I enjoyed communicating with him, and spent some time schooling him (sounds pompous, but it's true) on the difference between fauxbinga and the real stuff. I know he has a kit of engineered (0)binga kit that he's trying to find a 13" tom for. Wonder how he ended up with this drum?

As figure goes, the photo shows a relatively plain veneer, but the flash brings out all the highlights, and that is why bubinga is such a fantastic wood on stage. It appears to be on fire under lights. Ebony, by comparison, looks like old seaweed, and I don't share enthusiasm for it. Apologies to Jeff ;)

:( We'll change my daughters name to Bubinga tomorrow :shock: :lol:
I kinda agree. Some of the Ebony I've seen is incredibly boring, the faux stuff is too consistent, but, the faux veneers look great on camera, and from several metres away :| .
Can't wait for the Siggy, shipment has been delayed, looks like late January :evil: .
On another note, the Studio has moved a little forward, and if all the neighbours have no issues, might be starting within a month :D

Interested in hearing detail of the progress on the studio.

You have zoning issues? Send out letters to everyone within 200 meters of your property line? Sounds awfully familiar. Have you started a campaign to inform the neighborhood of your plan?, and how they won't hear a thing? so they won't come to the zoning meeting and complain bitterly about loud, drug-crazed, drunken musicians chasing their daughters? :| :P

Sounds great, Jeff! Keep us in the loop. :) :) :)
