Here are my DWs...

My 1975 Slingerlands...

Have to say, the Broken Glass finish on the DWs makes them my fav...but I'm going on nothing but looks. :p

And Mike...are you all clean shaven in the Slingerland pic? :eyebrow:
 
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.

Invalid Link Removed

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.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

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

You're a man of many talents, Chuck. :D
 
As promised, here are a couple links. Nothing special or extravagant as seen above, but works for me! 1957 Ludwig sparkle blue kit, all original pieces (though some are not being used and are in the box in the background) and great condition for their age. The "tom" in the top left is the old snare, we just removed the chains and stood it up higher :D

One of my many other instruments on the side there, Yamaha Bb trumpet.

Sorry, the basement is a mess.
 
Wow - I go to work all day. Finish up my painting. Come to CWB and find it pretty much taken over by guys who like to bang on wood and skin....and a facehugger.


Not that I'm complaining about banging on wood and skin....but I can think of better things to do with your hands. :D

Do you have a problem with our hijacking? Maybe we enjoy banging...:D ;)

I bang on..wait for it...


METAL! :bassist:

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.

Unfortunately the metal fabrication that I do isn't artistic (although I do sometimes view what I do as artistic). The fabrication that I do is all work related, and have fabricated tools, parts, etc. I am, however, working on a drawing at the moment. I'm finding it difficult, though. It's been a long time since I have drawn something other than a quick doodle.
