I'd love to be there, it's three days after my Birthday. Great way to celebrate. If we don't have to send them back to Japan, I could bring one of the new Club Customs with me.........

$370 bucks for an 18" crash is about 35% higher then A Customs, 20% higher then K Customs. IMO, if a person was going to drop that kind of cash on cymbals, there's better stuff out there. If you're going to bust a companie's balls for being so expensive, why no Zildjian? At least Paiste is sti...

I've got access to a studio in la mirada if that's a good location. close to Anaheim but not as far south for those in LA and the valley. plenty of room for multiple kits. http://www.encorestudios.net/wp-content/gallery/studio-pics-small/IMG_0283.jpg lmk.
