Gentlemen, thank you so much for your input. It has been invaluable. When I went to check out the drums, he deleted the snare from the deal but stayed firm on his price. Based on all you've told me and what I have seen, I will pass on this one. But you've educated me quite a bit.By the way, I didn't know the mach lugs were necessarily less valuable than the classic lugs. Well, I still like their appearance, so I'll keep my eyes peeled. May your tempo never waver.
