RE: Percussion on Dutch Championships

I was one who responded and this seems a case in my point.

when one supplies equipment, it must be top line.

...this is simply being uncooperative and insensitive. To organioze
festivals, one must always be doing things to _help_ the running of the
event. Using one set of equipment does that, but only if one is
understanding and not dictatorial. 

The incident is sad, to be sure...but I still believe that the idea is a
sound one. It can really make for a smoother running flow.

It must be implemented with understanding for special circumstances,
however, not a closed mind.
