Have to say, the Broken Glass finish on the DWs makes them my fav...but I'm going on nothing but looks.
And Mike...are you all clean shaven in the Slingerland pic?

That's awesome. I'd love to get a kit, but I'm thinking that an electronic kit would work better due to space constraints.
I've got drum kits in both practice spaces (Hudson Valley and Brooklyn), but the one upstate isn't mine, it belongs to the VAs' drummer. He's about 6'4" and likes having a lot of drums, so his kit takes up more room than any other drummer I've ever played with.

The one in Brooklyn belongs to me, so that there are drums on hand mainly for jazz. A professional drummer who is a close friend had a student selling them, so I bought them. They're like this, but with only one tom rather than three. They're not bad, and it's a smaller size bass drum which is great for the space.

Drums and piano were actually my first instruments, and I can play them a little in a dire emergency.

Not that I'm complaining about banging on wood and skin....but I can think of better things to do with your hands.![]()

METAL!
I have another outlet for my creativity, and that is metal fabrication. I don't get to do it that often, though.
That's pretty cool. I've had so many hobbies over the years it's scary. The only metal ones though were making chain maille and jewelry. Do have pictures of any or your artwork? I'd love to see.

As part of my trade I carry a Master Sheetmetal Worker's License.
So, yes, I play around with METAL.
From time to time.
It can require hour after hour of banging and pounding away.
What's the best metal for metal?

If you want actual metal to make Metal,
Buy Unobtainium.
If you can find it.
Does it have a number in the periodic table?![]()
