BNB,
I used to live in the Bay Area and I would love to go play those bad boys, but now I'm 5000 miles away! His site lists several shops where he sells. If you do get a chance, let us know what the feel and sound is Bro!

I bet if you stare at those beauties long enough, you'll make the drive- lol. They truly are visually stunning. I played a pepperwood solid shell ashiko YEARS ago in Portland that had awesome tone. We'll see...
KC,
I'm definitely looking at Ritmos and SOS as well as Volcanos and Islas. The shipping issues with the Islas may be simpler for me because I'm in the Caribbean region so no US customs and whatnot; plus they do sound NICE and have a great price. One thing I'm wondering is if the Mahogany will stay truer over the years than Northern woods because I'm in a very similar region, heat and humidity wise. Any idea?
KK,
I agree with the consistency issue w the MLs. They are nice looking though. The sound is a bit loose and large for what I want, from the vids (could be the mic'ing too). I love the tight, woodsy tones of the Islas for instance, and the round melodic tone of the Volcanos is nice too. Played some VPs a while back, in Hawaii and they are gorgeous and alive! Gon Bops- I'm playing GB now as my gigging drums- Love Them, but the hardware just dies in our salt air, man. I need stainless, definitely!
I'm gathering info, saving $ and want to get a 3-4 tub set by busy season here, Novemberish and this forum is endlessly helpful in so many ways.
Peter said he'll send a video or post it on his site or maybe we'll hear from our man, BongosNotBombs with a sudden trip to Petaluma!
Here's the retail shops- a couple in The City!
