I think I do. The one with the red balls and the fade (or is it wah without the other wah?) effect.

Regardless, it’s a great groove and jam. It’s clear the lyricism and flow is tight. Love live hip hop groups.

If it’s the flexing bell tone, it’s called a flex a tone.
I played percussion in the band I was in. I’ve still got a silly amount of percussive instruments.

Looks like a vibraslap combined with a theremin!
Those balls control the "width" of the ring..
We had one of those in High School band.
I've HEARD that sound in other songs..
The name.. eludes me.

If the crap does hit the fan and let’s say something goes wrong with importing goods, what will people who swear by akadama use. I bought some recently to try this spring, but seriously would you have to start over looking for new soil.

I guess the good ol 8822 and turface will be in short supply

Haha, I guess we better start stocking up

100% pumice would be my backup plan...

Sounds like a solid plan, I have been stocking up on pumice for awhile now so I think I should be good. My mix now isn’t very common, at least I don’t think so

Ok, finally all caught up.
So, what I'm hearing is;
I need to buy an old fishing vessel, retrofit it for early 20th century style cargo carrying, and get into old-school charter shipping along with my trucker friend
Put together a map of all the old mines and quarries in the area, and build a small kiln for processing clay and other soil materials in my backyard
We spend all year processing soil components, then over the winter we truck it to a small time fishing port on west coast Indian reservation where we load it onto the boat and take to @River's Edge, where, being the only well stocked supplier in North America, he can afford to pay us quite handsomely.
Retire in 3 years to a modest mountain estate to raise sheep and cool trees in pots.
I like this plan.

Actually supply and demand being the key factor, already being well supplied will drive the price down. Soil products are expected to be packaged to certain standards and tax applied/ collected at the border! So I get the suggestion to use small boats, unfortunately it is no secret that others use that mode of transport.

Not a new idea for sure. Do you have a source for Japanese bonsai pots? Those are in short supply. We have pumice mines and lava mines locally this side of the border.
PS: I am pretty sure the Coastal highways are under continual surveillance for small boats moving up and down the cost so you can expect visitors aboard. With commercial marine requiring AIS the task of tracking is fairly simple. Check out the app Marine Traffic to see how effective this is today!
I believe this is the result of others having thought of this distribution method for other more high value products.
Historically it has been booze, cigarettes and other life style vices. Do Bonsai pots qualify as a lifestyle vice?
If you get the pot's to the coast, I can pick them up.

It’s a damn shame when we have to turn into pot smugglers to get our pot fix…. Tisk tisk tiskActually supply and demand being the key factor, already being well supplied will drive the price down.
