Enjoy indeed -- those are stunning! Your opening photo with the black background is a cut above what I'm used to seeing in drum brochures.

THANKS rstange1! Glad you liked! All those pics were taken in "the gig zone", including the first one! There was a photographer at this particular gig as it was one of those high falootin' black tie affairs, and he was a drummer too. So ... he freaked when he saw my '65 Rogers BR Celebrity's, and asked if he could take some pics after sound check. I said sure!, as long as you can send 'em to me! :) This was one of them. Somehow he "blacked out" the stage/lights, and the results were that pic. I agree too ... I always thought it looked like it could have been a Rogers catalog shot! Here's a pic he took during sound check, which has a nice view of the 1967 Rogers WMP Dynasonic, and you can see the stage "dressing" that he eliminated in that other pic. :)
