Hey all,

Just an introduction here. My name is Ray and I've been lurking here for a little awhile. Thought it was time to join. I've been active on Drumforum, cymbalholic etc but somehow missed this forum. I've always been known as Gravyfoot (Harry Cangany's old DCI forum), Gravy or Gravyfries pretty much on everything else. I'm currently known as Mellotron on the current drumforum website since I couldn't get my old name Gravy to work. On ebay, I'm known as Left_Side_Ride. Some of you might remember me from the older forums. I went to the same high school as Bunnyman so we've known each other for awhile!

I just picked up an old round badge kit and I'm loving it. It belonged to an older player in town. He was the original owner and played out with it for the last 50 or so years. The set isn't complete but it set the hook in me wanting another RB kit. Some serious mojo working on these drums. I also have a newer reissue round badge anniversary bop kit that sounds fantastic.

How many other St. Louis area folks are on the forum? Thanks for a cool place to hang!

Ray
