    I am mainly posting this in hopes someone from Krom sees this and says, "That is not a bad idea," but would you guys buy a maple or ash "Pro Pop?" I really really Love my pop and think it is one of the best shapes out there but now I want one with a premium wood. I know the Slawdawgs hold the "Pro" position on the Krom line but I think it would be cool to see a mid-priced Pop around the same price as the Sweets Pro mods, any thoughts on this?

    Premium wood pops? That's a big yes

    I totally agree. It would be great to have a hardwood version of the pop.

    Hard wood versions are a nice touch to the inventory, but isn't the beechwood what makes the play better for the POPs? Softer wood should grab that rubber paint better.

    Agreed! Otherwise that paint would just get destroyed on a few sessions.

    I think that Krom just needs to do some lol clear paint on regular sized tamas. Think of the possibilities. Mostly Rez x slaydawg.

    If it were me, i'd like for Krom to :
    • expand the Pops to include Kromie editions (Bolf, Mastek, Theo, Lukas, Giulio)
    • Mix & match options for tama / ken (see below)
    • LOL Clear tamas as an option
    • Maple, Mahogany, Rubberwood, Ash options (ken-only, Pop design)

    These may not be able to adhere to the $20 price point, but it's good to have options sometimes.
