Help me choose a Pantheon Steel Halo drum tuning

Great news: after 5 years of patiently waiting my turn on the waiting list for a Pantheon Steel Halo Drum, I won the right to purchase a batch three drum this year.
Here's where I need your help. I can't decide what tuning to select.
Here's a link to all of the current Halo sound models

Here's me (current) list of favorites:
1. Celtic tuning



b. La Serena w/C#



3. Avalon



What's your favorite of these tuning, or do you have a suggestion for another?

New Multiplayer Online Jam session

Wanna jam on the piano with random folks on the internet? Check out MultiPlayerPiano
It's good for some random playing with random people. I had a few interesting interactions with folks.
My suggestion is to create a room with some description like "Black Keys Only" or "Key of C", to give folks some idea of what to play.

Enjoy!

Here's a crazy video that I stumbled onto with some very creative "seats"

Diego Stocco Music from a dry cleaner video

I love Diego Stocco's creativity, the guy has a mind that works like mine, but he's out there making music from all sorts of awesome "Found Music" sources. Diego is my inspiration. Check out his latest video where he makes music with the sounds found in a neighborhood dry cleaning store.

Little Guitar Works makes really twisted Bass Guitars

I spotted these awesome bass guitars today, and I am blown away by the craftsmanship in these instruments. Just have a look at the ergonomic design of these bass guitar. They call it the Torzal Natural Twist and (per their website): the ergonomic design increases the efficiency of the hands, wrists and arms, reducing the risk of developing repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.


As a bass player I definitely get the idea that the bass players job is to hold down the groove and that can lead to issues with carpel tunnel.


You have to check out all of the Little Guitar Works bass guitar product line to appreciate how beautiful these babies are.
