Oooooh I'm not entirely sure yet. I'm not going to order immediately. I'll give it a while to think about exactly what I want in wood-type, sizes, number of drums, etc.
I definitely want an ivory/antique white...nothing looks better w/ chrome over it.
You know Pearl also make Ivoiry finish...
Are you advising him to buy Pearl instead of Unix????
Well Frank is an honest guy and will make a kit for someone only if he deserve an Unix kit...
I mean, I've saw post where Frank said clearly an Unix kit wasn't exactly what the guy needed and should look for something else. How can you be more honest than this, it's not that Frank doesn't want to build the kit, it's just that Frank want their customer the most satisfied they can be.
Hey!!!!! Wasn't this Darryl Dawkins' handle? Sixers..? This as been nagging me for ever since this thread has been up..!!! dang!
After looking at your pics and listening to your sound clips, all I can say is: Damn you for making my perfectly good kit seem inadequate. Your kit looks great, but more importantly, it sounds incredible. Oh, and to add to that: I think the strongest selling point for me, besides the sound, is the ease of tuning. It seems like I spend way too much time getting my drums to sound just right. Now if only I had the scratch to get me a unix kit...
Not a flame. I was being facetious.
That comes off as a bit of a flame? I wasn't trying to make anything seem inadequate at all. I'm not trying to sell *or* detract anyone on Unix drums, that's not my job nor my intention. Don't make any assumptions about a situation you know very few details about, either.
Don't want to seem overly sensitive here - but the last thing I want is a negative tone to take over here. It's absolutely unnecessary.
HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE.
I was looking on Unix's website...
Can I really get a 5x14 Bubinga snare drum for less than $200?
No way. I refuse to believe it. For such high-quality drums, that's a RIDICULOUSLY good price.
Or wait...is that only for the shell? Would it cost more to get lugs and hoops?
Likely just for the shell. He may also have discounted stuff that doesn't meet perfection standards.
hehe, 805 seems to go for high end gear these days, great to see that .
