I went to Guitar Center tonight to look at recent models of Roland V-Drums and examine double-bass pedals (direct drive and chain) - and though they were "open" (until 9pm), they had squat for inventory. They had a ton of cheap (e.g. Alesis) edrum kits in boxes and a (very) few acoustic kits setup, and none of the higher end Roland V-Drums. And their bass pedal test setup was totally devoid of working pedals. And not a single direct-drive pedal anywhere.

I recalled that the last time I went there (pre COVID), there was nobody working in the drum department then either and no inventory.

I'd heard these guys might go out of business and all I can say is: they deserve to. The whole point of going to (and buying from) GC is so you can see/feel/hear the product, but if they don't have any... screw 'em and buy from Amazon and send it back if you don't like it (I guess).

I've been a GC customer for 40 years but there's no reason to go there any more. Bummer.
