Good stuff johnnyringo!

Kit looked and sounded great, and look at you going all traditional grip! Guitar player had some SRV goin on there to. Woh, and the singer was putting out some soulful sounds man! Nice!

Keep em coming johnnyringo!Clapping Happy2

Thanks Jimmysticks! That song was done by an all female band in the 20's. Leslie, the lead vocalist, was notorious for finding obscure songs that no one else was playing.

Btw, that was made about five years ago and Leslie is now the principal at a school in Midland, Texas.

Here's another from about 10 years ago with a different band. I'm playing a bdp Rogers.

Now you know why they used to nail the bass drum to the stage sometimes - in the distant past of course.

Nice Zep cover johnnyringo.

One question though, who is/was Brook Mays?

They were based out of Dallas,Texas, the Rogers were imported drums. All maple shells with the beavertail lugs. They were sued by First Act music for slander and I believe they went out of business.

I've owned a few of their Rogers kits and they were well made, not like the crap Yamaha was putting out.

Party

Thanks, I learn something new everyday around here!Yes Sir

Me too, it seems you're the only guy here who appreciates hearing some of us actually playing our drums.Keep on PlClapping Happy2Cool1LoLoLoLo

And unfortunately your the only guy that shows them.

This forum is great, and I've learned a heck of a lot in a short time, but it runs hot and cold. A few threads get a lot of interest and go on forever, and others get one or two responses and die. There's no rhyme or reason it seems. I'm over on the cymbal sub forum trying to stir some interest and gain some info on my recent Kashian cymbals purchase, but it seems that forum only talks about $1000 vintage K's. Interesting, but there is life beyond very expensive old Zildjians (I thinkCool Dude)

Your one of the good ones around here johnnyringo. You keep it interesting. You stir the pot, and you take the heat. Keep up the good work!Walking

Rant over! Now, when you selling that great Ludwig kit?Yes Sir

... And unfortunately your the only guy that shows them ...

JS!

I highlighted that portion of your reply/post as I will speak to it directly: We are NOT that type of forum! It's that simple! David's concept from day one .. and I have been here in this capacity since then, which was back in 2005 ... was to feature the discussion and exchange of info, pics, media, etc., but not so much the members playing. It's just not what he wanted as he felt there were plenty of other places that could feature that, but very few to none that are set up like the VDF. The membership .. to their credit .. have respected that. Now, that doesn't mean JR can't put up vids of him playing here and there .. as he certainly does! .. nor does it mean that I will automatically DELETE said content .. I don't .. it simply means everyone is pretty much staying within the parameters of David's concept. As to the "traffic" and participation on the VDF: That has been addressed!, and quite recently at that. I will offer this though: Seeing as you are a NEW member, having joined in 2019, you missed the hey-day of the VDF when it was positively crankin' busy ... and that went on for years too! Today, forums per se have kinda fallen out of popularity a tad, and as I have mentioned many times ad nauseam, Facebook is the biggest draw away from the once thriving forums, and for the record, I am not a big FB fan, although it has it's place in the drum world, based entirely on the membership and participation numbers. Anyway ... perhaps this shed a little illumination on both subjects for you!
