New drums

Bought some new drums. 1970's Slingerlands. I got them at Andy's Music on Belmont on a rainy Saturday last week.

And lookers they are! The agate wrap creates miniature Aztec plateau shapes that fold in and out of the pearlescent blues and lavenders. Coated Ambassadors hurl my sticks back at me, and the maple shells ring like enormous marimba bells. Muffled whoooms of the bass drum fills the old room I practice in, it's pillowy blackout creased by a light whaack of the snare.

Can't wait to show these babies off!
