Sorry, I meant the DFP9415. I talked to a Yamaha rep and she told me it was from Japan, the last one before it was discontinued.

Recently they've switched to China, I think. HAHA

yup they did switch to china. hence my dfp9500d there wrote made in china good thing i sold that bugger off n get myself a deedub. hehe

has anyone tried XM drums ? how was it? planning to get one soon

I wouldn't bet the house on that

It's not made in USA either (I'm assuming yours is the higher end ones, 5000 series and above), at least not entirely. It's assembled in USA, and some critical parts are made in USA, but where the rest of the parts come from I didn't manage to read anything concrete on that.

I was doing reading up on the net and checking out pedals a few years back when I wanted to replace my Tama ICs. So this is from my understanding back then. Nothing wrong with being made in China, just don't let the marketing make a fool of ya.

nah its not because its made in china that i sold it off. its because that pedal...well the beater would always go out of place..and the other reason would be I try tweaking it out here and there. But still, I cant find the right feeling for it..lagipun its a direct drive..tidak biasa..haha

thats y im going back to chain. haha.

Even starclassics right now are being made in china..haha except for the omni tune la.

Ahh, I see. I thought otherwise. But still, its a great pair of doubles!

I'm planning to switch to Speed Cobras or maybe the Axis longs, because my feet are rather big, and I've always wanted to try playing heel-toe more comfortably. HAHA

u know what they say about big feet...

Guys I wanna ask is it possible to get Mapex Falcon in Malaysia? So far I search mostly Elims,IC or SC only

What's your budget mate?

below 1000..can make it..

Try searching for used...That's how I got my kit

u mean buying online?? i not dare to coz being cheated before.. or u noe any shop sells used kits?

Try arranging for COD. (You go the seller place and see if u're satisfied then buy it) Not sure about shops but I know one guy who sell used kits...try searching Noob Axe Guitars On Facebook.

how do you guys silence your drum kit :S or do you have a vdrum for practice.. im planning to get my own drumset (i usually go play at a jamming studio) but am a little concerned about the noise to the neighbours.. especially when i play metal songs mostly haha.

Use mesh heads/mute pads

hmm.. cnt find this guy on facebook.. the cheapest how much i can get a used kit.

Here's NoobAxeGuitars used kit it depends...roughly 2-3k. Go search around the trade zone for musical instruments.
