    The toms are resonating even when not being played which is giving this Erie and ominous background tone almost like a bassist is playing while you’re shredding. Great playing and what great tuning

      ​@AaronHoller nice job bro. The mics dont pic up the bend of the tom sound but i know its there. Im a birch fan as well. I like how it makes a pure tone and gets out of the way for distinct sticking. With your style thats important. I play similarly. Props

    As a drummer myself I feel the need to tell you this:
    Amazing drumming. I've been watching a lot of videos about the SQ2 and I trully believe I may have found my dream kit. The sound is just incomparable to anything I've ever heard. It's just amazing. Your drumming makes it sing. You should be really proud of yourself. Amazing technique and great demonstration of what this kit is actually capable of. Very very good work man ❤️. Please NEVER stop drumming.

Love the detail in the Scandi birch veneer on the inside of the bass drum hoops but African Marble on the outside. Nice touch! I want to thank you for posting this and for the break down as to shell size and thickness as the more I listen the more it helps me decide on my choice of shell thickness for a birch SQ2 kit I'd like to order.

    The sound of heavy birch is nothing short of awe-inspiring. A thick shell with a deep fundamental note is so musical. Eames custom drums makes a kit very similar to that. If you already have quality hardware from an existing kit, then you can get a 6pc kit for under $2K.....which is a spectacular price for a custom handmade kit.

So I created this video to assist all in their search for what could be their sound. I'm excited to see your kit, do you mind sharing your SQ2 UPID? Did you get an estimate on its arrival yet?
