Updates on my drum kit

So I've come to terms that my lousy kit I purchased off Ebay isn't that great, but since I don't have a lot of money, I can upgrade parts to make it sound and play pretty well. In the summer of 09, I purchased a new bass drum pedal. My DW 7000 lasted me many years and the parts started to bust and some of the nuts were stripped, so I picked up a Tama HP30 single pedal. I would have loved the Iron Cobra since a lot of drummers swear by that pedal, but this one was pretty affordable so it worked out for my budget.
Next upgrade was around the holidays. I was very fortunate to get some gift cards to Cascio Interstate Music (music store near my house) for Christmas. My family new all I wanted was to upgrade some things on the kit. So without hesitation, I picked up a new hi-hat stand. The one I've been using since day one of getting my kit back in 99 or 2000 was the original CB stand. That thing, lasted quite a while, but was kind of a pain since some of the parts that hold the hats were coming loose often. This stand is awesome. The clutch isn't really needed, but it's a good bonus feature.
Lastly, I picked up some great Remo pinstripe heads. I had the black pinstripe heads for quite some time, and they defiantly needed to be changed out. I went clear this time around, but am happy with my decision. I hope this year (but won't be for quite some time) to get some new hi-hats. Maybe some Sabian Xs20s. I've had B8 hats for too long. I've played 14 inch cymbals on other band's kits for a while now, and am not digging my current 13 inch ones. These will cost maybe 150 dollars so I'll have to wait a while. I'd like to change out my front bass drum head as well. Get one that's ported with nothing on it so I can paint something eventually.
