| My Impact concert tom kit as seen in Weird Al's "Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies" video from 1989. The fiberglass shells were a cutaway type design that gave them almost a square look from the front. People also mistook these for North or Staccato drums, even though they don't scoop forward.
