Can't be fixed. You don't pay enough to keep intelligent, experienced people, that are in it for the long haul. GC is a dumping ground for wanna be muso/recordists, with only a few exceptions , of some older cats that do QUITE well $$$, but know how to work the system.
Anyone serious about making money in that industry, could do really well through GC pro, just given the buying power of the machine. I do deal with some GC pro folks.

otherwise, GC is really a box store, and they are not interested in catering to "pro's". never have nerver will, as we're the guys that grind for less than cost, then complain the most. I just realize it "is what it is" and use GC accordingly.

Two things I'd prefer not to hear from an 18 yr old kid at the drum counter :

Don't call me "dude".

and don't ask me " how much I usually pay for my sticks". I WILL tell them "nothing" everytime... and by the time he runs that by his manager....

anyhow-- Props to Kevin Baby at GC San Diego. Solid dude, very customer service oriented, and know's his shit.

GC PRO had a real coup this year, pulling Glenn Noyes from W. La music, as Well as Derek Snyder. solid gear heads, and customer oriented..

so, you guys aren't all that bad.


oh yeah, Love the cute door girls that checks my purchases to the receipt... maybe add a pat down to the process, just incase I'm trying to smuggle that SM7 out in my pants?
