here are more photos of his mahogony set.: quinto 11 tres golpe 11 3/4 tumba 12 3/4 super tumba 13 3/4..
this set belongs to jaisen torres, this lucky brother has everything from vergaras to islas & junior tirrados gonbops , skin on skins , sonocs etc.. but i tell you the sound on these for beastly drums shut everything else down....
check out the wood grade & grain, i swear these photos dont do enough for these drums when i seen them & played them & realized that im about to sell all my stuff i have now & order me a pair of these monsters , na mean.
