yeah i ordered one. the big surprise was that he had some extras made -- usually they're made to order but he said he anticipated some extra orders for xmas and made 3 drums in advance, so he shipped it the day after i faxed him my credit card info (another big surprise -- most of the european early instrument makers only take bank transfers and there's always hassles getting stuff shipped to the states from what i hear). took about 3 weeks to arrive but that's not too bad considering it was during the holidays.

it's loud as shit. and i already went to guitar center and ordered a hard case (20x12, no one keeps that size in stock) for it so i can fly it.

yikes. sounds trecherous. anything i can do?
