I has toyed with finding a nice Slingerland snare. I would like to say that it's because of some quality that I like in the sound of Slingerland snare, but that truth is that I would want one with a...

I can relate to several things on that list. I'm not spilling the beans, though. I'll just let everyone have their/there/they're own guesses!

I think it's unique and innovative. Necessary? Maybe not, but then someone has to try it out and let us know. Congrats on your new snare, Spaz!

He certainly makes some good points. Instead of freaking out, find a way to make the time productive. Go on Drum Chat!

Many of those could also be cargo flights. Hard to tell without more info. Still, it's a lot of flights.

Thanks OldEnglishD! Being with my daughter's family has been awesome. Being able to play again is the icing on the cake.

Well, I've been retired since June, and although I had a definite idea on how it would all go (watching the grandchildren was priority #1), it seems like nothing goes quite the way you might envision...

Rick, that new Crystal Beats kit is beautiful! I can just see your inspiration soaring. You'll be playing well into your 110's!

I got hugs from my grandchildren on 10/10, but I don't think they thought of it as hugging a drummer. To them, I'm just G-pa. :hug:

My choice for overrated drummer would be . . . me. I suck, and that's still overrated. :doh:

I think "overrated" could be most "lengendary" drummers that have been with a single band. It's...

Whoa Rick! What happened to your wrist? Must have been something pretty painful that it has to stay wrapped for a while.

Thanks for the drum video in the meantime. It always been good to watch...

GeeDeeEmm, that's a really cool setup.

Man, that's an awesome birds-eye view iNDiGLo!

Rich, I'm still catching up here, so I ran across this thread and got to read about your journey since the divorce. I know it's been tough (been there, did that), but I'm glad you were able to cling...

I got an 18" Wuhan China about 16 yrs. ago, and it's still in good shape, but it doesn't get much time anymore, because about 6 yrs. ago I got an 18" Zildjian EFX and it got all the playing time. It...

Rich, was this a gig, or are you still practicing together?

Eight years ago, a group of us pastors got together and formed a band, with me on the kit. Gradually, pastors were assigned to other...

:icon_eek: Spaz, I'd ask you how that happened, but I might end up with nightmares for a while. Have you had to alter your technique in order to continue playing, or has there been a complete...

How was the gig Mike? It sure looks like you had a good time ahead of you.

Happiness is getting to spend time with your kids and grandkids . . . especially when they think you're the coolest. Yeah, I've got them fooled, for now. :icon_cool:

Great job behind the kit, MDK. Oh, and the other guys were pretty good, too. :clap:

There's definitely not a bad comedian in that bunch! Every one of them got me laughing, and I'm sure it made life a little easier for me.

Thanks! It's nice to be retired and have some time to hang out here with you guys again.

That's a beautiful snare, and being solid maple is awesome.

So I'm curious which way your brother went. I had a 4 piece 80's Catalina Elite Jazz kit with an 18" kick. I recently let it go in favor of keeping my 6 piece Catalina Maple kit, mainly because I...

I enjoy watching you play Rick. It all looks so effortless . . . like you've done it a million times . . . unless you start channeling Foster Brooks! :icon_wink:
