Drums
 

Some get practice more than others...

Needs more cowbell.

Classic flat-base cymbal stands and rail-mount tom hardware.

Don't recognize those bass drum spurs, though. Never seen y-shaped ones.

Well they are not much short of 500 years old although I do have a feeling the photo might be faked. The caption is wrong too unless old Harry had another couple of weddings that the history books missed out.

You're right, Henry officially had only 6 wives. :blush:

Well, yeah. The kit pictured here would have been used starting in around the 1950s. Here's a bunch of kits from the 1920s-1930s, and they look super weird.

The "drum set" is about 100 years old. The foot-operated bass drum pedal was invented, I think 1908? Allowed one player to combine the bass and snare from European-style marching bands. The only "toms" were, like, a Chinese bongo with a tacked-on head. Cymbals were also china-type "lion" cymbals, and a little later, very small (under 12") of Turkish-type bronze cymbals--used only for accents--NOT a time-keeping device. The "high hat" pedal came about in the 1920s. It was a technological advanced version of this thing:

and more drums...

No comment...

Drummers are nuts, all of them, stone crazy... :crazy:

There's a guy even worse than this. Video only on FB, but here's some captures:

Pretty set, all clean and spiffy except where the pedal hits the base.

Beard's new kit...

Drums:

Timpanist leads the way...

The drums of war.

Timpanist on a motorcycle? That's pretty ƒ#ckin' epic.

A trike with the single wheel in the rear like the Good Humor man's bicycle. I don't remember ever seeing one. They probably swap the drums for machine guns when the shit hits the fan.

Riccardo Merlini - holy shit, you'll be glad you looked. :mg:
It's only 48 seconds but you'll watch it more than once.

I can't even.

Shades of John Bonham...

Also, is it just me, or, are those sticks slimmer than usual?

More like chopsticks but that may be what they use on that type of electronic drum, I don't know. Probably go faster with them than a normal drumstick.

Dylan Wissing plays 50 of his snare drums...
