Hi All!
I'm just returning to drums after 30+ years away. I played in marching, concert, and 1st chair jazz drums in middle and high school, but as I got more serious about music I went with bass guitar as my main instrument, and spent around 8 years playing full time in bar bands. (You could do that in the early 80's).
Anyway I recently had the thought that I wanted to try drums again. I didn't want to invest a ton at first, since I wasn't sure how interested I would be, so I bought a Ddrum kit and a set of Meinl MCS cymbals.
I am having a blast! Within 2 months I've upgraded my cymbals, and bought a DW snare and double kick pedal.
I no threat to working drummers, but am amazed how much I retained. Unfortunately my mind memory retained better than my muscle memory, so I'll be a work in progress for quite a while...
Anyway here's the kit...
