Looking great!! I have the 16" Gen16 crash and the 18" ride, so when I can carve out some time to get parts and all that, I'll start on the ride since it could be a different beast as well.
My main wonder was the durability, and how well everything will hold up, especially during live play, with transportation figured in there as well. I know, ultimately, screws would be a better long-term solution, but I agree with you on the aesthetics. I can handle it if everything's symmetrical, LOL. But you are at the mercy of where the trigger works best, and that doesn't always lend itself to symmetry.
I wanted to get started on this before now, but it's (finally!!) gig week once again, so most of my time has been spent just getting the kit ready. I've been tweaking module sounds and settings. I started a lighting project a few weeks ago, I've got a red LED strip on the underside of my snare. It's sound-activated, but with music going on, it just flashes constantly. I really want to find something that will react to hitting the drums, something I can turn off and on at will, only using it for certain parts of the night.
So many projects, so little time, LOL!
