Vintage drums on SNL

[tdcrjeff]

This past weekend the band "Bleachers" filled in as a replacement act. Drummer (Sean Hutchinson?) was playing what looked to be vintage Slingerland yellow satin swirl.

I saw that. Enjoyed his playing.

The view from the stage. Sweet Agops as well.

 

[K.O.]

I saw those too. At first I assumed they were Gretsch until I saw the oval badge on the small tom. Sweet set!

 

[ThomFloor]

looks like he has a blue swirl set as well.

The snare sounds really good. Super warm! Looks to be a 14x6.5. Anyone have any insight into the brand/model?

Just found this topic after viewing the Youtube SNL video. I also noted the oval badges, characteristic of Slingerland. However, the bass drum spurs didn't appear to be Slingerland, so wasn't sure about the bass drum. Still a cool kit to play live!

Just watched this video and the toms and bass are definitely Slingerland! As to their performance of "Hard Day's Night", maybe it's an acquired taste?!!

I first thought Gretsch too. Brought back memories of my first kit, white satin flame.

Very cool! And I'm in love with bass player now...

Never heard of them, but wow, I like their music. It's definitely retro and fun.

Blu DeTiger, and that is *not* a stage name. She was a last minute fill-in I believe.

With her brother on drums:

Great, fun, real music, very well played. I really like the organicness of it. Drummer is fantastic, probably end up in Nashville. I would want to hear the singer do something very different from this on any other songs, though.
The bass player, ay caramba!
