mmmm China-y goodness!

I'm at work, I got a call on my mobile from Andrew at the store telling me it's come in, I borrowed the secretary's van, drove there, bought it (I showed off my cool SKB cymbal vault case to pick it up in ;)) took it home, set it up precariously on a clamp + boom arm on my kit, hit it a couple of times, went *dribbleeeee* and then came back to work.

:)

Note: I'm still at work for another whole 2 hours before I can go and play it :(

I'm getting a Pearl Eliminator around the start of 2004 when I've paid off my kit, Steve Forrest is gonna let me pay off an Eliminator which would be good :D

Basically, he'll do what I've done with my kit - because I'm endorsing his store he'll give me the goods now with an initial deposit, and then I just need to pay them off within 6 months :).

And since a Pearl Eliminator is only gonna cost me around $500-700 or so, it'll only take me 4 - 6 weeks to pay it off ;)

Hmm.. I can't seem to find Meinl cymbals being sold here in Malaysia. If they do have, it's all the lowest range ones. Milo, can I find the high end ones in Spore?

Thats like clothes, most girls pay 500 dollars for a pair of jeans when no joke, it costs them less than 30 dollars to make!
