I just bought an 83 Imperialstar set with two concert toms 13 and 14 with re-rings. It came with all the original hardware Hats and three cymbals all Zildjian. Really the reason I bought it was because it came with a 1965 Supraphonic, but I think I'm going to like the drums too! I'll post some...
Dennis Wilson the Beach Boys At Lagoon Amusement park in Utah. 1966
Jimmy Carl Black the Mothers of Invention Two months after the Beach Boys at the same place.
Man what a segue!
I agree on the 14" sounds great. Mine is 1965. The FT is recovered, but matches pretty good. I love it. Good job on the restoration. Looks like a bit of work for sure.
Here is my September 1963 set in red glass glitter 18" 12" 14" matching 6 lug snare. You don't see Slingerland 18" bass very often, and this bass has a very interesting interior.
Your set looks good and probably sounds good too!
Lots of current things. (at the time1966) I remember the Doors, The Grass Roots, Paul Revere and the Raiders, then Later Santana, Doobie Brothers. Then Music got more complicated And interesting.
I just sold this, but I have another one just like it dated April 21 1941(written inside in White). No bottom heads. Mine are both the Deluxe Capital Outfit like Kurt's.
The only one I play it on is a Beatles song "You can't do that". I have about 7cowbells, but usually forget to bring any of them to a gig. the other two bands don't require cowbells.
I don't make art, but I've owned and operated an art gallery for 35 years. My wife is a very accomplished artist that has been working for over 50 years. The arts ain't easy, as musicians we know that all to well , but we've managed to get along just fine. If anyone is interested check out...
I had trouble a few years ago. I decided to go get a check up. Was sent to an ear, nose and throat doc and he prescribed Omeprazole. Turns out I had a relative of acid reflux, (can't recall the exact name now.) Anyway I sang lead for many years and in the past 20, or so years I sing mostly high...
As I've told you before I was in a band called the Lights from 81-84. Just had our annual get together last Saturday. your stuff kicks butt, great playing and dynamics. Great musicality and vocals. As I recall, you sang leads and Backups? Anyway great job.
Actually they are Pearl Presidents. Ludwig Universal looks right, but I wish I could get a closer pic. Anyway here's a few more shots. They're 400.00 bucks for the whole lot. I've had a few Pearl Presidents through here and they all sounded pretty good.
The blue sparkle 13, 22 are Pearl...
