EVEN NICE WITHOUT ME, View full size image

EVEN NICE WITHOUT ME,

EVEN NICE WITHOUT ME, ATOMIC THUNDER IN ,13 14 16 AND 18 WITH A NICE 24X20DEEP KICK AAAAAAH,ATOMIC RAIN ! THANK YOU AGINE RAMANO, AND I NOW GLOW IN THE DARK , ITS KINDA COOL....... this was as i understand it through the big cheese, the first 13x7 1/2 ,prototype of the moondust acrylic developed by the mad hatter himself. upon opening the box, i was conected to the new flavor. clear , but not clear, perfect , plays with lighting in a room like a shatterd diamond on a mirror floor. that works.RAMANO had told me how much he was looking foward to making a whole kit, and that was all i needed to hear, after all what are friends for ? right ! so i got the first one of those ever made as well. sizes are as follows, 24x20, 10x7, 13x7 1/2 ,14x12, 16x14 and the snare in the pic. the very first 9mm acrylic set, 50/50 off set rci luggs,black hardwear/ coke btl, 22x20 ,13x9 ,14x12 ,16x14, and a 14x8 snare.the smallest of all my kick drums .aint it so cute.

BECAUSE THE  SNARE IS VENTED IN 3 SPOTS AROUND THE DRUM, IS ONLY 13 in AND HAS DIE CAST HOOPS IT IS TIGHT,BRIGHT AND  FULL OF CRACK, ENOUGH TO START A  BAD LITTLE HOOD. AND CUTS THROUGH EVERYTHING. SOUNDMEN HATE IT......I LOVE IT !!!!!!! AT THE TIME OF MY ENDORSMENT , THE LARGEST PLAYERS KICK DRUM RCI WAS MAKING WERE THE STANDARD 26X14 OR 16. MY FIRST RCI SET ARE THESE SICK CANNONS I PUT UP TO ANY THING ON THE MARKET TO THIS DAY.MY FIRST REQUEST WAS A 26X22 DEEP KICK, MY DREAM SIZE OH GLORY B GOD , MOVE OVER TOMMY. SOTHE RAM HAD TO MAKE A NEW WAY TO COME UP WITH SOMTHING THAT SIZE , AND HE DID WITHOUT  ???? . I OPEND THAT DOOR FOR THEM AT THE TIME, AND  I HAVE NEVER STOPPED ASKING FOR CRAZY SHT ! AND RCI KEEPS ON GIVING IT TO ME....AS YOU ALL KNOW ,RCI HAS SINCE MADE PLAYERS KICKS FOR VARIOUS ARTIST, YA , TOMMY LEE ...BUT I REALY USE MINE AND IT DOSNT NEED TRiGGERS TO SOUND LIKE IT LOOKS. A GREAT PLAYERS DRUM....10X8 ,12X10,14X14, 16X16 AND A CUSTOM VENTED  13X6 1/2 SNARE MMMM

hello and welcome to my profile.Iam STEVE SMITH, and my blood flows red acrylic .I am proud to be one of RCIs very first endorsment artist. Iam the drummer and founder of the rock band RESIN, over the past few years since the birth of this project i have been lucky enough to have been exposed to many bands both in and around the MA, RI,CT . As a player and promo magnet i am more than stoked to chat with anyone about my superior drums, to open somones ears and eyes ,to forget what they think,they know about drums and expose your palet to yet another way of playing.to play acrylic is truly another animal in its feel and sound. I have had to teach people to tune acrylic because they have been trained to hear somthing else.Iam happy to be responsable for more than a handfull of the names and faces you see on this website everyday,puddle of muds MOKE BISTANY, TODD SMITH, STEVE KILROY, BILL RICE just to name a few. I know own 3 or 4 crazy custom RCIkits each unique in its voice and apperance. To have been able to be apart of this from such an early stage ,and to watch the company grow, to see more and more of you climming abored this train ,is only a catylist for my belifes on these amazing works of functional art. As i see new faces here every day from all ovev the world, i feel as if my own family is growing . It is a blessing to come to know some of you on a more personal levle and i hope all of you continue to spred the word to the poor less fortunete drummers out thier who havent gotten exposed to the posabilitys of anything but a wooden drum. we have so much work to do...now its your job to...peace...MYSPACE/RESINBAND. CHEK IT OUT /////////////////////////////////////////// ROCKSTAR RED / CUSTOM SET/OLD BADGES 26X22 KICK, 10X8, 12X10, 14X14 16X14 AND A 13X6 1/2 VENTED,PATERN SNARE, IN SMOKE AND RED. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 9MM COKE BOTTLE W/ BLACK RCI LUGS, 50% OFF SET BLK CHROME HOOPS :22X20 KICK,13X9, 14X12, 16 x14 AND A 14X8 SNARE ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// MOONDUST SPARKLE W/ BLACK BOMB LUGS 50% OFF SET BLK CHROME HOOPS, 24X20 KICK 10X61/2 13X7,14X12, 16X14 AND A 13X7 SNARE, //////////////////////////////////////// ATOMIC BOMB SERIES FLOR,ORANGE W/ BLACK ATOMIC INCERTS, BLACK BOMB LUGS N HOOPS....KICK IS 24X20, 13X11, 14X12, 16X16 AND 18X16, .............. /////////// 9mm clear,13x61/2 deep atomic lugs,black, w/ black hoops

