Cool! I have tickets to see James Taylor here at the vineyards in Bowral in a few weeks and guess Steve’s here acclimatising already!

I’d find a used Yamaha SD-4365 brass nouveau, I used to own one and it was fantastic in every respect. Dutch

Why replace the original screws? That may affect resales value… if you don’t like carrying multiple keys just get one of these:

The tension rods grab into a rubber washer that is designed to make it hard to unscrew; an early version of Sonor’s tunesafe mechanism. Beautiful kit!

I always had Aquarian texture coated heads on my SC and they sounded great.

Thanks Frank, great and informed background details as always

So do they ship the metal bits to Germany or the shells to Asia, for final assembly?

I’ve tried but haven’t been able to do the entire trainbeat of Pat Metheney’s Last Train Home without spasms…

Anyone can date this UFiP hihat? Haven't seen this particular one before: no serial number, just the squarish ink stamp "Made In Italy" on the reverse. Set of 14" hats, 850/950 grams. Thanks for your help, Dutch

By that logic we should all drive Corollas as well: no need for a Ferrari when any car can comfortably travel at the speed limit. There must be other factors at play..

You’d enjoy this

I own two Yamaha 13" x 6.5" 8 lug snares, a maple Sensitive series and a brass nouveau series. Both great drums and both discontinued, but can be found on eBay for less than $400.
