Need some help???

[robd]

Today I went into Samash, to inquire about the new Redline kit Black on Black with Red gaskets. I am thinking of trading my MMX kit in and buying this kit. But the problem is there are no music stores anywhere with a Reference kit to play, to see if I even like the sound. Need some advice because I seriously thinking of ordering this kit monday. Thanks

Thanks for the locations. I am just wanting to know regardless of color, how they hold up next to the MMX, there are 5 music stores very close to me and they have everything but reference. I was also wanting to know if anyone knows if there will be componet drums you can order. One music store tells me no the other says yes and another told me in the future??????

Trust me, while the MMX are very nice kits, you will LOVE the Reference kit. I have a Masterworks in Reference specs in my sig. I also have another Reference kit on the way. They are amazing. The kick drums are untouchable and the 20 ply snare just rocks.

i blind bought my reference, and am for the most part extremely satisfied. it took awhile to get the exact tones i wanted, but they are there and they sound amazing.
