J viens d'acheter un kit vintage 66' Slingerland aux USA, difficile à trouver chez nous (europe/Belgium) j'étais resté sur l'extraordinaire souvenir de ma Ludwig classic Marine de 1970(écusson OLIVE/BLUE) qui a -depuis-disparu(snif, snif!) j'espère que ce kit sera aussi BON qu'il est BEAU. Spend a nice day everybody, Phil.

latestbig purchase, some lewitt LCT 040 matched overhead microphones for when i can finally record again! :) also bought 8 XLR cables, a mic stand, and a double mic holder for the stand. next big purchase will be the recording interface when they become available again.
 
About as close to Mardi Gras as I will probably get. A week or two ago, through GC, I purchased a Pearl Session Studio Select birch/mahogany shell pack in Black Halo Glitter, which are special orders. Was going for white Marine pearl but when I found out this was a lacquer finish, I opted for this one. They gave me July as far as when it comes in, sizes are 22bd 10t 12t 14ft 16ft.
While I am waiting on my shell pack, I managed to get these from reverb, 7x8 and 9x13 rack toms.
Beautiful on the outside and bonus, I love the look of the mahogany interiors just as well. I can’t wait to put CS dots on these.

Just dropped a check in the mail last weekend for a Carolina Drumworks 7 X 13" Birdseye Maple snare drum.

I have a 7x13 - that size is freaking magic. That snare looks like it'll be awesome man.

These are awesome drums. and I was always a bit disappointed I didn't purchase a five piece set of these on clearance in the mid 90's at a local music store when I had the chance. They too, were also Sequoia Red, one of my all time favorite finishes by Pearl . They look to be of square dimensions. What sizes are they? Enjoy!
 
I picked up a Gretsch USA Custom 6.5" x 14" Bronze snare.

Not the exact one in the pic - but that model.

Just finished assembling what was my small kit, and is now my main kit...

I got 2 Yamaha Power V Special toms and the tom tree to go with, and a Zildjian A 17" Rock Crash that fits with my other cymbals really well.

Pleased. :)
 
I ordered another Roc 'n 'Soc seat for one of the bases I bought a while ago.

I also go this in the mail yesterday.

Trick Driveshaft for my Pearl P902. It's an early Father's Day gift from my wife. She ordered it yesterday, should be here wed/thurs. I have been waiting years to have one of these.

Guess I better work on her kitchen some more.
