So, I’ve been searching for a vintage drum set for the past few months. In case you’re wondering, I’m looking for a Gretsch “round badge” kit from the late 50’s to early 60’s. I just crave that Charlie Watts sound. If you’ve got one, let me know.
That’s not the reason for this post. In my search for the perfect vintage drum set, I’ve been reduced to doing Google searches and going through page after page of results in hopes that they might hold that hidden drum bargain. Not surprisingly, I’ve come across a few nut jobs. Everything from patriotic, vietnam vet drummers to über-drum geeks to the scary “look at my drums in this black light!” types. Drummers Web is one such place.
It’s a virtual swap meet of questionable merchandise, lost souls, bad spelling, bad taste, poor web design, mean-spirited rants and just about everything else that makes this internet thing so insanely great.
Here’s a great rant about, uh, well, I’m not sure, but it’s definitely entertaining: If these guys are drummers………
And then there’s the obligatory fag debate: You’re a fag! No, you are!
But don’t take my word for it, try it yourself! Google search for “drummers”
Enjoy the moronity.
