"As for my MR (now MMX) set, from when I was without a band until I returned with ZIGZO, to celebrate my comeback I had them make this for me. Though there aren't any points I was picky about, and though the time I used it was a bit short, because it's a symbol of congratulations I am quite fond of it as you can imagine. As for the sound, it's natural. While it only lessened my complaints with my Marine Pearl MR drumset I'd been using up until then, it really gives off a great sound."
