At 60 years of age- Drums, Drummers & Drumming and all its appertanences exuberate me more than ever. After 50+ years of playing the learning process continues unabated... I still get giddy looking at a beautiful cymbal stand. My favorite snare is a 14 x 6 and a half Legend phosphor-bronze, Circa 1996. At one time I had 36 snare drums! 6 kits 1,000 cymbals... You get the idea..! I just picked up a beauty of a kit, a Yamaha Stage Custom kit (All Birch!!!) For next to nothing..! Anthony "Drum Guy" Leone.
