They hold tours one Thursday a month up to 10 people.

I found out about it on their website and there is a form to sign up.

It was awesome! Lots of drooling! I will post pics later!

No problem! Here they are right-side up!

Looks like you had a great time and saw lots of cymbals and Buddy's kit!
