My white drums dont blacklight very well.

I do love them so. And they have this vibe to them my Pearl's dont have. I cant really explain it, other than the drums have personality.Those purple Premiers look right at home in there.
It makes me happy knowing how much love you bestow upon those drums. One of the few good decisions I made last year.
Must be that ”cold press” molding process.I do love them so. And they have this vibe to them my Pearl's dont have. I cant really explain it, other than the drums have personality.

I'll miss playing to the clouds, trees, birds and squirrels.
I wish I could convey how satisfied I am playing drums there now. The atmosphere gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. It feels like home.The walls look great. I would always feel bad for you facing the corner. I don't feel bad for you anymore. Well done
The Pearl's have a manufacturing rigidity that I dig. It makes perfect clones, and as someone who builds stuff, I respect that. They sound good too. You will hear no complaints from me about the quality of my Pearl drums, either set.Must be that ”cold press” molding process.
Wow. Slingerland still around? When I first started to play drums in 1967 at 16 years old, Slingerland, Ludwig, Rogers were the Big 3 that I remember. Tama, Yamaha and many others came later. I had to stop playing in 1969. Me and 2 HS buddies who were learning our instruments, playing one guy's house basement (me and the other guy lived in apartments nearby with our parents). When we graduated HS that June, we eventually went separate ways. I had a cheapo brand - don't remember - purchased from the Music store where I first took lessons (8-10). I returned to Drumming in 2019 after my wife gifted me a cheapo Gammon kit for Xmas 2018. Now as a Retiree (may 2021), I play about 1 hour a day to My Music for enjoyment.I have a room in the house and a set in the garage .View attachment 128804
