Tell Billy Hydes to order some kits and they will surely appear ;)

Then again, if the legends are true, you'll have an extremely hard time playing one because they'll disappear off the floor pretty quick :cool:

They will probably be going pretty fast, orders for Reference kits are through the roof.

Dale's is a sweet shop. If gas wasn't $2.50 a gallon I'd drive the 3 hr round trip there and back just to see the new Reference kit and some of their other goodies they have up there.

I hear ya Al. That is why I think most people must make $150k-$500K just to survive today.

I feel sorry for the lowly under $100K-$50k people in today's society, makin it payin the bill's wise ya know.

Decided to play my drums to forget the bills awhile and it worked!!!!

All I can say is Thanks Al for those nice Purples...... Even without mics or woofer that kickdrum is a sweet thumper.
