Day 780 - New Hi Hats

I've almost got my kit together (to a comfortable 'resting' place). Today marks 26 months since I began studying drumming. For upgrades to the original starter kit - I chose to focus on Cymbals and Hardware (and snare drum). Very happy with the Sabian (Freq series) pack I got last year - but it was always on my mind to get a pair of 16" hats (and move the 14" Sabians to the auxiliary [open] position). The new 16's are Zildjian K 'Sweet' Hats.

​I adjusted the angle of the ride to get the quickest punch out of it (as a crash)... but I'm ready for a real crash cymbal in the open position. I'm awaiting a Zildjian K 'Sweet' 17" for this. About the hardware - I'm attempting to get two cymbals in the closed position and two in the open position... using only two cymbal stands.
