I just had to say something about this... I'm all for supporting your local economy and especially the music/drum shop of your choice but it really aggravates me to see these places trying to rip people off. I can definitely see why so many people end up shopping online, eBay, etc.
This all started when I went out of town recently for a couple weeks. Sometimes I like to check out the local music shops as you never know when you might find that gem you have been looking for. No good deals to report on this trip but I did find one shop that was selling drumsticks for $15/pair. I mean NONE of them cheaper than $15. They also had these ZBT cymbals for something like $180. As well as a Sabian B8 pack for $400. Now, I wouldn't shop for these items myself, but it appeared these guys were really setting out to rip off kids just starting out with the drums. This is just despicable to me.
Anyone else ever experience this?
