I play a RMV kit with bapeva shells. Bapeva is a dense Brazilian maple, and the sound from the thinner, denser shell is nothing short of amazing. The snare has a punchy crack with little or no overtone, while the bass is a solid thump - it even sounds good unmuffled. Toms are bright and cutting, and offer good tuning flexibility. Heads are Evans batters with the supplied Remo resos. Kit's comprised of a 22x18 bass, 14x5 snare, 8, 10 12 rack toms, 14 suspended floor and 16 standard floor toms. The hardware is anodized black, and the nutboxes are carbon fibre over metal. I got it for a song as they were being promoted by the Italian importer at the time! No photos available yet
