i'm personally a vic firth fan... a pair of vic firth 5As cost about SGD20 in swee lee... a pair of vater 5As is about SGD14... this is the homework i've done to share...
depending of what brand you buy...
vater will be cheaper in singapore... cause the RRP in US is USD14, if you buy in bulk or during promo maybe cheap from US...
vic firth is about the same about USD14 RRP in US but swee lee is sell at SGD20 which is obviously not worth it...
anyway... i'm a she... not a he...
