What shop you work at brother? Is it at Ken Stanton?
Haha, nope. Guitar Center... a lot of people hate them for whatever reason so I usually just say "drum shop". Rest assured that I speak very highly of your kits (especially the acrylics) to customers. I'm glad you said you make your own acrylic sets... that is actually really cool and it seperates you from the pack.
Again, it speaks volumes that you are in here. Tama certainly hasn't taken the time to respond to the OP. If it were me, I would've gone Crush based on that alone.
