I had the Marotta cherry red Hipgig for a while and it was a dream come true! However, investigate this fully before you purchase; this kit was also pretty...
Yeah, I know those little drums have got some lumber in 'em. The advantages for me would a smaller footprint on stage and fewer trips schlepping gear to get...
... Hey 'Zilla, Does it have to be as drastic a change as moving to a Hip-Gig? Can't you pare down what you have now? (I see to recall you have a fairly large...

'Zilla, One other thing I forgot to mention was the weight issue someone else brought up. I know the shells used to comprise the Hip Gig Jr. (aka, the Manu...
"...moved into an improvisational-Americana style. Our first song last gig lasted almost 1 hour 40 minutes..." I love jamming! Some of the best music I ever...
'Zilla, Much luck with that project. Sounds like you guys know how to live, having a roadie and all! Say, speaking of guitarists, I learned some time ago that...
"...if you ever run into a guy with a british accent, who goes by "Ciggy" (aka Andrew Cater), tell him I said hello..." I will absolutely keep an eye AND ear...
I recently heard that Zildjian replaced the Z custom line with the Z3. My favorite ride was the 20" Z custom. Does anybody know how similar the Z3s sound to...
If you take care of your ride there's no reason it shouldn't last for fifty years. There are lots of vintage Zildjians around that are in great shape if you...
My workplace sells Zildjian. They replaced the Z Custom with Z3, because the old Z Customs are so heavy that musicians said they weren't "musical" enough. The...
"...If you take care of your ride there's no reason it shouldn't last for fifty years..." Very true. I have a 22" Zildjian sizzle ride that I'VE had for...

A quote from Wikipedia regarding Charlie: "A famous anecdote relates that during the mid-1980s, an intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts's hotel room in the middle...
If you Google 'vintage japanese drums ' you'll get plenty of information. The first two that'll tell you a lot are: http://www.vintagedrummuseum.com/Japan/ ...
Tim, Whenever you have a question about "vintage" drums, always check with the Vintage Drum Guide. Here's their quip on drums made in Japan during the 1960's -...
