Well, I decided to bring my all original Pre-serial Acro to my gig Sat night, I must have had another senior moment, not thinking that a 50 year head most likely won't hold up for long, so into the third song, it exploded, naturally I didn't have another snare with me. Thankfully the other drummer in the next band was there with his gear off to the side and was ok for me to use his snare. But then I played kind of reserved, don't like playing others people gear anyway, but I leaned a lesson the hard way. never again.

Life brings those lesson quick and hard sometimes. I always have a spare head and snare drum for just such occasions, But still shoot happens.

I guess this is part of getting old, loosing my mind, what really ****ed me off is when I told my wife about it she goes "well I could have told you that head would not work" and she doesn't know the difference between a drum set and a tuba............

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Gary,
I think it's always a good idea to keep a spare snare drum and kick pedal with your kit. You can busk through pretty much anything except a broken snare or kick pedal. Those are also the two most likely failure points in your kit.

Even when the wives know nothing about what we do. They seem to have that seventh sense that is just sooo reasonable and we never really hear it... as we`re just way to caught up in the drum moment,lol. I`m going to start listening to mine much more closely from now on-at least when it comes to 50 yr. old drum heads.Sorry slingerland yours broke-lesson taken-lesson learned.

I learned the same lesson. So...I do two things. I went out and bought a $40 14 X 3 inch metal snare. I use this as an emergency backup at a gig if my head breaks. Its small and light and fits into the drum case. I also bring a couple of spare heads so, if we take a break, I can change the head then. TNsquint above is right.....you need a working snare and bass pedal to get thru a gig, for anything else you could fudge by for one night.
