I'm standing by what I said as well. I am speaking knowledgeably and intelligently but it appears to go over your head. You're one to talk about casting aspersions . . .

Here's some advice for you - read through a post at least twice before you attempt to put words in somebody's mouth. Here's what Jazzhead wrote: Also, I recently read on the forum that the quality of their drums has dropped for some reason, not sure it that is true or how that’s happened...

Dunnett products are available under his own name through Big Bang Distributing.

I've used the GPI Flex Frame.

The country of manufacture is a big factor.

So, you're a mind reader? Or you have proof that that was his intent? If the answer to both of those questions is "no", then the best you can do is say that it was unintentionally misleading. Unless you're just trolling.

Mapex USA means that Mapex set up a division of the company that is in charge of operations within the US, rather than trying to run the US operations from their Asian headquarters. Yamaha has had a Yamaha USA division for decades. So has Pearl. It has nothing to do with where the products are...

Yes, that's the one!

A friend of mine has a 6.5x14 with the 302 hoops for sale locally. Anyone owned or played one?
