A couple other came to mind today: the Ludwig family, Cathy Rich singing and keeping Buddy's band going.

Great kit that looks like a lot of fun for the restoration process, then the pride & pleasure of swingin' or rockin' into the night!

While watching a documentary about "The Grapes of Wrath" I watched clips of both Arlo Guthrie and old recordings of Woody Guthrie from the 1930's in it. This got me to thinking about musical torchbearer's. Who else carried down a musical legacy?

They're difficult to control, they bounce all over the place if not clamped down tightly forcing you to really hone e in on your playing area and giving each stroke it's value. (maybe that's the idea)

14x6 Sonor Prolite maple. These are terrific snares.

Mid/high tuning. Will probably lean towards a coated head. Haven't tried Aquarian yet, I need to learn about them!

Enjoyable video to listen to and to watch!

And they're groovy...
