123, he probably translated drum shop into gc for the yanks

[Pleaseme]

123, he probably translated drum shop into gc for the yanks

Damnit, I thought for a minute there I would be able to experience the imfamous GC for myself :(

[TTTSNB]

Ah, looks nice man. You might want to get a nice two legged or at least a rotating leg hihat stand so you can use your left kick better though...trust me, it'd make a world of difference.

[gimp fest]

Damnit, I thought for a minute there I would be able to experience the imfamous GC for myself :(

who know though, there may be a secret GC in Wickford, Essex.

>_>

<_<

nah, they don't exist here bro :(

[Pleaseme]

Maybe that's a good thing..?

[gimp fest]

Maybe that's a good thing..?

or not. the prices are unbelievable at those places. imagine picking up a hhx ride for under £100.

[_Austin_]

WOA!? are they really that low? ive never converted their prices to £

[Pleaseme]

Yeah, you can get that kinda priced stuff?? I got the impression that service was usually fairly poor, and prices are high. Stupid chain shops really cheap only in america grumble grumble

[PandaDrummer]

I miss MARS music over here....they had the best deals on everything...it was amazing...they went out of business...supposedly they were a drug spot..thats how they could keep stuff so cheap...but I was like...we most musicians are druggies anyways..its like a all in one mart for musicians....anyways that rabbit trail....

[_Austin_]

Yer, there definatley should be a GC in the UK.

Or at least musiciansfriend should ship over here, they would get a lot more business... i'd definately buy from them. (depending on any taxes there might be for drums)

[Jezen]

Dude come on, we REALLY need GC's in the UK. We have to pay 35 pounds for a 14" wuhan, whereas they have to pay like $14.

:eek: £35? where from, DM?

[RushHourSoul]

Looks very nice. Should try and get some audio up of that snare..

[Jezen]

It was, but they have slashed it now, so a little less I guess.

But still, we should be getting them for like £5...

[The Leper Messiah]

Nice snare you got there. How about some audio?

[_Austin_]

[Jezen]

It really won't be much. Maybe a fiver?

[rockindrummer]

Nice buy man, that snare looks nice.

[_Austin_]

Ooh, i think il be buying one of those for myself aswell...

[Chris]

When i was at wembley about a month ago, they had dirt cheap Wuhans.

[spike9908]

$65 for a 12" Wuhan Splash is australia.. i loose.

[spirit]

$65 for a 12" Wuhan Splash is australia.. i loose.

American or Australian dollars?

[Aaron]

australian. becuase thats the currency we use here.

[spirit]

australian. becuase thats the currency we use here.

I figured. So whether or not you lose depends on how much Australian Dollars suck!

I kid, I kid. Anyway, to the internet converter...

AUD$65 = $47.39 = £27.55

Ok, going by old DM Drums prices, we lose, but since the price slash, you lose. :lol:

Have a nice day :wave:

[blujelly]
