My brother received his set of Matthew Smiths Ritmo Drums a few weeks ago and had to let the heads dry out a bit due to the constant rain in his area. All he can say is "SWEET"!! They are Oak Drums and he said they project in sound. I'll let him answer your burning questions that you want to post. He'll reply and give you the blow by blow low down on 'um.... :p
Gorgeous!!! BTW, I'm just outside Philly, and I know Matthew is in PA. Somebody have a website or contact for him? Not that I could afford such incredible tubs, but I can dream.
indeed they are true beauties. sad thing we dont have them on the market here. would be an attempting thing. skins look like really good ones too. true, rims are very high. maybe they come down a bit when propperly tuned? have to admit i am a coward playing rims that high on stage.
lots of fun with the tubes

ps: by the way...what are the differences from those mathew smith to the junior tirados?
