Hi Mike..hope you don't mind but I signed back into the DFO because there are some great deals I,d like to get in on. I don't plan on using the forum for much more than that...is that ok with you?...thx

Hi Mike
Hope all is well.
I was talking with John (Purdie Shuffle) tonight. We got to talking about the Ludwig Transition badge bop kit he had that was finished in the Gretsch Starlight Sparkle pearl. You have this kit now? The Gretsch drums are rare but another manufacturer kit in that finish is not seen often. Are there any pics up here? Thanks! Mark

up kinda late.

Hi Mike, that snare i got from you.....FREAKING ROCKS!!! that you very much!
