Let's see your set and/or videos!
I bought the set new four or five years ago. It's been fun and handled me very well. The cymbals are a throw-together from older sets and donations from friends. The Taye double kick is one of my favorite pieces on the set.
I use ear protection as everyone should when I play. I've come across these dampeners with headphones included so I can play along with the music. They're pretty good, but the volume on the headphones is a little low. I have to turn the Zune all the way up for some albums to be audible.
I don't have any videos, sorry.
