Check out the guy's $150.00 snare drums that he charges $700.00 for and
then look at the price for the throne! There really must be MANY suckers
born every day for this guy to be selling this crap! :-)

I've never heard anything but good things about Jim Petty as repair person,
vintage parts re-creator and all-around drum craftsman. I mean I can
understand thinking a guy's prices are high, but you'd think you guys had
never seen an overpriced snare before.
This "look at the moron" sneer-fest that Rob and others have got going is
getting real old, if you ask me.

Well said. If someone thinks a drum or whatever is over-priced, don't
buy it!!! Don't waste space 10 times a day by posting whiny messages
about this choad, this crack-smoker...
That still doesn't justify calling anyone, let only Jim Petty "a REAL Crack
smoker".

The fact of the matter is you're just jumping on the bitch fest that has
started here the last couple months. A few people have decided to devote
several hours a day scouring ebay & other websites trying to find stuff
they can complain about. If you think it's overpriced then don't buy it.
I've dealt with Jim Petty on a couple occassions and anyone who HAS dealt
with him knows how good his work is & doesn't piss and moan about it.
His bearing edge work is second to none and he makes the best repro drum
parts available. If you want a Spaun, buy it. But don't put down
somebodies work when you don't have any first hand knowledge of it.
Hey Mark, I don't think this was originally regarding an auction. I
believe Rob found it on Jim's website. I wish I had the time to sit and
look up auctions non-stop!

David,
I humbly apologize. I see now that we all must go through life with Rose
colored glasses and NEVER point out an injustice, con job or ANY other Bullshit
in the world. Seeing that ALL you have had to contribute lately is troll
detritus, you are now unceremoniously in my kill file. I NEVER said a thing
about this guy's repairs. I was commenting on his $100.00 worth of parts snare
drums and his inane meandering about how sharp his tools are. Bye Bye Butchy!
Thanks Shawn,
Once again you have contributed oh SO much to the world. BTW, you never let on
what you did for a living. What a sorry little troll fuck you are. Why not kill
file me like I do you? BTW, Roy Burns said he enjoyed the naked photos of you
giving Peter North a rim job from your wheel chair. HAHAHAHA
Did you have to get her parents permission to marry her? ):-p

I'm sorry lotionboy. I forgot that your idea of a contribution has to
be something negative and have the words choad, fuck or detritus in
it..

I'm did say what I do for a living, ages ago, but your peabrain
must've been to it's 12 word comprehension limit the day I posted it.
Of course we all know what you do for a living...read ebay auctions
that you have no interest in and post whiny messages in rmmp about how
the seller is a "crack-smoker."
> Why not kill

That's a pretty valuable killfile filter you use, one that killfiles
me and still allows you to read my responses.
BTW, Roy Burns said he enjoyed the naked photos of you

BWAHAHAHA. It's quite apparent that you have a raging 3 inch hard-on
for Peter North. I guess that your time in the pen had more of an
impact on you than any of us knew.
No worries. These threads get a mile deep so quick that it's
impossible to find anything anyway!

He's the only one I've found who has good repro Ludwig 60's rubber.
BTW guys, vintage canister thrones are fetching big bucks these days,
so thy would someone not make repros? I'd buy one if it looked exactly
like the ones Ludwig was making in 1965.

Better be careful Rob. Before you know it, you'll be the only person you

Yes, but have anyone turn the same scrutiny in your direction and ooo boy,
you scream bloody murder with the "troll-boy", "choad"-isms, insults, and
curses. You are not pointing out injustices, you are simply insulting and
slamming people in the hopes of inflating your reputation - at least in
terms of your reputation as a big deal on this Usenet group.
So kill file me, Rob. Why should I care? You hardly ever post anything about
music or actually playing the drums, and I certainly don't care that some
awful person is over on ebay "without a clue" trying to sell something for
$10 more than you think he should.
Never having heard you play, I still get the impression that you know what's
up musically. My parting advice is to let go of all this negative energy
towards people and focus on music.

"I was so messed up this morning, I jumped on my tractor backwards and
unplowed 40 acres."
J. Wilson
The main reason that I posted at all in this thread wasn't really to call
out Rob on it, as I've become well aware that that would be a total waste of
time (which from his post, it obviously was). But instead to kind of point
out to the others, who seemed more than willing to jump in on the joke, that
the joke (and I must call it a joke, as someone asking too high of a price
for a snare or a throne isn't exactly a major threat to the drum community)
was in poor taste and served no purpose but to slam someone for, I guess,
kicks. I found this sort of group/mob behavior in poor taste in junior high
school, and find it even more so in a group of this kind. Sadly this has
become representative more and more of the prevalent tone on RMMP. This is
certainly not entirely Rob's fault (though he would certainly qualify as one
of the movement's poster-boys).
In general concerning RMMP, I guess I'm more disappointed than anything.
I've spent most of my life being with musicians. I married a musician. I've
really done nothing since I was 12 but be a musician and hung with
musicians. And from rock bands to pit bands, big bands to symphony
orchestras; from film dates to horrible bus tours; from middle of the night
hip-hop programming sessions to gigs with old-fart semi-retired dixieland
players; not to mention years of this online stuff - through all of it, it's
sad to find in this group of fellow drummers, more than anywhere else, so
many that seem to be so negative towards their fellow players, so willing to
jump to the bad conclusion, and so willing to be derogatory and abusive (to
the point of personal insult, even of those they don't know from Adam). I'm
just finding sifting through the posts each day a more and more distasteful
task - and I'm becoming sure I could find better things to do with my time.
Anyway JMT, thanks for your comment. This really wasn't aimed at you
specifically, of course. Just venting some thoughts that have been building
for awhile. You have a nice holiday.
