Whoa! at 1:44, I hear a little "deet, deet da deet, deet da deet, deet da deeeeee" and I thought my roommates phone was about to ring but it was yours. My tv used to make that noise when he got a call.
The closest thing I recall was a Colt Match Target .38 Super... but a Magnum .44??? Your gun must worth a fortune!!!
And by the way... I've seen your other stuff. You're a great drummer (I wish I could have a teacher like you) and you seem to be a very nice person too. And in my humble opinion, you still got it (And I dig your Bass drum pedal technique by the way)
Once again, congratulations dude... You're the man!!!
I think I got lucky with the barrel on this gun, it's long (9.5" barrel), and just really, really consistent. I shot that pattern with a rest, taking my time, not fast. I bought that gun back when I had a little more spare money. Haha...hey I watched some of your vids...excellent stuff. You also have an excellent touch on drums. Take care my man...:)
Yeaph; you got a jewel there, no doubt about it. I own a .357 S&W myself... haven't practice in a decade or so, but I hope to get to it again sometime in the future :-)
This is maybe the most entertaining drums-related video I have seen. Your kit absolutely ROCKS! I mean... I'll kill for a Supraphonic Ludwig snare and you have two of them!
You definitely don't see a lot of Ludwig kits like yours around... Congratulations!
But for me the most amazing thing you showed was your target. Dude... This is the first time I see that kind of precision in a hand gun that is not a Hammerli.
thanks my man, Yes, those drums are my old friends. Check around on ebay maybe for used Supraphonics, or locally for used. Also bear in mind I've had years to accumulate gear. It'll happen for you too...:)
Hahaha....actually, it grew about as much as my wife would allow me to grow it. :) I had to stop adding to it. :) To tell you the truth, it's up there and I don't think about it much, I should probably take it down...maybe it's a bit excessive. Anyway, :) thanks again for stopping by...:)
Hey man why don't you send me some drum heads?!!! Lol... I need some so bad but I'm so short on cash right now I can't get any.. If you watch my drum tour video look at my snare head... IT'S BLACK!! lol
Haha....as long as you can hit it...it'll do. Don't worry, it'll come together...I had lean times too - they don't last forever. I used to just play them until they broke! :)
but thanks anyway... I will try checking on Ebay but I need a crash maybe an A custom or just a ZHT, or ZBT or MAYBE..... K CUSTOM OR even a Z custom or Avedis series I don't know... SO MANY CHOICES AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
Same as DWdrummer... I love Zildjians especially the K customs and Ks... Im saving up for some A customs. I love the tone of A customs. Right now I have ZHT 16in. med. thin crash, ZHT 20in. Medium ride, ZHT 14in. Mastersound Hi-Hats, and a ZHT 16in. China... I know they are lower grade of Zildjians but really they don't sound bad.
Of course your ZHTs sound good, they're Zildjians! :) Hey don't worry too much about getting the most expensive cymbals out there, one of my 16s is ZBT...and then there's those 2 World Percussions (=Wuhan). Sounds like your selection is nice...all you really need. Play on my man...:)
I know what you mean. If money is short, try finding a used crash. Maybe Ebay, or local stores may know of drummers who've sold or traded cymbals in. Just make sure it's not cracked. Some drummers actually look for "seasoned" cymbals like this, and pay maybe half list price (sometimes more or less). I love finding great used cymbals for less money...
Really all there is around here is GuitarCenter... haha I don't like their selection too much I mean don't get me wrong they have nice cymbals but they are just way too expensive!
Yeah, I switch between that and "Sunshine of Your Love" by Clapton. Great oldies. On the China, yeah no more room. Haha...The last one I added took me a few hours to get everything adjusted for one more. It's actually too many, but I just like having my pick of lots of sounds. :)
nice tour..luv your humor..u are a lot like me :) thanks for sharing. ps. my 1st set was a Ludwig (4 piece silver sparkle)..man they sure dont make them like that anymore..huh?
You bet...I don't know, I'd actually like to have several sets :), a couple of brand new ones...but of course I could never part with my old friends. Yep, silver sparkle was a regular standard...good stuff. Hey, thanks for stopping in...:)
thanks for the tip...im trying to look for a good deal on ebay and the buyandsell etc.......il try get a little part time job and save up to get a MONSTER OF A DRUM KIT.....haha......
Yeah Shaun, I can't stress enough how much you can save by adding one thing at a time, sometimes just a hardware part or something, and buying used whenever you can. Also, I didn't pay anywhere near what I said in the previous msg...but what it would cost if you went and bought it today, all at once. No way I could afford to buy a set outright like that. Slow n' easy is more gentle on the pocketbook.
no problem dude......i have a question....if u dont mind me asking.......how much is that kit alltogether?.......the kit i have now is a little crap beginner kit that cost 300, but i suppose i gotta start somewhere! haha!
Well, the 5pc Ludwigs (the core) I got in 1971 when I was 13, my 2nd set. 1st was a 3pc red sparkle Polaris (wish I still had 'em). If you bought things all new, maybe $1,400-$1,800 for cymbals; drums maybe $3,500-4,500 (including 3 extra snares, there are 10 drums plus the roto toms); another grand or so for the hardware. All a wild guess. Probably shouldn't include the extra snares. Anyway, build SLOW. It took me time. Buy used whenever possible...& thanks for stopping by...
WHEEL...OF...FORTUNE! LOL you are one funny guy. I bet those giant drumsticks could double up as baseball bats. You have an impressive audience...you should tell them about me sometime =). btw, nice yellow sprinker on your wall, i believe i have the same one in my backyard
Hahahaha.....hi Mot! Believe it or not, that really is a picture of Vanna White. The sprinkler! hahaha! Yeah, those sticks are almost as big as bats, solid hickory. As for the audience, I'll contact each of them and tell them about you! :) Be advised, two of them are of the incomparable Suzanne Pleshette. When she was about 35 or 40. Now she's like, 70 or something. This is a rather unfortunate, ahhh, reality. Hahaha...Hey, thanks for stopping by.
