Old Returning Drummers Big Band

[Old returning drummer]

Here are some pics (I hope) of the big band I've been messing with. The drums are my Ludwig "build it yourself" Signets and Paiste 2002 cymbals. Nice and bright, perfect for cutting thru big band horns.

Nice pictures. I like your drum kit.

Playing with a big band would be a dream of mine, though I'm totally unqualified to do so. How are the Signets holding up so far?

The kit is Ludwig "Signets". Their "build it yourself" kit. They're holding up just fine. I fitted them with Remo Renaissance heads and the sound is very smooth and sweet. The drums are very light weight, perfect for an old fart like me to lug around. I dont know how much abuse and rough handling they would take, but that won't happen because we don't have any stoner roadies throwing them into a trailer from 10 feet away.

That's awesome! Looking at the band, it looks like there's many, many years of cumulative musical experience. Age is your worst enemy in sports, but it can be your greatest asset in music. I'd love to sit in with a group like that. The drums look awesome!

I hope all works out for you, I bet it feels good to play again.

Hope you're having a blast playing with the group. I grew up with my parents playing Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Lionel Hampton and the others. I love big band music and have been trying to learn to play it the past few months. I'm not good at it yet so I hesitate to play with anyone, but it's a goal.
