MY Tokai Love Rock had not been produced from mahogany, and has no maple cap I think, just a flame maple veneer, which looks great, but has no effect of the sound. Hoever, it's pickups are decent, en…
Sabian Xs20 Rock Hats 14" - "Expected worse from hats with rock written on them. "
I recently acquired those hats because they were gifted to me with a whole lot of drum stuff (including a 1964 Ludwig drum kit). I was sceptical at first since I thought writing rock on a cymbal was …
Brière Pedals Drive Factory - "Great Sound and Plenty of Options, from Clean Boost to Heavy Distortion"
