I just cant resist when I see something on craigslist that's way too cheap!
I got those vistalites for almost nothing and they are in fabulous shape. I got the tama stage stars for $50. What's a guy supposed to do? Epiphone les paul and a Ovation acoustic electric for 130 for the pair, a epiphone SG for $35 lol

What are those funny looking thing that hang on the walls? They don't look like drums. It looks like Lubbock is fertile ground.

Those are what's known as guitars. They are a stringed instrument shaped like a woman's body making them easy to hold. These instruments can make a very nice sound or they can make very distorted sounds. When accompanied by a experienced percussionist, they sound excellent! We were having a party on my patio a few yrs back and some of my friends brought their guitars. One friend didn't bring his. I had a old guitar i had bought at a garage sale for $5. I offered it to him to play. he exclaimed " I cant play that old POS" After that I decided to find a guitar worthy of my very particular friend to play. I started looking on CL and comparing prices of them to ebay prices and found that I could make money off of these if I saw fit to. So I started buying guitars. The other things hanging on the walls are record albums. Around the tops of the walls are 45RPM singles. All former #1 Hits.
I was looking at wall paper borders and found a 45 rpm record border. I had a brainstorm to get out my old record collection and hang real 45's up there.
The remodel of this room led to remodeling 2 more bedrooms, a hall way, liiving room and entry hall. All new paint and new wood floors.

Very Nice!! I am close to finishing my daughter's new bedroom (gotta do the deed and finish that damned drywall, yuck!!) up in the attic then her old bedroom is MINE!! I would like to borrow your idea of the record crown molding if you did not file for any type of patent on that!!! I got a ton of old records from my old man as well as various other fiddles, banjos, accordians:eek:, and other stuff I don't know how to play but would look cool displayed the way your's is!

Again, very nicely done on the music room, it puts out a real nice visual vibe!!Cool1

have a wonderful evening

Thanks for the compliment. Im phsyco about drums! lol
The crown molding is in fact hand rail. I put it up to screw the guitar hooks into. The albums are in frames which I bought from walmart online. they were 6 to a box for about $33. They work exceptionally well. in fact the backs of the frames have clear plexiglass so you can see the backs of the albums also. Walmart has ship to store and that's free shipping.

Man.....what do you do for a living??!!!!!!!
That's a great room! Great job!!

[coreyeroc]

ummm.... calfskin heads on roto-toms?!? Do explain.

[poppy79424]

Those are Remo Fiberskyn heads. The purpose of that is, Playing in an acoustic Guitar circle with brushes. I have never tried them out. Right after that I bought a Conga at a pawn shop and it worked great. Then I found a Djembe on Craigs List and it works great too. I now have 3 sets of 3 congas, 3 Djembe all remo sizes 12-14-14

I own a auto trim shop. We restore auto interiors and replace auto glass and do virtually and kind of upholstery. My shop has been mentioned in numerous magizines involving Restored or Custom vehicles. We do a lot of commercial stuff too. We do upholstery for hospitals, restaurants, fitness centers, airport, or any business with lots of chairs, such as social security administration, city hall etc... I am 3rd generation in this business. My Dad, Son, and 6 others work for me.

i can see what youre getting at - but rototoms are almost useless without projection. The rototoms (played by brushes) would be a nominal volume with normal heads as well. Just saying - thats a lot of money for calfskins, especially since you cant really dig into them in any other situation since those heads are so soft. Why not just use calfskin heads on normal toms?

Im not trying to bust you - just sparking converstaion I guess.

[poppy79424]

I have a friend that plays his bongos with brushes at a acoustic guitar circle. The whole point is not to project to much sound and overpower the acoustic guitars. I had 3 of the heads already that came on a cb 700 kit I aquired with a bunch of other stuff. The cb 700 had fiberskyn as resonamt heads and renaissance heads as batter heads. The heads were worth more than the drums. I got the roto toms from the same guy.
He had a brand new set of remo pinstrip for the roto toms. I put those on my kids drums I built. I ended up buying one head. What else can I say, except, that I'm a phsyco! lol

Another note. We have a acoustic jam every thursday night. We will have 10-15 guitar players. Many are very experienced and many arent. It's up to us drummers to keep these guys in the groove. I usually play my congas or Djembe keeping time. My part is the bass drum and a tom. Another guy plays his bongos with brushes and acts as a snare so to speak. Together we have a good percussion sound to add to the jam. I am always experimenting.
