king 11,972 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I used to play the drums about 25yrs ago. But have been thinking of buying a harmonica and learning to play. My mate in Wales is a very good harmonica player. Surely there's a few keen musician's here..?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wish I still had it now.. I had a premier kit. Got it when I started work in the 70s and it took me years to pay it off. Used to play the clubs and pubs. I sold it to pay for our Christmas when the kids were young. I got asked to play with a group recently but turned it down. Should have got up now in hindsight. Thing is, I can afford any drum kit I want now. Been looking at gretsch kits 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, Copeland is excellent, good style of playing. Went to watch Procal Harum last year and Geoff Dunn is a great drummer. Buddy Rich takes some beating though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playing in a suit wearing a tie. No double or triple bass pedal for him. He could make a drum kit talk back. What a drum solo that is, watched it many times I don’t read music, I’m self taught. I remember asking our music teacher to teach me how to read music but he told me more or less to feck off 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
