All the best to your dad!

PM sent!

Yes indeed, all the best to your father. Great that he wants to play on a pad, that's dedication! Nice to know he's a player as well as a collector.

Understand that you must be swamped with messages as well as tending to your father. Just letting you know I sent an email/getting in line. :)

I'm in Florida so an East Coast trip isn't such a far fetched idea. Careful with Hermine...is dumped a lot of water on me.

Hi Hope you dad is recovering well!

I'm looking for a 1940's Gretsch Broadkaster, ideally 13, 16, 22, plus snare or a 1940's Slingerland Radio King of the same configuration.

I'm East Coast as well (usually)....

Looking for:

30's WMP Radio King (Krupa)

20's Black Beauty (don't care about the pattern... just want one in the collection!)

Gretsch Gladstone

Geo B Stone or Duplex snares

Hey All. Just wanted to apologize to those I have not responded to yet. I have not forgotten about anyone. Between looking for parts, figuring out which drums are which and packaging and shipping drums / parts etc - this **** is not easy. You guys are great. You learn a lot when your dad collects for 30 years but you learn even more when you have discussions with people like yourselves. VDF is clearly a great community and once my dad is better, I hope he will start a thread or two.

Anyways, if you have sent me a message but I haven't reached out. I will. Also, keep pounding.

My private messages are at the hitting 50 - the max so please email me direct and include vdf username, full name / tel # and what you are looking for.

Been searching years for a 40s Gretsch Broadkaster WMP 16" floor tom...
