People from the North American continent, complaining about prices. Pass me my violin...
Soon the ppl will beg for a North American Union, or so corporations hope.
Doesn't AYOTTE make drumsticks?
Nothing like a VAT ,eh?

In the mass produced drum market, the actual cost of production is fairly small compared to the street price paid. It's all the other costs that stack it up (marketing overheads, distribution, duties, retail margins, etc, etc). Ultimately, local pricing is decided more on the basis of market conditions than any tracked relationship to manufacturing cost. No different to any other global brand business.
With prices like that buying bulk online or coop with other drummers might work out.
