That's right, I ordered a Gibraltar V Rack. After 2 and a half hours of assembly and part movement I have a GREAT setup!
Whats that on top of your hihats? A rubber duck?
So the kit showed up Friday.
I really was after the standard toms but at $350.00 I could not pass it up. I never saw a good pic of the snare before I got them. I actually assumed it was a standard Superstar snare. And that would have been just fine with me ;-).
So I open one of the boxes,is it full of popcorn so I stick my hand in and pull out the 12, looks ok, some scratches, very typical for these kits, and I am going to re-finish it anyway. Then I stick my hand back in and pull out the 13, about the same condition, so far so good. Then I reach all the way down to the bottom and pull out the snare. i about fell over. It is a 6 1/2 x 14 Rosewood! I could not believe it! These are not very common and for TAMA guys very desirable. I immediately tore it apart, cleaned everything up. Put it back together with new heads and the correct snare wires. OMG. It has the crack of a 5" with the power of a 6 1/2. I can't wait to get it to rehearsal this week and play it.
Heck, the snare alone was worth at least what i paid for the entire kit!
I just grabbed this up today. They should be here Friday. I will be selling off the cymbals but I can't wait to play these.
Well this is My Tama
Swingstar with some Sabians
The only detail is that I cant find the sticker for the Front Head in any store
My probably 70s Swingstar.
Im loving that AC/DC Live In Donington post in the background!
Yeah, gotta love the DC. If the Pic was taken a small bit to the right you'd see a Led Zeppelin Poster, too!
Hey I was at that Donnington AC/DC gig.
That was cool.
Shame I dint see led zep though!
