This site is also for folks looking for parts and such to complete their kits. I don't care about the drama or gossip but if there is bad business going down I want to know about it!

I must say there is something fishy about having a 10,000 sq.ft. house in so. California and ripping people off for drum parts???

Phil as in Philosophy - the "Love" of Wisdom. Veritas - Latin for truth. I have made no statements on here that are untrue. Therefore, the only moronish thing about my posts may be the reader.

Purdie: When did I state that I was male?

To all of you: I will leave you all alone now until I am able to post what I need to post. This back and forth crap is getting none of us anywhere and until I can present you with the truth there really is no point to it.

TTFN,

Phil Veritas

I 'assumed' you were a male. My mistake.

Gender really doesn't make a difference anyway. I was addressing the gossipy nature of your mission here at VDF. You never talk about drums, or drumming, only Mikey777.

Jilted lover?

Otherwise, the venom, which is barely under the surface with you, is both obvious and calls your motives into question. Who are you anyway? Why all the mystery and cloak & dagger crap. Introduce yourself properly, and then state your business here - if it isn't vintage drums. If this all about some 'get Mikey' fixation you have, take it to a shrink. This is not the venue for it.

So, how long have you been playing drums? What kind of music are you into? Tell us about your vintage kit(s.)

Get the idea, Phil Veritas? Ask yourself, as a woman, why do you need to hide behind a male persona? If you are a male, you're no different from a washwoman gossiping over the back fence about the neighbors. Either way, I already know I don't like you. Don't take it personally either, I just don't like deceptive people of any stripe.

BTW, Mikey, in spite of some problems with transaction here, is one of the most knowledgeable guys I know especially when it comes to vintage imports. He's a drummer. As such, even with the problems he's currently having, the man has it all over you here at this forum. Mikey, warts and all, is -one of us-!

Who the hell are you?

John

Too many great drums to list here!

Was I just referred to as a "moron" for suggesting that using the Latin word for "Truth" as a means to hide one's true identity might be considered an oxymoron?

I have no idea what is going on with Mikey. There are plenty of people who use the anonymity of the Internet to create a false persona. That is their issue. Whether that is the case with Mikey, I have no idea. What I do know is that he is very knowledgable about vintage drums and he apparently has a stockpile of old parts. It is also fairly apparent that he has either some organizational issue, cash flow issues or doesn't value others money as much as he does his time. Probably some combination Regardless he is still an informational asset here. I suggest using extreme caution should you choose to purchase from him as he does not have a stellar reputation here. It seems like most people end up getting what they paid for and (hopefully) only a small percentage have been left hanging. As always, vote with your dollars.

FYI, Mikey's profile shows him in So. Calif., but last I heard, he's living in Northern Calif. I have yet to hear of Mikey not actually shipping parts and keeping money. Yes, he is habitually slow, but to my knowledge, I have heard of him refunding, but have never heard of him taking money and not delivering (albeit, some have been very slow) the goods.

If anyone has had Mikey taken money and not shipped and/or didn't refund then I'd like to hear it. I'm not saying he's a saint, as most of us aren't..........

To you I say: Put up or shut up. It's that easy....

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

You say he's an "oxymoron". He says you're a "moron".

By my calculations, you win by one keytone.

From Phil Veritas

I have no vendetta against anyone on this board. I am here simply to expose the truth. Backbeatkeeper seems to defend Mikey777. ANYONE who comes to Mikey777s defense has NO idea of who they are dealing with, period. I wrote a post the other day that told all about Mikey777s real exploits. I was asked by one of the people involved to take it down until everything had been sorted out. I took it down, but WILL repost it once I am told I may do so.Phil VeritasP.S. As to MY true identity. If you believe you know, go ahead, out me. It won't change anything. I'll even go you one better, I will tell everyone who I am when I repost the above referenced message. Unfortunately, I am told it may be 6 or 7 weeks.

Shall I play for you par rump pa pump bum,....on my drum !i
