Well, it seems we're not the only parents with this bright idea! as there is a severe shortage in the paper of the normally readily available sets! [img]smile.gif[/img]
His (great)uncle plays professionally as a drummer (he's a retired high school band master who still plays at get togethers, functions and such) and the uncle's son is a superbly talented keyboardest. I spoke with him this morn and he says he has cymbals he bought in the 70s and his drums aren't much younger! (and still sounding *good*) Musical ability runs strongly in both families, both instrumental and vocal. Uncle is making a few phone calls today to buddies of his...
Of course, if they rebuild the drum set like they did their pc---::shakes head::--nope, I don't even want to think about it! (hint...this is the only machine that is up and running--and totally off limits to take-apart!)
Barb, hubby and I want a pool table so badly.....but have absolutely no place to put one! It'll be hard enough to put a drum set in the boys' room (and still walk thru the usual boy mess

)
