I enjoy watching talented people performing with tremendous skill, especially when it comes to musical performance.

You'd probably be interested in this DMC, knowing your passion for it:

Definately a big fan of both..

I tend to follow Gene Krupa more as far as style-- if thats even possible... Krupa was influence to MANY drummers in the 60's

Here's a slightly better version-



It's amazing isn't DMC, what they do with what some much less skilled drummers I know would call a "limited" or "small" setup? Snare, a few toms, single pedal bass, hat, ride, crash and I think Buddy had a China...? It is just a real pleasure watching those guys.

Ahhh, Slingerland vs. Ludwig. Back in the days before the Japanese took over the drum kit business.

Thats the classic jazz kit setup right there.. Notice Buddys large floor tom is being used to hold a towel.. My uncle used to do the same thing with his 1930's Slingerland kit....
Keith Moon had a floor tom just for holding drinks...

Playing a small kit is pretty nice... I break my kit down for blues and jazz...

I've been using a standard 8,10,12 rack tom setup for a while.. With a 16" floor tom.

Even then Yamaha was making a dent in the market.. Guys like Steve Gadd have been playing Yamaha for years... I like the Slingerland sound better then then Ludwig in that clip..
