Sakura first used this set for the FEEL OF DUNE tour and went on to record Tierra with it. He often set up four rack toms, all mounted with upside down RIMS! Although used for recording Tierra, the set was replaced by its tour, Sense of Time 94. The setup frequently changed depending on the venue. Even the floor toms were hung on RIMS mounts, but they each required 2! The bass drum was used once again for the in CLUB 95 tour, although Sakura was using roto toms by this point. Sakura said he chose to use the bass drum since it would tune up easier and faster than a wood drum in the humid season of the tour.
