After years of reading ads and online form discussions about "ply this," "bearing edge that," "this kind of wood," "that kind of hardware," etc., I enjoyed this immensely:

One of my students - he's 10 or 11, somewhere in there - got his first drum set for Christmas. At his last lesson, I said, "So, Billy - tell me about your new drums!"

He paused for a moment, and in a very serious tone replied, "Well...they're red."

That's really all one needs to know James.


I'm probably more guilty than anyone, but the real dael is that the player makes the drums and not the other way around.

I have had people in music stores ask what the difference is between entry level kits and proffesional gear. I tell them the difference is what doesn't break when You hit it with a stick. We all know you can make any crap drum sound resonably good.
