Hey DA,

Thanks for the info. I like the way the new mounting system looks compared to that giant sheild rims mount that hides the drum.

When you said the price was half of the Customs, the first thing I thought was that, well then, they were just overpriced Renowns. A few questions if you know the answers:

Where are the shells made? Is it N. American maple or Asian maple? Is this "maple blend" the same maple-gum shell as the in the Custom and USA Maple shells?

Thanks.
