Chicago Drum Show Weekend

Loading...

So, this is the weekend.....

I wanted to go but personal issues prevented that this year. Am chomping at the bit (sorry, southern saying) to hear all about it. So, for those members that will be lucky enough to attend please post some pictures and input about the show !

No Guru - I just love collecting & learning about vintage drums!

Some of my favorites from the kits in the collection
58 WFL New Yorker Blue Sparkle
67 Ludwig Hollywood Red Psychedelic
69 Ludwig Standard Red Ruby Strata
70's Ludwig BOP "Ringo" Kit

A few of my favorite snares
20's Leedy Black Elite
51 Leedy & Ludwig Knob Tension
58 WFL Buddy Rich Classic Blue Sparkle
63 Walberg & Auge Sea Blue Agave Green Pearl
66 Leedy Shelly Manne Blue Agate Pearl

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Well I had a good time sold most of what I wanted to, can't keep them all....

But as I see it less and less people come there looking for kits mainly parts sticks etc but a lot of them got sold internally to other sellers great show for me did not not have to bring a lot back home which is only 25 min away . On a sad note stupid is stupid does lost my nights templer drum head again like last year we will see if it turns up did not go back for final look..,,

That's bizarre! Talk about history repeating itself. Hope you recover it. Just the Ludwig stuff in front of your booth was yours, correct? Not that beautiful Rogers Cleveland bass just to the right in the pic? I would have snagged that.
