San Diego Custom & Classic Drum Show, after thoughts... Last viewed: 7 hours ago

Thought I would share my experience about the show. It was very small compared to Hollywood and Chicago, but I saw a lot of heart there. The venue was the local Union Hall and the atmosphere there was great. Kudos to John who organized it, the had a hourly raffle (I won a cymbal and a few shirts), food on site and a nice, if small collection of kits and vendors. Most of all was the people that came around and just chatted.

I had my Slingy Jet kit set up and let anyone who wanted to play it, and she got a good workout. My buddy Chad, sold and introduced many to The Drum Wallet.

I will look forward to the next one, and bring a lot more things to sell. Small things....

Got to chat with fellow forumite, gwm and talk drums. You know him, the guy who got the Jazzette for a steal recently. He also got to see and play Ludwig's competition, my Jet. I think he was smiling as he played it......;)

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

Great meeting you, too, BBK. And you're right. That was a big smile on my face while playing your Jet set. Super cool kit and very unique. Thanks for the test drive and don't sell it!

The show was small but a lot of fun and a lot of good energy from guys who obviously love the vintage stuff. And it benefitted school music programs that have been ravaged, so it was all for a good cause. Hopefully it'll grow with the years.

My new nickname is "Winner" I regifted a few, but kept the cymbal. Hope you got a Drum Wallet..
