Anyone ever get a catalog from these guys? I got one yesterday, over 500 pages of pro gear, and guess what? 2 pages of drum sets, and over 100 pages of guitars? I was thumbing through it, and holly crap, the variety of guitars out there is nuts, and I thought buying drum gear was though. with the amount of stuff they have I wonder why only 2 pages dedicated to drums, makes no sense to me, cool catalog though, tons of stuff in it, lots of amps and recording gear.

My son gets that catalogue. Guess what? He's a guitarist.

Great guitar and audio selection.
A little pushy on the sales front, but good customer service.

Yes! They are on the Christmas list for our boys. Always something comes from them for one if not both. There was a Fulltone pedal one of them wanted and they were the only game in town. HUGE catalogs too. They are pretty good to deal with too.

It's the same for other company catalogs. Tons of guitars and amps, very little on drums, most won't go near custom drums. One or two E-kits, Yamaha and Pearl kits, with a Gretsch or two thrown in.

Got drum heads from them. Little slow on the shipping. Problem around here is that the shops don't stock what you need these days, especially larger bass heads.

I buy my heads from Amazon. They've always got what I use in stock. (Aquarian Modern Vintage) Sweetwater is not for drummers. Guitar and Audio as someone said.
