Hey everyone, just thought I would say hello and introduce myself. I am from "The Maritimes" of Canada. I've been a drummer for over twenty years, mostly playing in local bands. I play a DW performance kit live, and an Ayotte kit with Noble & Cooley alloy classic in studio and rehearsals. I'm a K Zildgian guy as well. In fact, I had a drum set stolen from me 4 years ago, it made the local news and a few weeks after I got an email from the VP of Zildgian Canada, he told a story that when he was a young man he had his drums stolen. He wanted to help out and although I want an endorsed artist he told me I could purchase anything I wanted at his cost. I was so impressed by this kindness. Great guy, great company!
Needless to say I treasure my K's!
Playing drums has been a passion of mine though as long as I can recall. I have seen a lot of my country through playing music, paid for my education, been able to raise thousands for charitable organizations and benefits for people in need. I even met my wife by playing drums! I really do owe a lot to music.
I have often viewed this forum for advice, and with a recent local auction find I thought I had better seek advice on the rare items that I posted. Seems to be a great community of drummers on here! All the best with your collections and keep drumming!
