Not so my friend! Check out the hardware on this drum:

http://www.drumshop.co.uk/buy/worldmax-black-brassaztec-gold-snare-drum-bk-6514sfxg.htm

It's called: Aztec Gold. The finish on these parts looks identical to the gold finish used by Ludwig. The clips are brass so they'll hold up under pressure way better than the originals. I'll salt away the original parts and keep them safe.

Tomorrow can't come fast enough for me...

TommyP...correct me if i'm wrong please.

oh and John....you got that drum plugged in yet??? lol (don't hate me please) i'm smiling big as i type this :D

I bought a WM snare just like that except with chrome hardware a few months ago. It is a pretty cool drum. Certainly Asian made, but it was cheap and I was curious. I also thought having a snare or two with stick choppers would be fun.

Back to topic, today is the day John! Hope you slept a little last night brother.

Didn't get to sleep until 4:30! Still waiting on the mail-lady!

John

Like waiting for a baby to arrive. Purdie's trying to go the "natural" route but now it looks like he's tired of waiting and just wants the drugs.

I have a feeling the delivery person will be kissed - man OR woman!

I picture John wearing his Elmer Fudd hat waiting at the curb for the mail lady.Excited

Hey Purdie.. Must be a mix up with the mail? ..

It just arrived down here Laughing H

I'm pacing over here! My regular mail hasn't been delivered yet, so it may still arrive. The USPS website says; it's supposed to be delivered today, but it is still 'in-transit.' I have no idea what that means. It shows the drum in Chicago but it's supposed to be here today???

I did a copy/paste of the info from USPS tracking. Here it is, tell me what you think it all means.

In the meantime, I'm sitting here waiting! I've been talking to Tom via email and he doesn't know what it means either. If the package was clocked out of Chicago at 11:59 am, I won't see the drum until tomorrow, the earliest.

Bummed... don't know what's going on.

Robyn!

No need to correct you, as you are CORRECT! The rating system/stars for each thread happened to come with the software, and we have had people use it at times too, just not all that often. Enjoy!!

John.

Usually it it's on the delivery truck it says on the site "Out for delivery".

Still in transit,. just what it says. Sundays at USPS are not considered a travel day. That's what I been told many times.
