Make/Color Question Last viewed: 4 hours ago

Posts: 254 Threads: 42

OK, it's late, after a night in the studio, the only drummer around, nobody to talk drums to, so I have a question to my drum brothers. When you think of any vintage drum company what drum covering comes to mind FIRST for that company? I'll put my short list but I want to hear yours. I'm 57 so it's from my time frame.

Ludwig - Black Oyster Pearl - Ringo of course.

Slingerland - White Marine Pearl - Buddy, Gene

Rogers - Red Glass Glitter - Dave Clark Five

Gretsch - ? WMP

Camco - ?

What do you think?

How can anyone think of anybody but N.Peart when you see a big set of red Tamas?

Or John Bonham and an amber set of Ludwig vistas?

Anytime I see a Bubinga or Ebony drum I think sonor Sigs..

Interesting lists guys. I would have guessed everybody would have said BOP for Ludwig but only two did. Everybody who mentioned Slingerland said WMP, the most consistent response. That was fun, maybe we should try the first Playboy centerfold that comes to mind. Clapping Happy2
