Maybe you could prevail on Joe Pollard's good graces. Pollard stopped by Donn Bennett's in June:http://www.facebook.com/notes/donn-bennett-drum-studio/blog-2-syndrum-inventor-joe-pollard-stops-by/10150225971144090He's in business these days selling Checker cab stuff, there's a contact us at his company's site. Here's the About US section:http://www.checkerparts.com/content/view/13/28/"Joe Pollard, owner of Checker Parts, Inc., has been a musician for most of his life. He rode in hundreds of Checker Cabs while performing on the road as a drummer..."And finally, here is somebody walking through the controls in vid, might be some use:http://wn.com/Pollard_SyndrumPatrick

One guy is selling a used syndrum quad unit on ebay for around $2400. I can't say whether or not that's the going rate.

Yeah even thought the price is so good *cough, read good* it's not what people want to pay apparently. Which is fine, I can just sit on them till I get a serious buyer...but I still want to learn about them in terms of the manual haha. And if I'm not mistaken, that guy that listed that doesn't even have but the machine brain...right?

Hmmm so yall think it would be ok to just contact this super famous guy and be all like "Hey got a manual lying around? Or maybe a PDF?"....hahaha Ok maybe I'll try that...hmmmm. Unless I can somehow managed to find a manual in teh storage locker...THanks!
