I think Copes has the Romanian drums (chicom type) for a decent price. Mine is Chinese but I've heard the Romanians are GTG. I have a Romanian (Russian type) and it works very well but I had to clean a ton of petrified cosmo out of it before it would. The good thing about the chicom design is that you can leave it loaded without the spring being tensioned. Good luck on the job hunt! We moved to the Wichita area about five years ago and like it alot. Let me know if you have any questions.
