Was that one on "blocket" a couple of weeks ago? ;) After market strainer and the numbers on the badge is probably a hand engraved inventory number, or an old five digit phone number. I've bought some vintage stuff with both on, and with "personnummer" (social security number) engraved in them...

Oh, the choices one has to make...

Keith's drumming I brilliant! The way he plays for the song - some things with the bass, some accenting the lyrics and a whole lot with the guitar. He really brings the songs to life. And his playing to prerecorded tracks later on, before it was standard routine, is equally brilliant, with his...

Molded with different inserts: 7 db and 25 db (took the wrong one to an Iron Maiden concert once, big mistake...) https://bellman.com/sv/bellmanear/horselskydd/

I've got a 1124 that is my to go stand for lightweight gigs. Used to be my main stand for years and could still be if I had a working spare one... The plastic link arm is the weak part.

I've got a late 70's Ludwig s.s. kit, 22, 12, 13, 16. Sounds great, not as "hard" as one could imagine, and looks terrific!

Paiste 2002 20" ride. It's not just consistent, it works with any style of music - IMO.

Well, it's one of the few instruments that, despite it's small appearance, can be heard though a blazing symphony orchestra, so maybe it's valued for it's "loudness"...? ;)

New York Dolls! They should be in there just for the sake of Jerry's pink Ludwig kit alone!!

Grandparents had an pump/reed organ (quite an investment for a poor family) and my parents sang in a choir and played quite a lot - and listened to music all the time. One of their first furniture bought was a record player! We were all encouraged to play music, annoying our neighbors but the...
