Another really stupid deal of the day!

Post by MIDI Life Crisis »

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid

Original price $25.99. Today's sale price? $25.99!

Butt wait~ order now and we'll include a second wood snare for just $25.99, plus shipping and handling.

Limited to junk on hand. Not available in all states of mind. Price may vary at will (ours). You must be over 5 years old to understand the difference between the sale price and the regular price. No rain checks!

...and it comes in Black*!


*they never explain what the asterisk is for. Perhaps just plain ol' "Black" is somehow confusing. :roll:

The description of the snare on MF:
This Savage Snare Drum delivers a jaw-dropping value. It is a 10 lug, 5-1/2" x 14" wood snare drum for an incredible price. It has an externally adjustable internal dampener for the batter head, which gives you control over unwanted frequencies. It also looks great with its glossy black finish adorned with chrome lugs and hoops.
Notice there is not a single solitary word describing how it sounds? Coincidence? :mrgreen:
