Another Yamaha Custom Sighting

December 13, 2020

Has it really been over a year since my last post? Huh, at least nothing notable has changed since then… With the border between Canada and the U.S. closed for the last nine months, the opportunity to buy a drum in the States and have it shipped to Ogdensburg has disappeared.

June 5, 2019
