The claw hooks are creating oxidation on the top hoop also. It's in the exact location between the claws all the way around. There is some kind of electrolysis or other reaction going on there also. It's just ugly.
I will have to say that I loved the creativity coming out of the early 2000's keller-based drum companies. Such wacky never-done-before craziness. I always was a little interested in those super-shallow tom kits, but they always came with super-shallow floor toms which I thought looked like big snare drums. So many of those kits were SOOOO expensive too.They're the 2015-2020's equivalent of the gaudy keller kits with stupid sizes and colourful hardware from the 2000's. In 10 years time they won't be able to sell them for 30% of what they bought them for.
Probably right on the nose with this assessment. They're niche drums for an even smaller niche market and they only really sound good in a studio setting. Seems like a highly limited market that certainly won't last. I'm guessing that since they never intended to be a drum making company, it doesn't matter that their business model has an expiration date.In 10 years time they won't be able to sell them for 30% of what they bought them for.
Yes but the A&F sandwich cost 5X as much and is already moldy when you buy it.People are sold crap sandwiches all the time and the psychology/advertising selling has such power over people they eat it and convinced it taste good.
In areas with high real estate prices, that’s fairly common. Meanwhile, there are houses twice the size in perfect shape at half the cost just a couple hours away.Yes but the A&F sandwich cost 5X as much and is already moldy when you buy it.
I'm waiting for the $100,000 pre-distressed car. It has a ripped driver seat, oxidized headlight bezels, rusty floorplan, cracked windshield, and only fires on 7 cylinders.
How about the $500,000 pre-aged house? It has a leaky roof, squeaky uneven floors, questionable wiring, cracked foundation, peeling lead based paint, rotting wood, windows that no longer open, and locks that dont work. Let's throw in some ghosts just to round out the package.
Man, I bet people would eat that up.

I'm talking about a brand new house, not a 150 year old fixer upper. Contractor purposely built said house.In areas with high real estate prices, that’s fairly common. Meanwhile, there are houses twice the size in perfect shape at half the cost just a couple hours away.
While none are quite $100k, this is how patina is done. If anyone from A&F uses this forum, take note.I'm waiting for the $100,000 pre-distressed car. It has a ripped driver seat, oxidized headlight bezels, rusty floorplan, cracked windshield, and only fires on 7 cylinders.
Everytime I see that gold and blue I think of Captain Power.I love their metal drums but I won’t lie, I bought my latest A&F on looks alone. Thankfully it sounds pretty good.

New in original package action figure, I'll take that for the collection.Everytime I see that gold and blue I think of Captain Power.
I remember having this "interactive" vhs video of Captain Power....I don't remember much about it-but now I'm curious about the "interactive" capabilities of a tape haha.New in original package action figure, I'll take that for the collection.
The game system requirements were a nice blast from the past "256K, DOS 2.0"![]()
If it's an area that is highly gentrified, I'm sure they would.How about the $500,000 pre-aged house?

I bought a house that's about a 45 min. drive from my job. My house would cost 4x as much in the town where I work.In areas with high real estate prices, that’s fairly common. Meanwhile, there are houses twice the size in perfect shape at half the cost just a couple hours away.
Im barely old enough to remember when real estate prices weren’t completely stupid.I bought a house that's about a 45 min. drive from my job. My house would cost 4x as much in the town where I work.
