You,d be surprised how little difference that makes to a drummer that knows how to play.You certainly would,nt hear the difference....Look at an old set of golf clubs.In the hands of a "golfer" He /she can place the ball where its supposed to be...regardless the age of the club.

Hit like you mean it!!

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.

Gorgeous drum! I know the wood on my late 40's RK is the most beautifully seasoned Maple I've ever worked with & the craftsmanship is impeccable!

You know guys with all the "hogs" & "hawgs" around here, we could invite Miss Piggy over & have us a BBQ!...I'll dig the pit!

Sweet drum Tommy! All you need is one die-cast hoop for the top. That's one great, special snare drum. I'm [COLOR="DarkGreen"]green[/COLOR] with envy. Now I'll have to get me one!

Great score.

John

Too many great drums to list here!
