworks, etc. and I would easily rank the sound I get from my Catalina Birch set right up there with any of those costing 3 to 4 times as much. A better than great value!
Musical Background:
I have been playing drums for 37 years, performing for 36 years and teaching them for 31 years.
Musical Style:
Swing Jazz, Rock, Country, Pop, and Blues for openers.
