Re: Top 10 "household name" drummers
Not known for his drumming(though he did play on a lot of hits): Marvin Gaye. If some of these guys are allowed on the list, then he definitely deserves to be on it.

Re: What makes it real?
For me, each company(that isn't no name) has a kit in its catalogue that says, "This is the way we think drums are supposed to be built." This may not be the most expensive kit in their catalogue,...

Re: ...for the jazz cats ...
The more I listen to this, the more I agree with you. It's unbelievable how much of an influence this thread alone has had on what jazz I listen to.

I had never heard this before. Listening to it reminds me of drinking an entire pot of coffee in a short period of time. I'm captivated.

I think the arts have enough trouble getting funding and this incident would have caused trouble for another project or potentially your own- you did the right thing Bo.

Re: Got to try a Gretsch kit last night
Those 57 Renown Maples are pretty stellar. When they marked those down I snatched one up and I don't think I'll buy another set of drums for at least 5 more years.

I've been going through sidemen's discography of various albums and found this one. Jaki Byard is always great, and dare I mention Alan Dawson?

Re: Gretsch Renown: Maple vs '57
The Gretsch logo is built into the chevrons and isn't removable. They're merely a thin aluminum material and bend very easily. There aren't any badges on my kit now that I've removed the chevrons,...

Re: Sorry, I've undone the vibe.
As the owner of both a 22" Bounce Ride and a Ludwig Atlas flat base stand, I can honestly say that it works quite well and I've never felt like it wasn't sturdy enough.
