tim wrote: you going to start a bubinga farm or something?  Good question, Tim. No, I don't think so. Just like the old veneer. Like the new one, too, but you know how "liking" goes. This is just residual bubinga envy. I suspect that if I buy any more kits they will be older, something along the lines of round badged Gretsch. There's something about modern drums that is like all modern instruments; slightly wound up and missing a softer, more human warmth. Anyone else on that page? |

I turned the page. Needed something more wound up, not so soft, less warm. I think at the end of the book....we all end up right back where we started. It's just one big circle. One day I will look for those old slingerlands I started out with. Done many many gigs with those. |

End of book does not imply age or end of life. Implies drum travel. |

I like the older shells for quieter gigs or recording, so I'm in your camp Greg. But I like the newer shell build for rock |

Maybe it is an age thing. |
