I love satin flame wraps, nice kitTale of two bands. And a kit pic. The tape on the reso head was there because we were striking things and I needed somewhere to put the tape for a second to grab something. In true adhd object impermanence fashion it lived on the resonant head for the whole summer.

Nice job! There is a local high school jazz band in my area who's teacher plays kit to conduct the band instead of standing at the front with the stick thing. They are very talented, a few months ago they played an annual jazz festival and pulled out the Cowboy Beebop theme, it was great.I had one o the most terrifying gigs in my life last Friday!!
got to school that morning and found out that 5 of my 9 front ensemble kids were out with COVID issues, including my drum set player. So,, the "show must go on", and I ended up having to play with them at halftime.
granted, I wrote all of the music, and those are all of my students, but that meant playing in front off, and with some of my harshest critics!!! It was a freaking blast in the end, and I a mso jealous that I didn't get to do this back in the 80's
I also have new found respect for my drum set kid too

How do you like that DW7000 pedal? I'm going to be picking one up probably today. All of my research shows it's basically the exact same pedal as the dw5000 when set up with the turbo cam instead of the accelerator cam and is currently being sold for around $130 instead of the 5000 currently being sold for around $300.Took some DW drums and Roland electronics out to the job today. Rounding out the rig are some 602s and the 5” N&C SS maple drum. Finally caught a nice day in Bakersfield. After weeks of 105+ degree temps, today was in the low-90’s.

Does that throne provide a nice, dry crack? I mean I mean the snare drum!Took some DW drums and Roland electronics out to the job today.

I offered to buy him a stand. Nope! It's a thing, I guess!man, why is it that guitarists in country bands just lean their guitars on things like that? Both of the guit players in my country band do that, and they always fall down! And they are not inexpensive guitars
but yeah, given the right temp, those are sometimes the best gigs

If I owned that Gretsch guitar and it fell over (which it has) I'd be sick about it.
So you're going full Evans across the board!at the hydraulic bass drum batter and the black dot floor tom batter the entire time, with eyes twitching and sweaty palms the whole time. LOL. Someday I'll be able to reconcile it.
