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. 😁

I think I've stayed in what was equivalent to a barn on tour. Some barns are actually nicer. 😁

I'm just not following @jmc5682 & the nuance thing. I've got three degrees but I guess I'm just not that smart. But I know what love is. 😂

That 2am Waffle House 'scrambled plate' run after a show or gig! True story; guy tries to hide from the police in the ceiling of a Waffle House. 😂

I was about to say this is a good thread for the people of Walmart. 😂

EMCproductions guy released a video & kind of "lays it all out". He goes down the "GH rabbit hole" at 3:55.

Same; I was ok with the narration & theme. I actually loved the 'dance & groove' section. Everyone was dancing in my section except for an older gentleman behind me. I apologized to him but he laughed & said was enjoying it. I think he had some mobility issues. The soloist was incredible!

Loved the show right there & right then. That ballad!

👀😄

Are you referring the a potential new "Cadets" organization? Or "The Cadets of Memphis"? 🧐

Controversial I know, but I actually liked the black uniforms with the Shostakovich book. Bocook, McNutt, & Moyer!
