Here are some comments, made by my previous customers. After all these years,
it warms my heart, to think of all the joy, I was able to bring to people, and all the music,
these drums are making again, all over the world. It is truly humbling, and awe inspiring, to me!
It's things like this, that keep me going, when times get tough. To submit a comment,
email it to me, and I will post it. I love to hear back from my customers and friends!

unpacked them, and everything was in good shape, as advertised. I'm very
pleased! I hadn't owned a set of drums in 25 years, but I'm going to devote
enough time, to get, at least, a little, of my chops back. It felt good to put them
together... Kind of strange, but just touching a set again, really felt good, and
brought back a lot of memories! You know, that greasy feeling on your thumb
and forefinger, from the tension rods? Well, I hadn't felt that, for a while!"

drum kit, has arrived. I am totally satisfied! It's in very good condition. It
doesn't seem to have been used very often! To my surprise, it looks very different
than my other Telstar: lugs, hoops, the floor tom, and snare drum, are totally
different. I had to pay 900 Euros to customs, but that's forgotten, the kit is
brilliant!"

this morning! The way you sent it, was perfect! It was delivered to my door by the
Swiss post, that's the best way, I think. And it was pretty fast! So let's do it the
same way, for the 1950's Slingerland, Radio King, black diamond pearl, 7x14",
snare drum. The Premier snare is a very nice instrument! Wonderful shell, great
sound, very good condition! I'm very happy with it, and it fits well to the set, too!"

"Jay, Thanks again, for the 1960's Slingerland, bass drum parts! Keep me in your
database, for other stuff, if you would. By the way, you are the only one, that
responded to me, regarding this stuff! You are the King, when it comes to vintage
drums, etc.! That late 1930's Slingerland, Radio King, white marine pearl, 16x16",
floor tom, on your website, is killer! Especially, with calfskin heads. I would never
even think of changing it, but as you know, it just won't fit, with what I have.
Sell it to a museum! It's probably been played by somebody, that's now a legend."

"Hi Jay, the late 1960's Slingerland, black agate, drum set, arrived, last week, and
I still can't believe, how beautiful they are! They're just like brand-new! It was a
good choice of heads too! They sound great! The other drummers at Uni, will be
soooo jealous! Kits like this, are EXTREMELY, hard to come across, in Australia.
I'm going to have to guard it, very closely!!"

Thanks Again,
Wade Saunders, Perth, W. Australia

and he feels he did well! We will know by Christmas. Thank you again, and we
wish you Happy Holidays!"

"Hi Jay, Thanks for shipping the late 1970's Staccato, white, drum set, out to me, so
quickly! It was a nice Christmas present! You did an awesome job of packing them,
and despite U.P.S.' efforts to destroy them, the drums arrived in fine condition. I'm
very happy with the quality of the drums! I will be having them gel-coated. I've
emailed Ray Ayotte, for some advice on that. Thanks for the great drums, and I look
forward, to doing business with you again! As soon as they are set up, I'll send
some pictures your way!"

Happy Holidays,
Michael Champigny, Hudson, Ma.

"Hello Jay, I am writing to let you know, that my 1968 Ludwig, blue oyster pearl,
8x12", tom, arrived today. I really want to thank you, for being there, when
other, "so-called" vintage drum companies, didn't have, what I was looking for!
The drum is in very good condition, and was packed very well! Much to my
surprise, it didn't take as long to arrive, to Alaska, as so many other, percussion
and drum stores, do! I'll tell my drummer buddies about your company. I'm a
customer of yours! Once again, thanks for being there!"

Respectfully,
Avelino R. Mayoral, Anchorage, Al.

drum set, that includes, three mounted toms, bass drum, and a 16x16" floor tom!"

appreciated! The mid 1970's Ludwig, Vistalite, amber, 5x14", snare drum, was
in Excellent+ condition, just as described, on your web site!"
