Paul,

They seem to offer some interesting products and mounting options. 
The snare has pitch blending and rim to pad adjustments, which are 
normally found inside modules--probably because Sherpa defaults to 
Alesis, for obvious reasons. If their gum-rubber response and is as 
good and as gentle as they say it is, they are well worth serious 
consideration. Do we have any Canadian members near them. (CALLING 
ALL CANADIANS). It would be fun to get our hands on something.
