Then you can breathe a sigh of relief because Yamaha drums haven’t been made in Japan for years, except for the PHX line, if they’re still producing them.I don't like Japanese drums, there I said it. no offence to those who do..
Good for him. They make good hardware too & I'm sure he'll do good by them.He's going for Yamaha pedals and hardware, too. That must be a big change for him. He's played dw pedals since the 80's, when he still was with Pearl drums.
Lol. What about the drums being constructed in Japan is unappealing to you?I don't like Japanese drums, there I said it. no offence to those who do..
Interesting. I guess I've always been less concerned with where they were manufactured vs how well they're manufactured. We've all heard horror stories about DW or Ludwig or whoever's kits being messed up despite being American made. (Same of course applies to non-American drum brands).Nothing wrong with them , just not for me. I have played them, they've always seemed like American copies to me.. Same with guitars Japanese Strats are great but I prefer American ones.. It's my problem not yours.
Hey thanks for the disclosure , really neato! So Americans can choose Japanese drums built in Taiwan , but AWWstrayleeuns are weird because they prefer drums designed and made in Amurica, Canadians don't give a shit... Oh you forgot to call me a troll/ smurf. thanks again for taking an interest in my business.Interesting question, especially since Pete/Donkey/Z26 is in Australia.
I'm from the USA, so the impetus to buy "Made in 'Murca" seems logical. I'm more like you, though, Jonathon. I generally buy based on factors other than place of manufacturer.
I guess you’ve never heard Neil Peart talk about his Sabians before.Canadians don't give a shit...
I don't care. I like Paiste.. here's the thing I'd rather choose my own gear , I don't need famous people..I guess you’ve never heard Neil Peart talk about his Sabians before.
Famous people use Paiste.I don't care. I like Paiste.. here's the thing I'd rather choose my own gear , I don't need famous people..
Because they saw me. and I don't jump ship.Famous people use Paiste.
