Did a 500 seater with the "Sinatra Show" and finally got this pic out of the camera. I grabbed this shot right after sound check. Many of you have seen these in the past, but there are many NEW here that haven't. Thought I might post 'em up! The particulars:
1965 Rogers Buddy Rich Celebrity's:
14X24
9X13
16X16
16X16
5x14 wood/WMP Dynasonic
All original hardware, including the Swivo-Matic bass drum pedal. Buddy!

Gosh Golly, I love the look of those. You could post those every week and I wouldnt get tired of looking.
My goodness ... that is such an amazing drum kit. What an honor it must be to saddle up behind it from time to time. My goodness ...
My Roger's Buddy Rich kit, all original, blah, blah, blah......
JUST KIDDING TOMMY!!! As always, she's a beauty to behold. How bout sharing how they sound with the rest of the boys here? I have been privy to hear them and they sound phenomenal!!
Kudos to you my friend!!
Man, those are great! I could never tire of looking at those, thanks!
Any sound files from the show?

... "what an honor it must be to saddle up behind it from time to time"... Allow me to address that quote: Seeing as I play/work darn near 80 nights a year, with the "Sinatra Show" gig covering approx. 1/3 of that.. ( and the other three groups filling in the rest ) .. and this set being my MAIN gigging drums, well... I sit behind these a lot MORE then "from time to time". I think it would be more accurate if it were YOU that got to saddle up behind them from time to time!
BBK!
Jeeze!... always squeezin' my man berries! LOL!! Wouldn't be you if you DIDN'T do that though! To have a complete set of 1965 Rogers BR Celebrity's, complete with WMP Dynasonic and hardware, is indeed a bit rare. They're just not out there! That is the main reason I show them every now and again.. plus .. I work so many different venues that it's neat to be able to grab some pics in the "gig zone". To address your other comment: Hmmmm... I could possibly supply a link to that, and just might! In the interim though... here's a pic of myself actually playing them. Same gig as the previous shot by the way... but during the actual show. Please be kind as I KNOW I'm hideous! The drums though...

Tommy: How did you get such big hands?
lol
Well Mr. Mania... let me start at the beginning:
You see, I was born very young... 2nd in a litter of three, and I was the one they kept! That said... mom said from day one that I had very large hands, and well... I guess it just went from there!
