Tommy Igoe moves to Yamaha

Oh I'm sure Vince doesn't pay for any of those, and even if he did, the man is extremely wealthy.

[Odd-Arne Oseberg]

I paid $450 for my G. Way The Studio. In the company of Longos and Bradys that's quite inexpensive.

[Rodge]

Yeah I'm sure that he doesn't pay, it's so much exposure for these brand, it's all good for them that Vinnie can be seen with their product.

I hadn't seen those G. Way snares before (there's that exposure), I might order that copper one up.

I played one of the wood shell ones (can't remember the model) and it was really, really nice. Full sound, sensitive, fat, the whole deal. The only thing that I wasn't crazy about was the throw-off, which seemed fragile looking. If I was going to get one, I would ask for reassurance about it first.

Oh good call. I've been wanting a super nice copper snare for awhile and Dunnett is the leading contender for what I want, though the G Way is dang close for less.

LADanny of this board has one of these, Danny, can you chime in?

I may be mistaken, but I think Dunnett took over the George Way name and makes those drums.

You're not mistaken.

[YamahaPlayer]

... really?!

So basically if you buy a G. Way, you're buying the badge, different lugs and a different strainer on a Dunnett snare?

Well bummer. Might as well just get the real thing then.
