Stewart,

I know what you mean. My 10" concertcast toms are more than 
serviceable, and take up about as much room as I can afford at the 
moment, but they don't have that . . . well, visual appeal. Our 18th 
C house is still a work in progress, but when we add a couple of 
rooms to it within the next year or so, I'd like to score a Visual as 
well. However, I have my eye on Brian's bubinga kit. I'm hoping that 
he can run it through a copy machine, or he finds another one in the 
Pintech closet that needs a home.
