Yeah, sometimes you have to do a bit of travelling.
Not many music stores close to me, either.
I had to go to Seattle, which (back then) was like $15 on the ferry, each way, and then I had to do some driving to find some of these places.
...or I had to go to Tacoma, which is 50 miles, each way, just to get to town...then I had find the places after I got there.
Like I said, have some patience. I took a couple of years to find my kit. That model didn't even exist when I started looking.
...btw, if you know of any drum builders that aren't too far away, check with them, too.
In my area, I went to go see Gerry Garcia, owner of The Seattle Drum Shop and who was also building Garcia drums back then. He had some good insights on how crafting a drum in different ways will give different sounds.
Looking back on it, I sometimes think I should've gone with him, but I spaced his shop when came time to lay down the cash and ended up with the Ludwig's instead.
