I Stole 'Em

[pastor_bob]

I thought that might be an attention grabber - a pastor stealing something!!

I actually did though. I was in Nashville today, and I have been looking at hi-hat cymbals for a while. I had it narrowed down to 14" Sabian Vault, and 13" Sabian HHX Evolution. I decided to stop at GC while I was in Nashville, and I was disappointed that the Vault hi-hats that had been on a kit weren't available today because they had redone their display area. When I talked to the sales guy (who remembered me - that felt good), he said that he had the Vault hi-hat cymbals behind the counter, and that they were on a special blowout sale, because GC wasn't going to carry them anymore. Bottom line, I got the Vault hi-hats for $160 today, and that was a steal! I got such a good deal that I went over to Fork's Drum Closet and bought the 13X6 Mapex Black Panther snare that I had played with about a week and a half ago for $119. I feel sooooo guilty! What a day!

How did it feel to steal?????

Very cool PB. I guess we won't see too much of you online this weekend!

[ratmycue]

wow, good things come to great people,
way to go.

Nice pb! post pics!

I'll try to get them up sometime tomorrow Andreeew. I'll have some time to take the pics then. The Black Panther snare even came in a finish that fits well with the Deep Amber of the Gretsch kit. It's a maple drum with an outer ply of Cherry. Beautiful drum!

And yet somehow works, doesn't it?

I already got the hats on the kit, and I retired the ZBT hats to finish the set that will go to my son. I also played around with the Black Panther, but I haven't got the tuning that I want yet. I'm still learning the drum.

And here comes the drool. I really like that snare. I'd love to hear the hats. They look great. Now I can go back to the I WIN thread and be right.

I think that BP is going to sound as SWEET as it looks! Hey now, a BP for PB. Hmmmmm.

You're probably right Norske, but the dude that sits behind it is more like ready to make his debut at a living room near you!
