If Porsche was to Build a Drum Kit

[M.D. Holloway]

Not for the faint of heart - only to be operated by highly skilled drummers;



(this is actually a Terry B kit!)

[Sonic dB]

bah...John Bonham just needed a 4 piece kit with big kick drum and a couple of cymbals... mic'ed by one kick mic and an overhead pair in the hallway of a dilapidated British farmhouse estate.

Looks like something Dave Weickl would play.... with ease.

I aggree............some of the best drummers I've heard (rock and jazz) had the least amount of equipment.

[Oh Haha]

SWEEEEEEEET!!
Looks like something I drew in art class many moons ago.

AAAANNNNNIIIIIMMMMMAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

[mede8er]

I can 't imagine schlepping that from gig to gig.....

[azasadny]

I have a video clip of Terry Bozzio playing a set that looks just like that one. See the Slingerland "Buddy Rich kit" in the back of the photo? I've always wanted to add a gong to my set as it's the only thing missing (besides talent)...

[M.D. Holloway]

The kit pictured was built for Terry - I'm sure he had several lackys and a bus to hawl it around. When I saw him, he was setting up a mini monster by him self. I thought that was pretty cool for a guy like him to do.
Buddy Rich's kit was cool, that was like mine - I think Hal Blaine was as good if not better that Buddy. Buddy had a great markteer, Hal was too busy with the "brass".

Hey Mike,
I just noticed the line you added to your signature.
Very cool, man.
I like throwing lines from movies or songs at people just to see if they get it. Most don't.

[Oh Haha]

I went through the thousand piece drumkit phase. I went back to a basic five piece and found my playing improved.

my cousin has the Bonham vistalite re-issue kit. DAMN that thing is LOUD.

impressive, but a good drummer dont need all that...

[Victor]

Reckon this one can play upside down like the one used in the 80's by hairspray and spandex bands like Bon Jovie and Motley Crue?

[azasadny]

My '79 Slingerland 12pc set is birch wood shell finished with a cherry stain on it. It's incredibly loud and I play the Roland electronic set most of time to avoid "neighbor problems"...

[Oh Haha]

Hey Hey Victor,
Tommy Lee is,IMO, one of the best around. Nevermind the non-music crap he found. His live performances were(are) awesome.

Airto Moreira, now theres a drummer
