2 days is like a year on the internet. I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet. (My apologies if it has and I can't find it)

I guess this podcast just came out today. They're something I never listen to but this one was great to hear.

Great podcast. I had the pleasure of doing some business with Brooks last year. A real gentleman and by far the most knowledgeable person of all things Slingerland that I've ever come across. I knew that Charlie Watts has a substantial vintage drum collection, but I had no idea of the scope. Now I have a vision of it in a converted hangar similar to Jay Leno's Garage, complete with makeshift stages, studios, and a couple of drum techs on site. Maybe Charlie should have his own cable TV show too. :)
