That reminds me of when I was a kid (but I didn't get my first kit for Christmas, I had to work for mine!). My dad couldn't handle the "noise." So I could only practice when he wasn't home. Even though we lived on a farm, we did have a neighboring farm house across the road... and they said they always knew when my dad wasn't home... :)

Christmas was great for me... my grown kids got me the Ludwig, Slingerland, and Rogers Rob Cook books! More useful info than I imagined!

Jeff -- did that ROP patch show up?

No, have not seen the wrap yet. I do have the Presidents all polished and set up, I will post pictures very soon. When I got my first drum set my dad built a "drum room" in the basement using walls from a walk in cooler. They had aluminumn skin with a foam core about 6" thick. He covered the inside of the room with carpet pad. It worked pretty darn good. My dad, the other Red Green.

I will keep my eyes open for the wrap, and thank you once again for sending it, I wont forget it.

reminds me of my first toy kit at 8years old even looks like it

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





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.

Cute and funny. What what the value of that Mickey vintage kit is?

I don't what it would be worth. The kit is long gone.

I do know that it came from Noble & Cooley. The only way I know this is from this picture:

the print of Mickey drum head is hanging from the ceiling above the man with the red sweater.