JAN, 9 AT LUPOS HEARTBREAK HOTEL, W/ TILL WE DIE ,ANGER RISIN, CRIMSON BILE ,AND SOME OF THE AREAS ,HARDEST AND HEAVYEST ARE ON THE BILL FOR THIS DAY. ...AND THEN THIER IS US !!!

EVERY TIME I PLAY MY RCI DRUMS IN PUBLIC, I AM APPROACHED BY DRUMMERS AND SPECTATORES ALIKE WITH COMPLEMENTS AND QUESTIONS. AS A ENDORSEE I FEEL IT IS MY PLACE TO BE EXITED ABOUT WHAT I USE ON STAGE AND THIS IS CONTAGOUSE, THAT IS A FACT, MORE TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER, JUST TELLING A DRUMMER MY VIEWS AND FEELINGS ON ACRYLICS OVER WOOD, THEY BUY OUR DRUMS!!!! JUST TALK TO EVERYONE WHO ASKS YOU, BE YOURSELF, OPEN UP YOUR MOUTH AND MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL LISTEN. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A SALESMAN TO SELL THESE DRUMS, THEY WILL DO THAT FOR THEMSEVES, BUT YOU CAN PLANT THE SEED THAT GROWS....RCI BELIEVES IN YOU, NOW LET EVERY ONE KNOW YOU BELIEVE IN THEM .

Hey Steve,
Hoping to make it out for the CONN Drum Show to hook up with You, Ramono, Gonz & JC.
Since you are so wealthy, you could send one of your private jets to pick me up and put me up in one of your 46 room mansions.??
That sounds good to me.
As far as your $19.95 offer, sounds good....
but have all that, except for the sex part.
I am married, so that means sex is a gift, not a given.
If you are not married, you will find that out after 5-6 years after you get married.
You kick ass my friend, keep rockin',
Steve

I HAVENT BUILT IT YET, NO MAN EVERY KIT IS SET UP FOR DIFFERANT MOOD, STYLES AND ROOMS. IF I GOT A HUGE GIG I GO BIG, AND IF WE ARE IN AND OUT OF A PLACE OR I GOT OTHER DRUMMERS HITTING MY SHT , THEN ITS THE GREEN MONSTER. SO, I CANT SAY, I LIKE ONE MORE THAN THE OTHER, ITS LIKE , PICKING YOUR FAVORITE CHILDE OUT OF YOUR OWN KIDS...ALL RCI DRUMS ARE MY FAVORITE ! AND WELL IT MAY JUST BE THE ONE I HAVENT GOTTEN TO YET...I LOVE ALL MY SETS, I KNOW THATS NOT A ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, BUT I COULD NO MORE PICK ONE OVER ANOTHER, THAN I COULD HAVE JUST ONE KT. I GET BOARED PLAYING THE SAME SET ALL THE TIME, LOVE DRUMMERS ASKING ME AFTER A SHOW, "DIDNT YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT KIT LAST TIME I SAW YOU ?" YA, YA I DID. AND I MIGHT EVEN HAVE ANOTHER THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE ME..WITH TOURING COMMING INTO PLAY HOW EVER, I MAY HAVE TO JUST BRING ONE, OR 2

Steve, I understand that you are having problems with breaking cymbals.. You should contact your local Public Utilities Office and see if they have any spare Manhole covers that you can use as cymbals :) Rock and Roll! Gonz
