Vern, Since the photos of my Halloween stuff is off-topic here in the drum forum, I will put together collection of my 2001 and 2002 setups and email them directly to you early next week. If a general interest by others here develop, maybe you could setup a temp subfolder on dtxpression site for "seasonal activities".
