Hey guys,
There is this cat that lives in my neighborhood that I have known for at least 35 years.
He was a drummer long before I was.
I bought my first drum set from him back when I was a teenager.
He hasn't really played the drums in the last 25 years or so.
He was at my house today helping me with some yard work and I was showing the Gretsch drums that I have been working on.
He says "Man! Gretsch drums are great. The first drum set I ever had were Gretsch."
I was like 'That's cool".
Then he said "I think they are still up in the attic at my moms house"
I said "Really? Can we go see them".
Then we went over to his moms house and climbed up in the attic.
He was moving boxes and crap and then he said "there they are".
He climbed down and told me to go get them.
I climbed up into the tiny attic and picked one of them up and turned it around and there was the Round Badge. :cool:
It is a 20" kick, 12"tom and a 14" cob snare.
He told me I could have them.
I was like: Walking
