Awe Mike, that sux. In this economy, it is no big surprise. I hope you guys can come up with a plan, or at least be able to mothball it until the time comes again. Keep the faith my friend, it will work out, unless there is some irreparable damage behind the scenes we cannot fathom. You are in our prayers my friend!

Wow. That blows!

Is OCDP still producing their overseas-sourced kits, then? Or is it all over?

I really liked the OCDP kits from your shoppe, but it's no secret that I couldn't get along with the overseas-sourced ones.

I am truly sorry to read about this.

Yeah- I'm THAT guy!!!

I'm sorry to hear about this latest development. Is there possibly a similar thing going on here comparable to the Simmons drum brand being a proprietary brand in name only that is sourced out by the big retail store chain to any manufacturer that meets the minimal standards for minimal dealer cost?

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

i didn't know you worked there (it sounds like it) i can't recall if i knew you, but i used to go down to the shop and mainly talked to john and the other head honcho,don't recall his name.

anyway, i thought pork pie was making your custom drums. is that gone too?

i may be interested in buying any used drums and parts (non ocdp) you used to have a few boxes of parts missing parts, or a bunch of old midline drums above the bathrooms (a few ludwigs, maybe a tama or 2)

if you still have that stuff let me know. if you have stock for the kits, i may be able to help you sell it off. possibly some machinery too. let me know.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

The OC drums looked nice.

I never did have the pleasure of seeing them in the flesh.
