Up until recent years the world DID revolve around us.

In my opinion it's the duty of patriotic Americans to try to regain that status ..... and not play second fiddle to no one!

Quite often it's the quality of the Chinese product and the importer goes along with it.

To me, a proud American, a product from Australia is just as foreign as a product from China; except maybe with a better expectation of quality.

i believe the term you were going to use was The Asian manufacturer...no need to take a topic that is very legit and add condescending comments about people and races.

My question was " Any one using Mel Gross Drums now and any comments"

It seems to me that the answer is that no one has had any problems and the opinion of others is to buy American to support America made products.
That is all i asked and don't want this to get nasty by making un-necessary comments about someones race.
I value everyone's opinion very much but it is not needed to make comments about other races or creeds.
Brent thank you for your explanation and all others. I will take the information and use it to make a decision.

Thank you FordBarners!

Sorry, Mark, I'm not a p.c. person. I'll go back and change them all to Mr. Wong, a common Chinese name.

Fellas, we don't allow racism of any kind on this forum. If that's a problem, you are gonna want to find another forum to frequent. You won't be here long.

Ryan beat me to it fellas - I deleted some sentences from a few guys posts for that reason or some disrespecting sentences that would fuel members responses.
If your post was edited - please re-read Ryans post above.
Thank you.
