i was just reading a few threads,and it made me think about the old days. im sure us older guys will remember the days before the internet . when we didnt have anybody to ask any questions to, or when there were only one kind of zildjian cymbals,, and you could only get zildjian and one kind of paiste cymbal, only had a few drum companys making drums .. if you were lucky you could get a catolog from one of the few mail order companys, and ware the pages out over the next few months.

i remember how hard it was to learn how to tune my drums,i was from a small town ,and there was nobody to ask .. had to learn myself .. spent many nights trying to get the sound that i wanted,and really no way to find out how to do it . just trial and error..

anybody remember those days????
