any size option?
So i wanted to share something I stumbled across while researching Asian manufacturing. I found alibaba.com and what this site is, is a way for stores/companies etc... To connect with suppliers. Well after my curiosity got to me I started looking around their drums. Lo and behold, Tama's supplier is on there! I shot an email to them inquiring about price saying I'm a "private buyer" but anyway the supplie got back to me and quoted me at 600 for 3 Toms and bass drum (with 4 day shipping). This blew my mind! He also said if you buy 3 get 1 free or buy 5 and get 2 free. I hope I'm not violating any forum rules by posting this, but I just thought I'd share with you all.

I agree stay away from those to good to be true deals online. I only shop from reputable North American companies with safe sites. I would never buy anything from Asia they are known for making fraudulent clones.

I was never intending to purchase one of these kits. I love my Yamaha lol. Anyway, I just wanted to share the potential deal. I hadn't check scam reports. Sorry guys.
