What's up folk - on yesterday (07.14.06), I acquired a Sabian HHX Evolution Mini China (14" - brilliant finish) for a really good price - I got rid of the 18" Zildjian A Custom China.
I took a few photographs of it, and I wanted to share them with you. I was also clowin' with the camera this morning, and took a few updated shots of my drumset and rig. Here are the links:

Yeah, I remember seeing one on your kit through your website. I love it. It's really nice and punchy - it speaks its mind, then gets out of the way! ;D
It's a Pearl Masters MMX (#151 - Platinum Mist) - 10"x8", 12"x9" and 14"x11" with an 18"x22" bass drum.
Here is a listing of the cymbals that I own and use (all are in brilliant finish):
Sabian 7" Mike Portnoy Max Splash
Sabian 10" HHX Evolution Splash
Zildjian 12" A Custom Mastersound Hi-Hats
Sabian 13" AAX Fusion Hats
Sabian 14" HHX Evolution Mini China
Sabian 16" Hand Hammered Dark Crash
Sabian 17" AAXPlosion Crash
Sabian 18" Hand Hammered Dark Crash
Sabian 18" HHX Ozone Crash
Sabian 18" Vault Crash
Sabian 21" Hand Hammered Raw Bell Dry Ride
Snare drums
5"x14" Virgil Donati Signature Snare Drum (4 plies of Maple and 4 plies of Birch) - made by Pearl
6"x14" G Maple (13 plies of Maple) - made by Tama Starclassic
7"x13" Akira Jimbo Signature Snare Drum (8 plies of Beech) - made by Yamaha

Yes, you're right - the going rate is approximately 179.99. I got it for $50.06. I traded in my 18" Zildjian A Custom China for that. I keep my things in mint condition, so they gave me a really good trade credit for it.
Thank you so much for the props, man! I love my Trick, too (*lol*)!!! :o

Nice. Real Nice. love the pearls...
Thanks, bro! I was havin' a little fun with the camera, and wanted you all to check out my skills! ;D

I do play them (daily, at that) - ask S.K.! I just don't put my hands on them. I clean them as needed, which isn't often (no hands, remember?). ;D

Motorolas are just a pretty face and nothing more. I've had my 'Berry since October of 2005. I love it. It's worth it. I am thinking of getting the 8700 series soon. That's how much I like it. T
T-Mobile power! ;D
