What's the story on that Slingy in the background?

Sorry, sold a while ago. Seems like there's not a big market for older imports, just older U.S. drums right?

The operative word is "big". There is a market for older Asian imports. It's nowhere near as developed as the vintage U.S. drum market. There are some excellent drums in those MIJ's. I couldn't believe a Yamaha late 60's went unsold at 99 bucks on ebay recently. It was a very cool finish. Kind of like a red strata twisted on it's side. If I was looking, I could have stole it. It's worth way more than that. That's a clue to the numbers of individuals ACTIVELY searching out vintage MIJ's. There were low hit numbers on that page.

Be patient. Those are nice drums. Someone will speak out.

Bump - C'mon, doesn't a new set of lower level Pearls cost more?
