I've been hanging around as a lurker for over a year so it's great and I get all the jokes.Cool Dude

I started restoring drums for myself in 1978 in my parents garage and a friend offered to buy a Ludwig marching snare drum I had recently unrustified and recovered. I had bought it for $7 at a garage sale and he paid me $65.

I was hooked!

Photos! Man I wish I had the foresight to have taken photos back then. I would have had to borrow my moms Polaroid camera.

I found a photo of my brother Donny playing the Slingerland set he gave me.
