April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Just a drummer who loves all things about vintage drums! Nothing more, nothing less.

OCD all the way! Logos lined with badges, crashes even, ride lower, FT slightly lower (not measured) than snare, tiny tape marks as memrilocks for a quick set up and take down. My OCD about tuning? On tilt but I always had another band mate make the rounds on my drums while I was OUT IN FRONT by 10 to 20 feet so I could hear the true sound of the drums and tuning as the audience would. I always found the sound difference profound comparing what the audience heard versus what I heard sitting behind them. Sorry "patina" guys-I love polished shiny cymbals, handled only by the edges like a vinyl record....drums handled by finger tips under the rims...oddball's logic made me laugh out loud.
So, sign me up for the 12 step, self help meetings. I'm definitely off my rocker. d.

When I do it, I don't realize that I'm humming unless I catch myself.. Then I think, "What the heck am I doing that for?" It won't be to the melody of the song... just a straight, random "hum".. crazy!
That's what I'm talking about all right! We gotta stop doing it lol!

[...] and if my snare doesn't sound right because of a particular room....... .
One thing I've done in rooms that make the snare too loud and boxy, is put a strip of paper between the wires and the bottom head. Couple inches wide, you can move it around for the best results in a given room.
Basically it's more tone less snap.

I always set up the kit I am using on the next gig in my living room, and detail the crap out of it, and make sure the tuning is correct. I Will continually polish the worst part of the wrap if there is any. Any slight rash with a light scratch remover polish. I may be using a 30 to 50 year old kit and people think it is new. Everything must match. I always dress according to the color or wrap of the drum. Silver Sparkle requires dressing in black or dark blue. Black Rogers, black jeans, white or grey shirt, black jacket and shoes. I will wear the color of the badges on my Beverley kit! Etc. I want a certain uniform color, look, and a spotless kit. I always set up my bass drum, then snare and stand, ride tom, floor, cymbal stands, then cymbals, and reverse engineer when packing up. If anyone ask if they can help me I will smile and say, "the best way to help me is stay out of my way, and hold the door".

Perfection to the point of matching the badges...Now that's cool !
