Morning Violet!! Call me at home 1-860-651-9159 I'll connect you to Romano's phone number per his request. I'm home everyday at 4 I think that's about 9 for you. Some info for you. The September issue of drumhead mag is featuring RCI drums and Romano is working to getting other ads ready for the issue. I had suggested that you should be included and he agreed. That's why he told me to try and contact you. Take care!! JohnnyC
