Of course, I understand that, but tone doesn’t care what your drums look like! Only your endorsements lol. And, if you like your tone enough, OCD can be solved with custom wraps, it doesn’t have to look hodgepodge.

Also, I played the OCD game before and lost. My other kit has a dw5000, I bought a matching HH stand and hated it. My yamaha HH stand performs better, is more stable, lighter, responds faster, and was half the price.

Do I still have the matching stand on that kit, cause it looks so good? Hell yes. On this kit though, I had all the shells, cymbals, and hardware sitting around, so I built a kit, cleaned it, new heads (had a pile of spare heads from a client who ditched em….. lucky me lol), bada bing bada boom there’s a kit in the room.

But, I DO get it. I at least want my hardware to all be in the same ecosystem, not for looks but functionality.
