Epifani

After Rob and I finished up at Fodera, we dropped in on Epifani, a really high end cabinet manufacturer who just happen to be in the same building, one floor down. I've been lusting after their cabinets for sometime now, particularly their Ultralight series.

There are a similarity between the gear that drummers have to lug around and the gear that bass players get to carry -- it's big. However, drums tend to be bulky and light -- bass rigs are big and heavy. Trust me, I've had to carry my gear up and down stairs for years. Well, the nice folk up at Epifani have created a top notch cabinet that weighs about a quarter as much as a regular cabinet does. And that sound wonderful to me.

The two of us dropped by, met Frank and Nick (the main sales guy and the president of the company, respectively), played through a few cabinets, talked about the state of the art and the industry and then left with a few new entries on our wish lists.

I'd love to do that, but I've got another item or two that I need to purchase before getting a new cabinet.
