Re: Yamaha finish issues

That doesn't sound right to me... how old is the kit? What finish is it?

I'd reach out to Yamaha if I were you... I mean, you may not have gotten the kit brand new, but I don't think that is something that should happen.

Re: D'Addario aquires Pro Mark

However, I'd like to point out that while the weight varied a lot between pairs, Todd's signature stick might be the best stick that Promark make. I could dig through several pairs and walk out of the store with some great feeling heavy maple sticks.

Re: D'Addario aquires Pro Mark

I love the Tony Williams stick, but every pair I've picked up is warped and unmatched. I didn't even know that Zildjian made a Tony Williams stick. I used to use(and love) the Gretsch Tony Williams stick over 20 years ago, but Gretsch stopped making sticks shortly thereafter. I'll have to check the...

Re: D'Addario aquires Pro Mark

I believe VicFirth has always made Zildjian sticks. From what I understand Zildjians QC specs aren't as stringent as VicFith's, hence why the perceived lesser quality. :| I don't get that. Why would you have a better company make your sticks... but have lower quality control? Anyway, I'd love to se...

Re: New Product: Sabian Omni

The Vault line now has all the signature models in it...

Sounds interesting... I wonder why they're only out in 18" and 22" sizes?

I saw the Stanton Moore Trio last night (review)

I caught wind of this gig about a week and a half ago, and I was really excited to see them live after being quite familiar with Stanton's solo records with the trio and of course being a big fan of Galactic (saw them earlier this year too). The trio was apparently the backing band for Anders Osborn...
