What a nice gift from you both. I'm sure he'll never forget it either. Well done.

This is the kind of story that should be told in the local newspapers and on the TV stations, rather than the garbage we hear all the time. I guess we need to know what's going on, bad and good. But, if kids heard about this kind of thing more often, there would be a lot more 26 year olds with the selflessness you and your brother have displayed.

I can't wait to see pictures! I hope you will stick around the forum and I hope you can talk your dad into joining us as well!

God bless you and your family!

Thanks for the kind words, my dad has raised me right I suppose. Lord knows he has sacrificed more then his fair share for us, including ending his professional drum playing days to make more money for a family, and I put both my parents through there fair share in my younger days. 16-22ish.Cool Dude

If anyone comes across rare drums to this set or has any leads let me know. Only thing I think he needs is some smaller toms 10'' and under and a snare drum. His whole kit besides the new drum is in the 900,000's but I don't think it will matter much when it comes to hard to find ones for that kit.

I wish we could have waited, but I guess thats the youth in us, but with everyone having different work schedules I wanted everyone to be a part of the excitement!

The drum got here yesterday, and wow it is in great shape. Whoever owned this drum took care of them just like my dad.:D

He bought a flying tom a few years back to add to his set, and this drum is within 10,000 of its badge number.

Is there anyway I can post a decent sized picture? I still haven't figured that out.Eye BallEye

Glad to hear it came in and in good shape!

I haven't posted many pics, but you generally have to size them down. Doing that is different on different computers. I know on a Dell, you open the pic, right click on the pic, select Resize Pictures and it gives you some size options. On my wife's Mac, I have to open the pic, click Tools at the top, click Resize File (can't remember exactly what it is, something to do with "size"), and it gives you size options.

I hope you can figure it out, I'm sure there are a lot of us that would like to see your pics!

I'll probably do a link then, so they can be full sized. I'll show a few of that drum, when the weather is nicer, we will get the full setup.

Here's a link to some pictures my Dad took last night at his gig.

Enjoy!
