Is there a larger, color version of that image somewhere on your site that I'm not seeing? Does it screw with the left leg/knee at all to play the Crasher at that funky angle?

Hey Ramon,
here is the big picture.
The angle of the HiHat/Ribbon Crash looks crazy,and you know it is because of the 8 inch tom but i am used to it through the years.Sometimes i play my Hi Hat with my heel,when i want to cut it through a double bass pattern or something but most of the times i play it normally,same with the Ribbon crash.I had a third Bass drum a couple months ago working on some really cool beats but it sounded too Drum & Bass to use it on my songs......i loved it though.....

Wow, sweeeeet kit, I didn't know you had a remote pedal for the hats right!
BTW: you ride cimbal is oxidating! i cleaned "all" my cimbals last weekend and they sound better than there was some dust and rust on it.

I only clean my cymbals when something more than dirt and dust go on there, I think it gives the cymbal a cool sound... but when it gets that weird stain shit on it (oxidizing you call it?) then I clean it, because its fucking gross.
BTW: George is endorsed by Sabian anyways LOL

BTW: that's a whole new sabian concept (the oxidating thing) 
seriously, maybe the surface becomes more porous and thus slightly changes sound?

Well first of all, an oxidation proces is almost the same as rusting proces.
In case of cymbals, the discs contain mixes of sorts of metal. Many cimbals contain traces of bronze. When bronze "rusts", thus in that case oxidising (don't know if it's spelled right) it becomes green...
Actually every metal oxidates on its own, one faster than the other. If your cimbals are in a room that's kinda moist, but not a single drop of fluid touched your cimbals, then they still oxidate, because there is always a certain percent of "water" in the air.
When you rub bronze with steelwool it gets a gold colour. Try it, but not on cimbals *hint*
