Brian,
It is with great sadness that I have to inform the forum that Biman is no longer manufacturing or selling drums. They have met the same fate as [FONT="Impact"]Rogers[/FONT]. Evidently labor costs skyrocketed in India where their import sets were being made, so Biman Industries was forced to shut down their drum production division and focus solely on their low-cost, commuter airline business. They are apparently quite successful and profitable now, as they don't have to comply with those pesky US FAA safety regulations, and all passengers are required to supply each flight with a gallon of aviation fuel. See link below:

Damn, Mike, that's a shame! I do understand the competition in today's market though. In a way, I have to admire the ingenuity of the Biman Corporation. At least they refused to outsource to China and Taiwan like so many manufacturers of drums have done. Starting a completely different business must have taken some courage and initiative. I certainly hope this new venture will fly.

LoLoLoLo Now we're just getting silly. But if we can be serious for just a moment, I'm making available several pairs of "Rock Band" model Biman sticks from the '80s (see pic below). These are the quality US made sticks, not the imports from India. $15 per pair (due to their rarity) or will consider trading the whole lot for a 1940's CB700 floor tom in Mardi Gras wrap.
