Tanong ko lang sana if anybody know kung mura ba mga gamit sa Tom Lee Music sa Hong Kong or halos parehas din dito? Thanks...

[onori]

Ang mura sir yung mga sticks. Nung december I think 10% off or 20% off ang snares, not sure. nakalimutan ko. Yung mga vic firth sticks (signatures 80hkd, regular sticks 70hkd), so parang mga nasa 400-450 range lang. dito 750 bentahan e. hehe

[peeves24]

mas mura dun kahit di sale compared dito

[harugrugrug]

last january pa yan..
tulo laway ko,di sinita gf ko sa pag pipicture,pero nagalit siya sakin dahil di ko na siya pinansin nung nasa luob na kami,hehe
no sale that time pero it's really cheap.got my 14' new beat for 10k pesos and k splash for 4k pero syempre namasahe
ka papuntang hk so gumastos ka din,hehe.we went there kasi for a vacation,mas sulit kung may kakilala kayo na pupuntang hk
at makisuyo na lang kayo bumili,dun mo talaga masasabing sulit siya,hehe
di naman ako masyadong nag gas dahil yung starphonic na bibilin ko dapat e nakuha ko na kay pao before hk,hehe
thanks to pao and vinci sa tips sa hk,it's a blast,hehe,paghahandaan ko next time e mga ride cymbal lalo na yung dry ride!at baka crash na din,hehe

[eph]

tanong lang mga sir,
may nakabili na ba sa inyo ng large item sa tom lee? balak ko sana electronic drums. ang concern ko lang is yung tax na babayaran mo sa airport dito sa pinas. pano ba sistema sa ganun?

thanks

[musicianurse28]

Hindi ba mahirap hanapin to sa Hong Kong? Ermat ko nasa China ngayon kasama utol ko nagbabakasyon tas sa Lunes ata o Martes punta naman sila ng Hong Kong.. Baka pwede makahingi ng tips mga brothers! Laking tulong niyan..

[belsv]

aba ok to ah!

[harugrugrug]

pm kita chakky.
madali siya basta mtr(tren ng hongkong)
nakita ko dito yung detailed instruction,ibrowse mo dito sa thread.
at madali siya makita(main branch) look for hotel benito,dun na yun

i think 10 percent tax sa customs at kung kaya ng baggage limit mo yung electric drums,hehe,
sorry i just bought small cymbals,next year naman ako bibili ng ride at crashes,hehe

[peeves24]

actually 15% para sa electronics ang tax pero may mga add ons pa yun para tumaas yung price nung edrums mo. expect to pay around a total of 40% to 60% of the price you paid for the edrums. this is to ensure that you cant profit if you decide to sell your edrums later. pero syempre malaking factor pa rin yung swerte sa "random inspection" ng customs officers natin sa naia.

last year, i bought 2 crashes and a 21" ride from tom lee. the sales lady could not provide a box so she helped me find a noodle box from one of the stores around the corner. bumili na lang din ako ng marker at packaging tape dun sa post office sa kabilang street. binalot ko ng sobrang dugyot yung cymbals pero padded ng husto, pagdating ko dito sa pinas, di ako pinansin ng customs

smart move sir... i was there first week of feb... had a close look at the stewart copeland snare, yung nasa picture sa taas...kaso after computing everything i decided na it's not worth it kung di rin lang sale...kasama ko rin ang family ko so i can't expose them to this kind of hassle...it's already a stretch that they went walking with me to tom lee...instead i ended up buying a pair of sticks and a vic firth stick bag pakunswelo...

[peeves24]

magpupuslit ng snare? dali lang nun. remove the snare wire and the heads. ilagay mo sa maleta yung shell tapos saka mo palibutan ng damit. yung heads at wire, ipitin mo sa karton. kasyang kasya sa mid size na maleta ang 14x6. i did it with a starphonic

[nikogulo]

i bought a cymbal and cymbal bag in Hk. di naman ako pinigil ng customs, kahit bitbit ko. Just dont declare anything. be careful of the sharks in the airport. 

[metaura]

Pano ba bumili ng cymbals jan? Basta ba kuha lang sa display? Kasi galing me last nov diyan, kaso walang tao sa drum section e, kaya hanggang tingin nlang ako hehe

[IronCobra]

They're strict on jewelies and electronic items usually. Pag na tyempuhan ka, pwedeng scan yung hand carry mo sa xray machine.

95K lang lalabas TD15kv sa kanila, sa atin 150K. Mura talaga pag sale.

95k is way lower than 150k, pero you should carefully project the additional cost as sir peeves24 pointed out, kung plus 40% ok ka pa rin pero kung 60% na dito mo nalang bilhin, wala ka nang natipid...

dampot ka lang. pwede ka rin humiram sa counter ng sticks kung gusto mo mag test

there's a 50-50 chance na makakatipid ka - kung hindi ka pinansin ng customs e di at cost lang sa tom lee. kapag isa ka sa mga malas na tao sa araw na yun e sorry na lang. the question is, will you risk it?

[harugrugrug]

sa mga may kakilala sa hk magpabili na sa tom lee
20 off sa lahat ng items exceot sa ibang accessories
pero zildjian are 20% off paiste are 25% off
snare are also 20% off same with pedals e drums and drum sets

like if you buy a custom mastersound hi hat 14 inches it's around 2,300 hk dollars times 5.8 is 13340 pesos
since it's 20 off it;s just 1840 times 5.8 is 10672 pesos( prices depend on the exchange rate,i based it on czarina money changer,pero if you have means to get cheaper dollars then exchange it to hk dollars mas makakatipid ka just exchange you money in mirador mansion not on the airport forex

pero di ako bumili ng cymbals dun,hehe,oks nako sa cymbals ko.just bought a splash worth 2,900,hehe
and tested the jojo mayer pedal! not worth buying even thought it's sale price is around 11k.
hndi ko makitaan ng innovation,i'll just stick to my speed cobra.
if you got the chance to buy there is to snag some snares pedals and cymbals,makakatipid kayo,pero syempre kung makikisabay lang kayo dun niyo mararamdaman ang tipid, or bibili kayo ng madaming items,hehe pero kung pupunta kayo dun at bibili sa tom lee ng ilang piraso lang e hindi rin tipid in a sense,hehe.masarap din magbakasyon sa hk
pero you could snag some items that aren't sold to philippines,im was planning to get gavin harrison snare pero ioverspend sa ibang bagay,hehe

here's a limited edition snare just for tom lee's 60th anniv signed by mike portnoy,hehe,sorry wasak na bb lang camera gamit ko,pero when i get the slr of my gf ipost ko yung iba.
