Re: My Story
Wow, Johnny, I’m really sorry to hear about your troubles.

Re: Hello......Is This Thing Working?
Thanks Kevin, your thoughtful response is appreciated!
My numbers look good but I did a lot to keep my own threads going to be honest, and I guess that’s ok, but I don’t always want to do that....

Re: Hello......Is This Thing Working?
I haven’t been here in awhile myself, and I almost hate to post in this thread, because this was the first drum forum I joined and the guys here were really helpful. But yeah, it’s just to dead here...

Re: MIJ kit on Ebay
Shipping has gone crazy in the last couple of years, and it is making a difference in what I buy these days.
I'm not even sure why it's so high because fuel has been very low for the last 4...

Re: Slingerland Black Diamond Pearl
I agree.
While they can be pretty awkward and generally a pain in the neck when trying to position your tom, once it's set, it's set. And you can get it in almost any position, so I'm not sure...

Re: New MIJ find - Cadet badge - any input
Yeah, that looks like a great pick-up. Heck, you can't buy a decent lunch for $25!

Re: Help identifying this kit please.
I don't see that as a pile of scrap. They look pretty decent to me.
Looking at the interior of the bass drum, they are not some cheap MIJ stencil kit. The wood looks better than luan. Must be a...

Re: Stan Leveys Ludwig drums
I read his book, Stan Levey - Jazz Heavyweight, and it really got me going on his drumming. He had a great life story, not all good, but very interesting. He played with most of the greats of jazz...

Re: Leedy
