Yeah, nice looking package aside from cost and square rods. I don't understand why there are two different drums pictured in the photos. Entertainingly, one has a badge with grain parallel to the shell veneer, the other a badge with perpendicular veneer. I wonder whose call that is.
What's with the language? Is it Drum Center or Sonor that writes, "Spectacular natural grown veneers"? Really sucky English, and only serves to piss me off again that they failed to state "unnatural veneers" way back when.
How about this howler: "For each edition a certain tree has been selected with the goal in mind to only use the most exiting parts of the grain." For what it's worth grains don't excite. Figure does. But here the grain is exiting, which it certainly has from the tree.
Then we get to the politically correct crap so we can all feel virtuous in our buying habit: "All veneers are sourced at specialized suppliers in Germany, which guarantee that these trees come from environment friendly sources and are exported/ imported legally." Just ask us. We'll tell you how honest we are, but we won't tell you when our veneers are fakes. Phooey.
Doggone it. Just when I was starting not to care.
