How does your Moperc requinto sound compared to the other drums you've had?
A major difference with my Moperc is I have to tilt it to let the sound out, or else it sounds like an erupting volcano.

This is what my drums will look like.
I went with the salsa club model because of its unique hardware design.
Here are more photos of Michel's operations.

Mike, Originally I wanted the salsa clubs, but in the end went with the Cubanos. The salsa clubs remind me of the Meinl Floatunes, but with a slim design. Man those floatunes were heavy!! You will love the Moperc hardware.
When its time for shipping, be on top of it, his broker is slow, and can hold the transfer down to the US. Michel sends it to his broker, then the broker works up a export with UPS.

The only caveat is that the package can't be over 50lbs total weight. I had every one of my SOS drums sent to me (in Canada) that way from new york and even the super tumba came in under weight after being packed in a box. I've also sent a few drums to the US that way, never had a problem. Customer gets a tracking number and all is good. Moperc's are heavy, but they'll probably get by just under the wire.
I'll never use a shipping company and broker ever again!
