 Epiarch Custom Drums
Has anyone ever played on one of these? Their snare prices are sick...

Yup, I owned one for a while. It wasn't my main kit and I almost literally never played, but was a beautiful sounding (and looking) kit. I can't comment on their snares, as I only had the 4 toms and a kick. Got a great deal on it, but I had a horrible time reselling it because no one knew who Epiarch was; I lost $900 on a set I used twice. Here's a shot of the one I owned.

I was using a Star Classic maple and I always just preferred it to the Epiarch. I couldn't justify hanging on to a kit I was never going to use.

their pricing's pretty good compared with a lot of boutique drum companies.

i've looked around the eiparch site a few times, and if i were to buy a custom set they would be one of my considerations (actually, before i knew timekeep and after conaway went down they were my first choice). they make some great looking drums...not so much flashy but just a nice finish that everyone can appreciate.

timekeep, do you do the same "fancy" things to your bearing edges that the epiarch guys are claiming? i've shot them some emails before about their edges and what they do seems pretty smart.

It depends on what sound you're looking for.
Double 45s are good for easy tuning but have more ring.
round over gives the drum a warmer more vintage sound.
Then there's 30 degree, 60 degree, and you can also mix them. I've done a 45 inner with a roundover outer.

It means one side (probably the inner edge) is cut at 30 degrees and the other side has a roundover cut.
