Amazing drummer, amazing feel, amazing human being. So many great parts, it's hard to choose just one. Hats off to Buster Sidebury!

Post any of the above. I'm looking for a Thermogloss 'Ritchie' set and bringing a bunch of snares for sale or trade. I'll post my snare list after I've decided which of 'my preciouses' I'm bringing. Might also be bringing a 60's Super classic set if I can get the dang nickel polishing completed!

In Get Back, it looks like he is using 'regular' heads, but in many interviews, talking of AR in particular, he has said he switched to calfskin. Are my deceiving me, or perhaps it was after the Get Back sessions? Any thoughts or insights?

Pretty interesting:

Paging Mr. Astridge! (Or anyone else). RS is using a rectangular 'ring', and, of course, I need one! Any idea of make/model? Thanks, Troy

(First posted in the Hoffman forums) This very moment, I'd have to go with 'Rocks Off' but I have many.,..

The Nude Party's, being one of my newtome fav bands, drummer Conner Mikata must have several different vintage kits. In all the clips I've seen, is playing several different makes. I've seen Slingeys, WFL, Fibes,and, I think Trixon, all being played by this tasteful drummer. We've been...

Okay kids, this drum I believe to be a Leedy 4 x 15, solid brass snare, ( defer to others to be sure!). Has the screw double tension rods, only 3 of which remain. (Original Leedy reso and busted batter heads, w/ original cat gut snare....see pics.) This is one of those projects that has been...

Had the pleasure of talking to Kevin at the show this year about a very deserving topic. <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FwithTroyandCraig%2Fvideos%2F511200849984126%2F&show_text=false&width=560&t=0" width="560" height="314"...

Finally is on the latest Pretenders lp, 'Hate For Sale', having been sidelined by studio cats since 2002's lp. There's just something about his playing that 'makes' the band become The Pretenders. Influential, for me, from self titled to today.

Between sets at this Garden 'fair', McCartney meets the Quarrymen and things wouldn't be the same. I say one of the most important days in rock history.

Mikata, (sp) drums for one of (newtome) fav bands and plays in sweet 'pockets' perfect for this group. Also, he always is playing a vintage set. Slingerland, Hayman, Ludwig, etc. and

Team DFO, I will have to be leaving fairly early on Saturday and we are needing volunteers to occupy the DFO booth at the show. Please post here if you could sit for an hour or two. Thanks, Troy

Team, Gary, (forum member) joined us for a discussion about Ringo's drums. It is always a blast talking to Gary and his vast expertise, (not to mention experiences) with these drums. We mention the forum a couple of times and get into the 'weeds' gear wise. https://fb.watch/4gGfn51pmI/...

Special thanks to Drumkat for our theme song! And extra special thanks to (dfo member) Jon 'Bermuda' Schwartz!

Recently came across this baby. Not a lot of info. Very unusual and. Imho, very cool. 16 lugs, single ply, original calf skins More pics coming

Team, Robert Rodriguez's 'Something About the Beatles' has a great two part series on 'our Ritchie'. Robert is a member here and also a fellow drummer. Check it out here: https://somethingaboutthebeatles.com/ The episodes are titled, 'Ringo Forensics' pt. 1 and 2. If you happen to listen...

Digging his drumming on this release. (I'm not familiar with him at all.) Not as intricate as some but not a basher, either. 'Gee Gee' is a good example. Check it out on youtube.

...coming this April. Here's White's take:

Been listening to some (Young) Rascals. Made me remember how great he can play. Seems under- appreciated. Anyway, Youtube him and be rewarded!
