Mr Dee is a fantastic drummer...However,I really like Phil Taylor's style & attack. Just listen to Overkill...It's mental!!

Here's the fun part... who says he's gonna sell it? All you people care about is resale value. Doesn't anybody KEEP a bass anymore? He put this work into getting what he wanted. I'm amazed something like this mod, a personal preference playability mod, gets so much flack over something like Dane do...
