Atlas Standard is the solution. In my experience, just changing the denomination symbol in front of the price is actually quite an accurate way of determining value. The exchange rate need not apply! It's a real shame that you don't have any mainstream indigenous makers over in Australia.
I'd imagine the used market is much smaller too and it's not exactly that you can go to too many cities to look at drums unless you're in NSW! Lovely place to live, though. My other half's sister is over there at the moment. At least in the UK we have a very good used market, small distances to travel and a lot of vintage Premier drums if we want something more esoteric! Heads are still far too expensive over here though. The time now is General Discussion General discussion forum for all drum related topics.

The One With the Cathedral. Send a private message to BacteriumFendYoke. B stock Ludwig drums do not have serial numbers on the badges. B stock drums have very small cosmetic problems which don't affect the sound of the drum. Since they don't sell them at full price, they don't put badged serial numbers on them. Perhaps they now use the other badge as well.

I just got a new LMt a couple of weeks ago, has the keystone badge, no number. They now have stickers on the inside with the SN. Don't know if they but numbers on keystone badge drums now. As a follow up, I called MDS, and they have a bunch of new supras with the keystone badges, none have number on the badge.
They all have serial number stickers on the inside.
