Hello Everyone - I'm in the market for a mid-sized Chinese Drum (traditional - black - with red trim, brown top). I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas about where the best place to order one (in North America) would be.

Thanks for any help!

Vancouver is the best place.

Kuen Way Martial Arts Supplies:
6560 Victoria Drive
Vancouver, BC V5P 3X9
(604) 682-3329

I live in Toronto and there is next to nothing available as far as that goes. One or two shops, but nothing quite that measures up to the above.

In Montreal, there is even less and every where else has virtually nothing.

I've been to the Kuen Way shop though and it's loaded with goodies! It's a martial artists loveshop. :)

NO offense to Chris' suggestion, but Ao Qin lives mid continent and would get a better rate dealing with a canuck operation.

crikey, sorry about that.

Lemme do a followup check.

Hey, that number is the right one, it works.
here's their website: http://www.kuenway.com
they are still in business here's their page and pricing for the equipment.

leave a message at that number if no one answers. The answering machine will have a woman with a fairly strong accent, not so easy to understand, but there you go.

I sent an email to sales@kuenway.com I haven't gotten a reply yet, but it hasn't bounced back either.
