A very nice guy named Sam, or @premjj  has picked up the torch from me and is covering the November sales on VI:Control.  He's doing the freebies on this page.

which is where I found this.

And he's doing the full list here:

As with my old Tiger the Frog post, there are some good things to find in these posts that are worth putting up on this forum.

In the old days, when I was really into Middle Eastern music, I definitely would have bought at least one of these.  Darbukator Extreme II for $45 sounds good.
