Dave Smith, honorable businessman

Clarity, transparency, humility, and a generous approach to making things right.

Of the many things one is paying for when one drops $3500 + tax on an instrument, I'm glad to hear that these 4 qualities are also included.

Cheers to Dave Smith and the Sequential PR Team for how they are handling this.

GEAR:
  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer
  • Roland SH-101
  • Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer

I like that he admitted he lost all his top end hearing in the 60s... gld I didn't decide to splash out for a revIV right awaythough... I have dreams of buying the proph10

I like that he admitted he lost all his top end hearing in the 60s...

"I saw a bunch of cool bands before you were born" is better than directly age-shaming oneself. I don't think anyone makes it to 70 with all the hearing they had in their 20s. Just a fact of life.

... I have dreams of buying the proph10

Dream that dream Jim! It's a good one.

Also... Dave goes to Movement annually?!? As if I didn't respect this guy enough already...

"There's a couple of shows and things we do like to travel to. One of our favourites is the Movement Festival in Detroit. It's all three days of techno music and we have a whole lot of DJ friends and we just go and it's an absolute blast. It's just so much fun and we couldn't go this year and it's so sad but anyway, soon we hope."

It's a depreciating asset with big insurance premiums... best to unload it once the right "open box" price comes along. :D
