| I guess I'm supposed to introduce myself here?
Well, there's not much to tell. I'm from Indianapolis, and I've been playing since I was 10 (school band).
I just turned 56, and like most of you guys are probably doing, I'm just trying to keep working.
All my drums are old - 60's or so, and generally 4 pieces.
By the way, if 'new member' Johhny Rabb should see this post, I've been using a pair of your 5A sticks that your friend, Denny Dixon, gave me a few years ago, and I like them a lot. | | Message posted 605 days ago |  IP Logged |

Gary - You say your drums are old like that's a bad thing. To many here that can be a real positive. It can be considered a vintage kit. Give us some details.

| i'll try to respond to everything here.
thank you for the reply about the speed king bearings, and i'll look at the video from the library.
no, i didn't mean anything derogatory about old drums - i prefer them.
right now, i think all my sets are mid-60's, and are all 4 piece sets. i have a WMP ludwig set, with a 22" BD. the other sets are all the size with the 20" BD. those would be a silver ludwig set, a gold slingerland set, and a hodge podge of various, cheaper drums in those same sizes - 20, 12, & 14.
i used to use 26" & 28" BD's, and would like to find another, cheap 26" sometime. i once had a blue leedy set with a 28" BD, and a ringo-colored ludwig set with a 28", too.
i prefer 26" BD's, though, over 28's.
i've got several snare drums, but usually use the supraphonics.
3 cymbals, and hi hats-pretty basic.
no favorite type of music.
thanks very much for all your replies.
