Thanks to the hundreds of drum customers that have purchased edrum products

through ebay & directly from me these past 5+ years that I have been reselling

Roland components & hardware, & DIY parts for edrum projects.

Roland's hired legal henchmen continue to intimidate & manipulate the availability of specific products they claim to hold patent(s) on. Their henchmen recently resorted to having my ebay auctions canceled through ebay's VeRO program. I will be protesting this action with ebay.

Unfortunately, Roland just filed a patent infringement suit in Los Angeles against UFODrums.com
