mlvibes!
Now isn't that rich! You ask a perfectly appropriate question, based on a LOUSY PICTURE with a LOUSY ANGLE of the snare drum, and get an indignant reply. Jeeze! What a jerk. Well DUH dude... if I could actually SEE the etched lines on the shell I wouldn't be asking if it was a Powertone, would I! That guy in the "well known drum shop" is a moron!
Thanks for the investigative work mlvibes! :-)
