To add to that, I remember getting my first DVD player back in January 1999 - DVD was still a fairly new format (I believe that it was introduced in 1997). I don't remember what I paid for the player, but you can best believe that it wasn't the same price that you could get one for. Even the DVDs themselves were more expensive. But again, that's the known price that you pay for being an early adopter.
The moral of the story is that even if you wait longer to wait for the price to drop, you'll still be behind the eight ball, in terms of technology.
Nah man Dvds were around in the late 80's but they were really expensive and it was not a highly used format because of the price. But yeah now you can buy a DVD player new for 30 bucks!!! As for the iphone; if you still have the receipt for it Apple is giving back the extra money that you paid.
Hey the Iphone owners are HOT now because they payed 600 bucks for the sucky first gen ones and now you can get them at the Apple Store for around 350 bucks!!.. ;D :D
That's exacty why I waited. I knew they were gonna do something. No idea what, but something.
*snickers*
You know good and well that DVDs were not 'around' in the late 80s. Maybe laserdisc, but that's attempting to make the following analogy 100% compatible:
laserdisc=DVD and VHS=beta(max).
The laserdisc is an analog format and the DVD is a digital format. Also the way that the DVD and laserdisc are structured totally different. I could go into the differences to prove this, but I digress.
So, no, DVDs were not released in the 80s.

And wheres your Dad? We all know he's like a pack of Rice-a-Roni "The San Francisco Treat".While that's corny as I don't know what, I do know that you're intimately familiar with being a trick - a drum trick that is. Keep on sticking your stick(s) into those different vent holes, and you're going to contract something, Mr. Follow the bouncing endoresement ball!

How's that alli goin', Jelly Belly?
I just read about this drum in the Oct '07 issue of DRUM magazine. It is absolutely stunning. But wait until you see the price on them. WHEW!!!!
If I was to buy one of these, it would go in a locked glass display case never to be played.
Anyway, check 'em out.

;D But of course... ;D
Dag, I saw this snare a very long time ago. :-\
It's cool but IMHO is not meant to be played but displayed. It's kind of like that Kung Fu snare that's out.
Yo if the drum is so much that you cant take it to Church then its not worth buying!!!!

lol - Bentley.
That's why I don't see me buying an anniversary snare drum. I'm really diggin' the Mapex Black Panthers and a few DW snare drums right now though.
Yeah man Mapex stuff is priced right and sound good. Im starting to think companies charge more because we let them!!! Why do I need a 1200 snare (Ive owned two) when a cheap ol Stage Custom or Export snare sounds just as good!!! Im not saying just buy the cheap stuff BUT I am saying we need to use wisdom. Im blessed to have what I have but yo; some of you all know that I was rocking the Pearl Sensitones for a very long time.
..and the Sensis' where sounded proper. Check this though, I just finished watching MD 2003 DVD again and I really dug the way Nick DiVirgilio's snare sounded. He had a Brass Black Panther 5.5x14. I want to know what that Walnut 6x13 sounds like and I really, really think that Mapex should add a 6x14 Maple or Walnut or both to the Black Panther line up. That size is perfect for Praise & Worship. Just ask Calvin Rodgers.

That size is going to be my next purchase. I find it very versatile and not just for praise and worship but for more. Calvin uses it on most of the recordings he does. It's either going to be a Black Panther Maple 14" x 6" or the Tama G maple Starclassic 14" x 6". I'm leaning towards the Tama. It's very nice. GB.

Talk about an anonomly. ;D
No Joke. ;D
j_kay owns the G Maple 6x14. Ask him about it. He put a Yamaha Groove Wedge on it too.
man whatever. ::) You know that you would've bought the all new Bentley Coupe instead of that Chrysler 300 C Hemi. The only reason you don't have it is because you know for a fact that it wouldn't look right in front of your church with the congregation wondering why they're still in a small temple sitting on wooden pews with no cushions. They're already wondering why your kit has a brand new snare drum with a crazy looking logo and brand new, old looking cymbals. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Don't you just love the church's elders. "Why is it that the Pastors son has all of these new things for that loud drumset and we're still sitting on wood?" LOL
Testimony Service at E-R's Church - Brother Roger's Testimony.... "I was praying last night and asked God to heal my back pains and I saw a vision of me sitting down in church with a big bright spotlight shining towards the drumset and an Angel pointing outside to the parking lot. Yall help me pray for understanding." ;D ;D ;D ;D
Who told you what I had sitting in my garage?
Who told you what I had sitting in my garage?
Sister Mary Lou did. LOL
Hey EC, Ill race you for that Tama 5/14 Maple snare..lol... I will leave that 300 C in My Cobra's Dust!!...lol...

Dude I just played on a DW 14" x 6" maple....and wow...I loved it....do you know how a solid shell would sound and what's the difference between the regular DW maple and a solid maple shell?? Thanks. GB.
Easy - the difference between the 'regular' DW Maple and a solid maple shell (whether it's Noble and Cooley, Pearl, DW, Dunnett, et al) is the construction. With the solid shell, it's just one solid piece of wood steam bent and often reinforcement rings are added to it. With the 'regular' DW Maple, it's a Maple shell, but it's constructed in plies.
As for the tone, it is said to be more resonant than its ply counterpart. As for me, I don't have to have a solid shell, because I feel that you can get an awesome tone out of each type.
I want to know what that Walnut 6x13 sounds like and I really, really think that Mapex should add a 6x14 Maple or Walnut or both to the Black Panther line up.
Yeah, I had a little powder on my hands that day...
