Never Sarcastic....Honest
I had given an old drum kit to a neighbor's kid about 9 years ago, before I got into recording...the drums had sat in my garage for years pretty much unused. I had bought the drums (Maxwin by Pearl) back in the mid-80's.
So the kid got some good use out of them over the years, but he graduated high school a year ago and is off to college....and my old drum set has been sitting out on my neighbor's covered patio for probably over a year.
I'm over at the neighbor's house yesterday for thanksgiving dinner...and I start poking around the drums. I'm kinda bummed that they are getting destroyed by being outside.
I ask my neighbor if I can "rescue" the snare and take it back....and he says sure. I tell him to let me know if his son ever needs it back, but I'd like to at least save the snare. I really didn't care about the rest of the kit, as I bought a set off of craigslist earlier this year, after finally getting sick of the sound of electronic drums.
The snare is a Ludwig and the date stamp is from 1967...I really didn't even remember what kind it was until I looked at it yesterday. It looks to be a Super Classic based on a 1967 Ludwig catalog I found online.
Anyways....I need to do some cleaning on it and I also need to get some new heads.
I'm kinda psyched about having another snare. After finding out it's a 40 year old snare, I don't think my neighbor's kid will ever see it again.
Here's a few pics.
