Buddy Rich used several manufacturers throughout his career including Ludwig, Rogers, Slingerland, & Vox kits. But he mostly used the white marine pearl Slingerland kit. You can own his 1968 kit that's been discounted to about $23k from Donn Bennett. (Scroll down to the 7th row.) Several other famous kits available from his 'Drum Vault'. I'm sure financing is available. 💵 https://donnbennett.com/category/drum-gallery/drum-sets/

That was true for me as well watching Crown & The Cadets online. But when I experienced them live. 🙌 There's no comparison watching these shows online vs live & 'in person'. ✅

Think we posted at the same time. I'm glad they've released the mock-up so I can get record my 'ear worms' to memory.

I think the ballad will be one of the great moments in DCI history. Sandi's keyboard arrangements!

In addition to @contraguard05's explanation, the corps also avoid HR issues by hiring 'part-time' contract employees. 👍

Bravo to this thread & all of your comments! 🙌

"Built like a Winnebago"! Adding that to my repertoire 😂

Maybe he wants to make a test run to get the lay of the land & make sure the steaks are rare. Or medium? 🤷‍♂️ I think there's a Longhorn Steak House behind the Embassy.

Or a puffy shirt...

Yes, I was in that mess with one gate (Gate 3). The next year they opened another gate & it went much smoother but the concessions are still congested. I drank a bottle of water before entering & also took a bottle in my pocket. 😁 @Terri Schehr

I skipped last year but as @drumhead31 stated, it's a great venue except I need a little more knee room in the chair back section. 😁 There's been a lot of construction in the past taking up some of the stadium parking. May have been completed by now but there is parking around campus if you're ok to walk. I have been just taking Lyft from the hotel.

Not a bad venue (needs upgrading), but I understand It was a logistics nightmare for parking, warm up, etc.

The next thing, air conditioned shakos for DCI; wait... 😂

The positive about the new turf installation in LOS should be no weather delays. Here's hoping everything goes well & as planned. I guess we could all go to Military Park for a stand still. 🤷‍♂️🧐

They could pick up a great deal on a set of bus tires. Buy 4 get 4 free. 😁
