Just got back from school..expecting my iron cobra to be on my doorstep..and the fed ex guys leaves a note saying it couldnt be delivered because of signature required...no one was home...bummerrrrrr..now another day of school anticipating my pedals.

 

[EOTE_drummer]

But won't the day when they arrive be just magical?

Unless they screwed up the delivery in countless ways.

That's what's great about going to a drum shop and leaving with your purchase. On the other hand I am waiting for the practice pad kit that they had to order.

 

[kylevater]

ask drummerduba he knows what its like to wait long for a product

Egg-zactly. Pay $10 more, get it then...that is unless the product is not in stock at the music store....

The Christmas season has backed up the shipping business considerably this year

I went to the music store today and am STILL awaiting my "brick of Pro-Mark 2B Hickory Wood tips.

I can get sticks directly from Pro-Mark at a pretty reduced price but prefer to buy them at the music store, just to help support them. Same with Aquarian. I could pay $10 less per head change, but that $10 helps ensure I have a music store to go to!

Using aquarian as weel huh. I use a white Dot with black control ring on my 8x15 57' WFL marching snare. it can use all the contol it can get.

and it was all messed up and had some holes in it with tape on it i was
really mad.

Musician's Friend is usually really quick

 

[trstn]

oh .. when a delivery fails around here I need to go to a store to pick it up .. well ..

I buy sticks at the local store, well they are small and sell to the more "beginner" audience. They never have the right heads, so I must order them.
They have learned that I buy 12 pairs of the sticks I use every now and then and they have a few packs.

I'd love to have a real music store around with a nice coffee machine and a sofa to hang out and drool on good gear ...

I could let them order the new PST5s I need but I would pay a lot more than ordering them by myself at thomann.de (musiciansfriend in german )
I was thinking about buying a slitdrum from them but they are just too expensive. The idea of supporting the local store is a good one, but my finances do not allow this all the time.

thomann.de (musiciansfriend in german )

Wouldn't that be "musikers freund"?

i know what it is like to wait. i ordered my saluda's 3 weeks ago and they didn't ship until yesterday. so i still have another week or 2 wait until they actually come in...

thomann.de (musiciansfriend in german )

Indeed. Musikers Freund to be picky on those capitals.
Thomann.de is as big and as well known in Germany as musiciansfriend.com is in the US I'd say. Most of the people I know order at Thomann because they have really good prices.
