Is that something that, looking back, you would have liked to experience in a more "academic" setting? Or are you glad that you were able to develop more freely and at your own pace, rather than having to meet a class assignment deadline? A little O.T. here, but I was excited when I recognized So in the movie "(Untitled)". I wanted to stand up in the theater and shout, "Those guys are real, not a movie creation! They're So Percussion and you need to buy their recordings and see their concerts!" I apologize for not doing so... That's a little TOO out of character for me. Thanks.

I have used other makes in the past but nothing can quite match the all roundess and superb attenion to detail you guys put into everything you make. Keep up the good work and keep the exchange running I think it is a gr8 idea.
