Just thought I'd share a quick story... made me smile. My son (late teens), who has become quite a good drummer in his own right and plays many genres, quite well I might add, is starting to show signs of going vintage. He has always appreciated the look of my vintage gear and has always rooted for me when I score a deal on some new vintage drums, but he has never shown an interest in playing the older gear and has always stuck with his modern stuff. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed my 1971 Supra behind HIS kit, and his snares were resting on the floor... I said nothing and just smiled to myself. Next, I see my KB acrolite in the side snare position... again, I said nothing. So, tonight he asked if he could borrow my 6.5" Supra and my brass Supersensitive (he couldn't find them on his own). He said my snares sound 'sick'... I've come to learn that 'sick' means 'awesome' in kid speak Yes Sir
Anyone else seeing their young drummers going vintage? It's a proud moment for me :)
