As You fellas know, I was in Oslo, Norway at the end of April, prior to my visit to the US.
When we headed home from Oslo to Skopje (via Istanbul), the airline said that somehow they've overbooked the flight and 3 of us (out of 7) would have to stay on the airport and await the next flight.
I and 2 other male colleagues volunteered to stay, since we had 3 female colleagues in the group, each with children waiting to see their mothers...
The wait was long, and killed my whole weekend, but something good came out of it...
Each of us was, at the end of May, transferred 400euro as compensation for the overbooked flight (since we had tickets)...
And, I took this "as a sign", and made the only logical move I could think of... Phoned the SONOR factory for the S Classix 16" floor tom in walnut roots...
I transferred them the money (430euro) a couple of days ago, and now I'm on the wait list...
The circle is complete - finally the moment I've been dreaming of, since the very beginning - back from when I bought the Hilites (then, I was unable to find the 18" bd):
To have a one-series-set consisting of 10tt-12tt-14ft-16ft-18bd-22bd, that could be easily split into 2 sets (10-14-18 & 12-16-22) or every other combination needed.
The best part - what I play at rehearsals is what I'll be playing live!!!
I can't express (once again) how grateful I am for you guys helping me out with the bass drum.
And I'm also grateful that the Sonor factory decided to do the floor tom as well. Somehow, Shane and Sam don't take S Classix orders any more (I've read that on the sonorforum, by the link one of you posted, I think)...
Now starts the waiting process....
