Good morning VDF. I just wandered over here from an "other forum" and decided I'd like to stay a while. Nice to see some familiar names, but I doubt anyone will recognize mine (at least here). This is my guitar forums user name among others.
Been playing and collecting about 35 years. Love collecting Gretsch snares and have a few Ludwigs in the house too. Looking forward to participating here and picking up useful Vintage tidbits.
Welcome Freak. Good bunch of guys on this forum. We always appreaciate pics of your toys if you'd like to share. . . James
Hidey ho!!!
Look forward to seeing your drummies!!!!
Ah, the "General" section.... Sorry, I threw the intro in the wrong measure.... Oh well. I've done it before and it won't be the last time I am sure.
If I can find anything interesting to share I'll post some pictures. Was kind if thinking this place was for "vintage drummers" so I signed up. I do see a lot of familiar names as I mentioned which is great! Forgive me if you all have seen my stuff before...!

You guys are in for a treat. This is one great guy, great forum-buddy, knowledgeable and has some great drums to boot!
Welcome! Good to see you here and I'm looking forward to reading your posts again. Great crew here... every once-in-awhile, you'll even have a, JR Frondelli sighting here. Kind of like our, Sasquatch. People do report seeing him, but they can't prove it! lol

Wow, Freak! Is that what you did with the NOS Slingy brass shell? I love the millennium strainer. Man, you did a nice job on that one. Gotdam die-cast hoops and all.
Here's a shot of mine for ya. It's sitting behind my kit downstairs, I play it every day. It's an amazing sounding snare drum. Cuts like a samurai sword.

Thats respectable. I would give rep for that if we did that sort of thing here.
