Lastest update with link and info

In case you have not heard I'm buying breakfast for everyone that comes to my meet and greet this Sunday May16 at 9am which is one hour before the drum show opens. LInk is provided here, place is called Bosa Donuts, also, if you are in for the weekend and get in town Friday, come check out my band Ovrevolt at the Elbo Room in Chicago, we do a 10pm show, come see the oldest metal drummer on the forum, maybe in the country, possibly on the planet. LOL. all links are here, hope to meet some of you soon, if you can't make the show, visit our web site and log into our fan base, the reason? at the end of the year how ever many fans we have signed up, we are donating a dollar to charity, so its all for a good cause.................

I forgot to mention that I just got an email from DrCJW. He is flying in for the show and will be at the booth checking out the history.

I also do want to mention that our Super Mod TommyP had every intention and even purchased the airline tickets to be at the show and help at the booth. Situations out of his control altered his plans.

Regardless he shipped two of his Buddy Rich Model Slingerlands for a special display.

We also have another Slingerland snare which would be one of the rarest Slingerland snare drums making a special appearence at the booth.

I am working an hour away from the show and there is a 50 percent chance I will be off on Sunday right now. I would love to collect that squishy brain!! I will definitely look up the stand if I get off this Sunday. I will be the guy with a tazer in his back pocket wearing a flack vest snugged up real tight!!!LoLoLoLo

All kidding aside, If I am off, I will swing by and check out the stand!!

have a wonderful evening

Stranger things have happened I guess.....LOL

I will find out on Saturday if we are working on Sunday. The engineer I'm working for can't think two days ahead....

I really hope I can make it. I checked out all the pictures of the show that were posted from last year and it looked awesome.

If you win another three or four snares and feel burdened by the good fortune again I can help with that too!!

have a wonderful evening

It was great to meet you today Dave...

Enjoy the rest of the show!

I'm looking into seeing what I can find from when my grandpa worked at Slingerland, if I find anything, I'll let you know.

Matt's Vintage Drums - Chicago, Illinois

I collect 6 lug Slingerland snare drums. Let me know if you have any for sale. Looking for Yellow Tiger, Silver Veil Pearl & Turquoise Veil Pearl

As my luck would have it, I mean it couldn't possibly go any differently, I was working less than a hundred miles away from St. Charles all pumped up with cabbage from a long trip and the good bargaining by Local 1. As luck would have it we have had the last two Sundays off and the engineer decides to open the plant's vault and tells us we are working this Sunday (today).

I had every single intention in the world on seeking out and taking home a red tiger pearl wrapped snare to match my kit, if there was one to be had of course. Show prices or not, I was taking it down.

Worst part of it was David said he had a live feed via wi-fi

and I was up all night on Friday dreaming of throwing up a double rockstar with the KISS tongue flying while screaming Luddy Dude!!..Luddy Dude!!..Luddy Dude!!

Someday I will be able to kick the kids out, probably the wife too and get to live the dream..........

To those who made it, I hope you had a blast!!

have a wonderful evening
