Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Hey, all! Happy New Year 'n' all that.
So I've got some annoying and unfortunate news to pass on from the Summerlad. They've been having a great ten days or so doing shows at the High Performance Rodeo and opening for Enon, but sometime during that span of time, Dean Martin (the drummer, not the RatPacker) got a bunch of his equipment ripped off. He describes it in this way:
"So I had 2 duffle bags of hardware, which had 8 stands, cowbells, wooden blocks, rack mounts, boom stands, 2 kickpedals, drum stool, hi hat stand, snare stands....etc.
As well, there was a cymbal bag that had been taken. Had stuff from late '60s, unmarked Zildjian cymbals sizes, 18"crashes, 16" thin crash, 14" hihats, 8" splash, Sabian 18" china boy, 17" thin crash, 20" crash ride,14" hi hats and a hand hammered 18" china boy."
So if you happen to come across this stuff in your travels (i.e., in a pawnshop, in the back of a van, on someone's drum kit that never used to be as cool as it is now and they didn't have the money to buy all that stuff), feel free to drop The Summerlad or us here at SBR a line.
Thanks!
