Walked in to buy a point, left with this beauty for a mere £40.

Unboxed but runs sweet as a nut. Front coupling and pocket removed (I do this anyway).



PS think the forum gallery may be having a moment. Uploading from an iPhone but the photo keeps going all Australian on us (it's the correct orientation on the phone)!

Not sure what they are, but the tank containers that always seem to be at the back of the Inverness Tesco train, seen here:

Quote from: Newportnobby on April 24, 2026, 09:42:17 PMHaving seen Buddy Rich in Bletchley with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra I would consider him the best drummer. Such a shame the much vaunted drum battle between him and Ginger Baker never happened

But the drum battle with Animal from the Muppets did  :D

Saw him at the Ronny Scots club with his orchestra c1976, brilliant.

Mike Mangini (ex Dream Theater) as seen above does hold the World Record as the fastest drummer in the category Bare Hand Single Stroke Roll: Mike Mangini - [18.96 strokes a second] 1138 Strokes in 60 seconds - Bare Hand Speed . On the other hand John's ( @Train Waiting ) "Woody" woodpecker's far Eastern cousin, the Japanese pygmy woodpecker's drumming can exceed 38 beats per second.

Martin @port perran , to be honest I find drum solo's a bit tedious and self indulgent. They work better when integrated into a track such as Steve Gadd's contribution to Steely Dan's "Aja" - especially on the outro.

Quote from: Bealman on April 24, 2026, 10:01:22 AMWhen I first glanced at that second picture, it reminded me of the toilet on the second floor of the three story terraced house in Stockton-on-Tees I lived in back in 1972....

Nuff said!!! :confused1:

Then I shall be forever grateful that I didn't find myself on the first floor of said dwelling hoose in SuperbStockton!

All the best, George.
