Aaron - Let me check my stash! If I have one, I'll be happy to send it to you for your drum. Not sure, but I believe there may be an 8-hole stick-saver down there. I'll look and get back to you asap.

Keep your fingers crossed. BTW, your money is no good in my store! Keep it for something else. :p

John

John,

Thanks for the quick reply and generosity...but I'm paying for shipping if you find one!. You are a gentleman and a scholar! By the way, I recently took a page out of your book and gifted another member an MIJ badge that he needed for a restoration. I was truly inspired by stories of your generosity. Let me know, Amigo!

Thanks,

Aaron

Aaron,

Ok, I have good news... and I have bad news!

The good news is; I have a really nice/clean 8-hole sticksaver. The hoop is in A-1 condition.

The bad news is... a kitchen magnet stuck to it! Chrome Over Steel!

Aaron, if you can use it, I'll ship it right out to you, no problema. It's just collecting dust over here. Let me know.

And it feels good doesn't it?!

John

Gifting definitely feels good and beggars can't be choosers! That hoop will work just fine for me, Amigo...much appreciated! Can you email me at [email]elmoonlightdrummer@gmail.com[/email] and we'll set it up?

Email sent.

John

You da man! Gracias, Amigo.

Aaron - If you notice, when I give something to someone here at the forum it's 'almost' always one of the cats I've known and talked to, done swaps and buys and sales with for years. Friends...

Example: I have never laid eyes on Mike Layton in the 6 years, or so that I know him, but I love him and consider him like my brother. Maybe not to the same degree, but that same feeling is there for many of my forum buddies/fellow drummers/drum-lovers.

I have a ton of stuff over here. Some would say that I have been blessed. Sharing 'stuff' with my friends, people who I value, respect and in some cases care about, is a privilege, not generosity. I get more out of it than they do.

The hoop will be on the way shortly. I'm grateful for the opportunity to do something nice for you. You're good people and a terrific forum buddy, always have been. As for the hoop... de nada, mi hermano, de nada.

John

I, for one, really appreciate the gesture and have been motivated by you to also "pay it forward". I value you as a good forum buddy...as I do with several others including Mike! When we all look out for each other, good things happen to us all. Thanks again, man.
