I have come to say goodbye to my drum brothers Last viewed: 55 seconds ago
Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

Condolences to friends and family.
My heart goes out to Jerry's friends and family. I only knew him on this forum and over at DFO as well as his making a beautiful snare drum for me. My prayers are with his family. God's speed Jerry. Thank you for including all of us in your journey including your final one.

The first time I met him, I was so excited to meet the Blaemire expert.
I was kind of nervous.
He was so generous.
I thought that there were trade secrets (at that time) that he would not share with me.
Wrong.........he shared every little secret (I think) that he knew about working on the FG drums.
Went so far as to get me dental supplies from his supplier.
Yes, we used some of those type of products for restoration.
I was so stoked.
From then on, any weekend trip to Jerry's was an exciting drum adventure.
I miss him.
Thanks again jinx.

Thanks to Mr. Jerry Jenkins
It was like that to follow him on the Internet too! Jinx was just one of the good guys. Always up to something completely interesting and never a bad vibe out of him. The warmth of his personality and his love for drums was infectious and it came through loud and clear even in the black & white world of the Web.
I'm really going to miss Jinx...

Some nice thoughts and memories coming out here.... RIP.. I have enjoyed his writings...
Guessing that Jerry & Bee Bee may be sharing the same flight...
