Sad to hear that you got burnt... :( Since I have one of the original
units myself I wasn't too interested in the clone, but only interested
in the fact that such cool drummer was being cloned.

So the mode machines is a reconstructed company then? Since they're
still out there I mean. Always good to know if something pops up. The
TBS-story I know, but wasn't aware that they were the same people behind
the different companies.
