A gift for my drummer b'day?

Sign in to disble this ad
Next week my drummer turns 51, he's a greta guy and we get along very well, on and off stage.

He's a very complete equipment made of 2 eletric and 1 acoustic drum set, all high quality. He always play one of the electric with our band.

I'd like to buy some gift for him, drum related... I thought of a cowbell but probably not a good idea if he plays the electric...

any idea/suggestion?

Tx a lot,
Paolo

A Swiss watch.

A drummer that is gifted with perfect time is definitely worth keeping around.

All the band members get together and take him to dinner at Meson Cinco Jotas. He does not need music related stuff..you guys have been together long enough that it is a good thing to step away from it all and just let loose....thats what I would do......let him order anything he wants after all he is your drummer.
