Re: Gregg Bissonette debuting Mapex Velvetone Black Panthers

I saw Steve White in clinic a couple of months back and his velvetone or similar was tuned so badly, like he didn't care, his whole kit was a bit crap, but the guy in support who did the first half hour (his first clinic too!) had a great sound using Mapex, just goes to show that we all have differe...
