How cool is green sparkle? You're going to need a coat just being near it!

I'll bet that kit sounds even better than it looks!

I have no drums made in this century, and I'm quite pleased about that...

There are quite a few things going around about him playing a green Luddy Superclassic before his Ludwig deal but I've never once seen a photo or heard Bonzo say anything about it. I always figured that kit was the green kit people were talking about, and being non-drummers, probably just assumed it was Ludwig. Though the only photos I see of this kit have Bonzo playing a 5" Supra with it. Zeppelin I sure sounds like a 22"/13"/16" Slingerland to me! Sticksavers and all...



There definitely is nothing like playing a 14"/16"/18"/26"(or 24"), it has be experienced to understand the feeling. Nothing like laying into big drums like that. Congrats!

hi hate to get off topic here but it is related. how many of you got divorced because your wife didn't understand your drum obsession? know
someone who had over a 100 kits. she couldn't take it anymore.
now he is alone and happy 50+kits but wishing he had figured it out
before his addiction to drums made that happen. you have to have a
drum prenup. before this!
