Super! I gave up on ever being able to afford an original. Settled on a 2013 classic maple reissue in the bop. Very happy with how well the finish matches my original 67 bop downbeat. Still trying to decide if I like the sound versus Acrolite or Supraphonic. What year is your kit? Don't recognize the tom mount. Enjoy.

Congrats Kevin! It's always a great feeling when you find just the right matching snare drum for an incomplete kit. Mike Layton helped to get a matching J-Fest for my pre-serial SBP kit. I was on cloud nine for weeks after I got it.

The circle has been squared! :p

Wow, do I feel dumb or what Tommy? Wouldn't an original version of "She Loves You" still be better for us neophytes though?

Yes it would be but it would also make it very likely that my video would get taken down within a few days for copyright infringement. I've been down that road before with my other Beatle kit video and that was due to using the Ventures version of I Feel Fine. That video now has had the audio replaced (by Youtube)with a totally inappropriate, but public domain, classical piece. Additionally I don't think that video comes up in search results ever since it was pulled due to the copyright issue. It had amassed over 145,000 hits in about a year when first posted but has not been seen much since the music was changed...maybe people just don't like the music.

As mentioned above this is a Beatles tune (She's a Woman) on the new one but a fairly obscure (although tasty) jazz version off an old LP I have. It's the Collins/Shipley group....whoever they might be.

Here's the 2008 version, sans original catchy soundtrack....and Jazz festival snare.

I`m sure Ringo would feel quite at home with this set.Many happy returns on achieving that last and final missing piece of that elusive puzzle.I`m sure Richard Starkey would be smiling...

That's a Rogers Swivo-matic tom mount, like the ones Ringo had installed on three of his four Ludwig OBP sets.

Ha!

Thought the music was Buddy doing his "Rock" thing......with a Beatles tune....

KO congrats on the completed 30 year quest~! Amazing kit detailed down to the T~!

I like the music too I'll look that one up.

Thanks!

Other than lacking drum solos the charts all have a very Buddy Rich band feel to them.

Thanks~! I looked on YT and could not find anything. I'll just grab the album.
