local guy has a couple sweet old Slingerland kits (and others) for sale. He is a a pro Jazz guy semi-retired thinning his collection. DM me and I'll give out his number... offered me lessons if I buy a kit and hit me up for a bass gig :)
Thanks, Fred built it for me 2006, I had to ship it back so he could take it to Winter NAMM 2007. My 2 Tele style basses were built for me by Chris Benavente a couple years earlier.
I play bass a little... 4, 5, 6, 7 strings... bass guitar and upright... fretted and fretless... I'm a bassist that identifies as a Musician. I also play guitar (electric, acoustic, and banjo bodied).
I'm a 40+ year musician but a total drum newbie. I have a beginner kit with junk cymbals and hardware. I read and watched videos for a few weeks and pulled trigger on the Speed Cobra 900 series HH and bass pedal. I still cannot believe the ease learning is on these compared to my old stuff...
FNG here, I'm a bassist forever... hack of a guitarist too. I decided to give drums ago after decades of thinking it would be cool.
