Just put down a deposit, and a week from Sat. will pick up a 25-30 yr old Rogers XP-8 maple kit in lucious Mist Blue!! Ooooh so pretty! Ooooooh sound so nice!!
(The guy, obviously distressed that his wife's knick-knacks were rattling on the shelf in the next room, said he thought the bass needed muffling ... oh, I don't think so! Sounded thunderously fantastic to me!)
This is from a local drummer pal of mine, who restored them from the shells, and offered me a killer deal that I couldn't pass up. Comes with a 22" bass, 12-13 mounted and 16 floor tom. Of course, I've already got my eye on a matching 10x14 tom, and a 'historically appropriate' snare (I mean, the red
Pacific snare I've got would just clash too horribly!!) ... good deal or no, the accessories to go with it will probably kill me!
I consider this my 'good mojo' kit ... I'm getting in contact with serious musicians who are looking for a drummer, and this is a kit that I'll be happy to tell them about and show up with! I expect it to get me into a dynamite band!
