"builds their drums by hand in Japan"

This leads one to believe all their drums are built in Japan. In today's globalized world few companies build all their products in the home nation's or just two nations. Drop 900 bucks on a set of Yamaha Stage Custom Nouveau Standard and you got "Made in Indonesia." Says so in the second link. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product?sku=445692 http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/3/4/6/392346.jpg Probably made by the same companies that make other makers lower-mid range stuff. Not saying anything is wrong with this drumset. I'd like to have a set but their marketing is misleading and has been cut and pasted in to the article.

Rogers introduced a ball and socket mounting system before yamaha.

[edit] Reads like an ad

Much of the text seems lifted from marketing materials. In general, it reads less like an article and more like an ad. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.198.190.154 (talk) 12:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC).
