Yep, there are a lot of guys on this forum who are generous beyond belief! I have had items shipped to me for free for no other reason other than they knew I needed or wanted the pieces or, in one case, a very expensive vintage snare drum!!!. Most of these great guys wish to remain anonymous as well. There are wonderful people out there who deserve a HUGE thanks!

Have done the same and in return have had a few. Also have had a couple that I believed I was helping to restore a drum for keeps, only to find out it was being sold when finished. Had I known before hand...not so sure!

Hi, Nevin,

Yep, I'm sure you are right. It's a shame when people repay generosity with greed. At least you tried to help a fellow restorer. You should be proud. The dirt bags who sold your gifts should be ashamed!!!

Brian,

Indeed...and the vintage drum collecting community is a small one. Know who they are and will be a different story the next time. Live and learn. I can say that a majority of the members are outstanding, and will never be included in that category in my eyes.

still got the red sparkle Ludwigs i bought from you Nevin and loving them dearly. will never get rid of that kit either. still thanking you and think of you every time i sit down behind it. have also added a 64 red sparkle jazzfest to it since the last time we spoke.

Robyn!

Glad you are enjoying them! They were meant to be played and enjoyed for sure.

Take care,

Nevin

Hey, Christian, thanks!

But it really was a small thing. I help you, you help me - that's what this forum is about, right?

Take care!

Yes buddy:-) thats what it is all about!

best regards

Christian
