At this time it is not for sale -- thanks for the inquiry.
In the early 60s, I began to look at and collect annual drum/percussion catalogs from Ludwig and Slingerland.
Those two American drum-makers did not offer multiple lines of drums priced for every...
This last weekend was rain both days.
I took the opportunity and packed away all the USA toms and replaced them with the rotos....I played the new setup for an hour or so each day.
The new toms...
Very cool opening written in 5/8....

A friend of mine texted that announcement to me yesterday.
So somebody at DW caused Fred to go elsewhere? Maybe this new group will be even better.
The DW agreement never made a lot of sense to...
I received the new heads yesterday for the rotos (6/8/10/12/14).
I bought clear Emps to help eliminate the FLAPPY sound....will put them on soon.
The 6-inch head was the most expensive.....!
Still...
I received the Weiss 12/14 set of roto-toms and the reviews are accurate.
These frames are similar to the Remo black frames and the bolts are just as good too.
The stand and the slide rail are also...
After research and reviews, I ordered a new set of the Weiss 12/14 rotos......I'll let you know how they sound/feel/hold up.
I'll try placing the 6/8/10 in the rack position and the 12/14 in the FT...
I found a good used set of the 6/8/10....got them assembled today and they are in unusually good condition....and they are the early chrome version.
You are so correct....FLAPPY....and they sound...
The look is important with this idea.
The bass needs to be chrome or silver sparkle.....with a snare to match.
I would also add a chrome reso head to the bass drum.
Thank you Tom.
I was also thinking of clear Emps for all Rotos....
Here is what I'm considering.......
14X24 or 14X26 bass;
one of my existing snares;
6+8+10 RT....14+16 FT....all being Roto toms;
Some large array of my existing cymbals.
Anyone here ever...
Wow.....those are special.
Anyone here into Ludwig Centennials?
Aquarian has a "HI-Impact" snare batter that sounds good and lasts forever.
Catalinas are the Gretsch Taiwan-made-lower-price-tier provision for people that don't want to pay a lot of money for a kit that can still be gigged.
Gretsch currently makes four other lines of...
We have hit a barrier......it's called everyone wants to expand with a keyboard player and we can't find one.
And even if we a successful, the venues around here are terrible.
Covid closed all the...
Such silliness.
And yet the best show I ever saw him play was two weeks before their first album was released.....
Frank played a 5-pc. Fibes acrylic....not silly....looked and sounded great.
Classic rock.....
I prefer "prog" but my bandmates hate the time it takes to work up a prog song.
Far too technical to put together quickly.
No worries.
Our objective was to visit the six states we had never seen before.
Minnesota -- S. Dakota -- N. Dakota -- Montana -- Idaho -- Alaska
We threw in 8 more on the trip back...
Been there -- done that -- bought the t-shirt.
Motels....
Drove a CR-V and got 31 mpg.
Least expensive gas was Little Rock, AR. @ $2.95.
Most expensive gas was Washington state average = $5.09.
South Dakota was a beautiful state....all over, but especially the SW quarter.
Glacier Park, MT is just jaw dropping amazing......as are parts of Yellowstone.
Alaska is truly the last frontier and...
