I'll start by saying that i have personally owned (& still own 7 kits & 25 snare drums)over 30 kits from vintage rogers to slieshmans,& ran a drum shop which gave me access to everything. i never really completely enjoyed these drums. I found the signias The most time consuming drums to tune & the sweet spot was too small. When they where 'on song' they where georgeous,but never a gig went by that they would drop out of tune alarmingly quickly. No matter what heads i ran. The hardware is too heavy & doesnt have the functionalbility of tama or yamaha gear. the rims rust noticebly, the top snare rim in particular is the worst designed ive ever seen,awkward, chocked the drum & gave the worst feedback on rimshots. The shells are good though & i did enjoy these drums in studio,but way too heavy & single minded for gigging. When i purchased them I REALLY wanted to love them,tried everything to make me love them,but Glad to see them gone now
