It looks like I see the best snare drum in the world, the 1998 panther maple deluxe, tell me if I’m right or wrong, on the bottom row middle drum! It never leaves my ORION KIT , one of the best drums I have ever played in my life!With some time off for the holidays, I thought it would be a good idea to clean up some gear and take a holiday fam photo.
It's a fun collection, nothing stunning, mostly they are all workhorses. A couple are bad snares and didn't come home. lol. They are out in other rehearsal spaces so it's not the entire fam but you get the idea.

This looks like Bozzio’s bop kit.
Lol. It is a great ol’ snare. It’s probably around that time zone. i don’t remember exactly the year but it would be mid 90’s. It’s the second snare I purchased and the first time I was impressed with Mapex. Up until that point, I never thought much about Mapex and thought their quality was mediocre. The BP line changed my mind about Mapex and have since picked up two Saturn kits. I personally favor the starphonic snares but I won’t let this BP go as it’s been with me for a long time.It looks like I see the best snare drum in the world, the 1998 panther maple deluxe, tell me if I’m right or wrong, on the bottom row middle drum!

Dr. Seuss cymbal stand.
Great set-up!Set my drums up in the hallway again today missing the 12” and 16” toms but I’ve been liking the 10/14 tom setup. Was thinking about doing a Zeppelin cover. By the way I’m digging the new DW round throne. View attachment 536090 View attachment 536091 View attachment 536092
Great! I have ebony ambassadors top and bottom on the 10. Emperor ebonies top and bottom on the 14. Ebony PS3 on the kick. Ebony ambo on the snare batter. Pretty happy with everything. I discovered I have a little Headley Grange at my house. Do you know about Bonham doing something similar? Research how they recorded “When the Levee Breaks.”How does it sound?
Here is the snare up close and personal.It looks like I see the best snare drum in the world, the 1998 panther maple deluxe, tell me if I’m right or wrong, on the bottom row middle drum! It never leaves my ORION KIT , one of the best drums I have ever played in my life!

Nice playing and recording. But tbh I thought you were going to do your own “by the staircase” version of When the Levee Breaks
