Other notes: Sakura may have had other sizes but these are the only ones he has mentioned. Also, with this series it seems the tom arms would mount directly into the toms, but Sakura was using Gauger RIMS mounts. Finally, you'll notice that these drums feature those hideous drum spanning lugs.

Pictures of this set are very difficult to come by as Sakura replaced it with his Pearl FX set very quickly. It has not been seen or heard from since! These pictures all come from the CLOSE BY DUNE tour.

Sakura only used this set on the CLOSE BY DUNE tour. You can see he used RIMS mounts for the toms. He also frequently had 3 splashes set up in front of his rack toms. RIMS were used even on the hanging toms. In this grainy screenshot from near the end of the tour, quarter toms are set up by his rack toms as well.
