It's an Ambex YM-2K, about 4 years old, that I bought from a member in IL who doesn't hang around here much anymore, barko78. It's great fun, roasting w/ my big-boy pants ;-), and I'm glad I learned to understand some of the principles of roasting w/ the SC/TO over the years before jumping into this arena. But I need to learn a lot more about airflow to take full advantage of this drum. And to top it off, rather than have it sitting around most of the time, I'm about to launch a website to hopefully make better use of my baby. I just didn't want to post all this in its own thread when I bought it back in October, and give anyone the impression that I was being boastful or anything, and felt this little thread would ease me out of the closet.
