Lil' Stick's new drum set - Guitars101

**CanyonCarver** · 12-24-2003, 08:18 AM

Last nite I finished polishing and cleaning this used set I got for my son, Lil' Stick. Took over 6 hours spread over three days to do it behind his back. 15 years of grime and wear wasn't easy to get rid of, but safe for the drum heads, the kit looks showroom fresh.

I'll tell about his reaction on Xmas morning when he sees this monster.

Jeez dude, that is a freakin nice looking kit! He will be thirlled I am sure [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

Thanks! I really hope he sticks to his sticks and we don't have to sell the kit if he looses interest.
I was never a sports guy so we don't throw balls for fun around the yard. THIS would be my version of throwing ball with my son... so I wanted him to have a really nice ball.

Good luck CC...I got a 5 year old fit to burst here at the moment-it's 6pm and he's gonna go off like a fire cracker before the nights thru! No rock n roll toys for him this year but I'm gonna look to hook him up with a 1/2 size Squier strat next...let us know his reaction! [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

ya those are Ludwigs "rockers" for sure CC... i can tell by the bass drum rims... fucking beautiful drums man... are those 24" bass drums or 22"?

Wow - beautiful drum kit, Canyoncarver. Nothing like starting out with the best equipment. There's no doubt that your boy will flip after seeing that baby. Let us know how it goes. I'll be politically incorrect and say it "Merry Christmas"!

**CanyonCarver** · 12-24-2003, 02:22 PM

Thanks for the reactions, bros! I feel lucky to have scored the whole bit for $500.

Gutwrench, the bass drum is a 22-inch, snare 14, 12 and 13 toms, 16 floor tom. I went to the store today to find quiet pads for the drums... but looks like Xmas won't go quiety this year in the CC household, as the store ran out of the suckers! It's gonna be a loud morning!
We'll be spreading the joy and splitting ear drums fur sure, baby!

Look for a full report of the freak fest right here, in about 24 hours I'd say...

right on! Meryy Xmas, and rock on, lil stick!!

**CanyonCarver** · 12-25-2003, 04:49 PM

Lil' Stick is very happy and grateful. He's started to practice today and is working on his chops.
The drum set is now in his room and looks terrific, like new! You'd never guess it's 15 years old...
