Cuco you and me laugh at the same things. Its funny how everyone in NYC use to go to Jays shop to get thier drums fixed by a former steel worker Jay and his brother, but this guy claims he fixed Jays work. I know Jay worked on Mongos gear , Barretto, and all the heavys Cachette, Patato I could go on forever his metal work is GREAT. I have new gear (LP Classics) as well as my classic drums they all have redeaming qualities I love my Juniors, Fats, Requena, Gon Bops well you all know what I mean, you as a player make the drum If you break drums because you play too hard your playing wrong in my humble opinion. Patato said you do not have to play hard to sound good. Tata did not play hard but had great and unique technique. Once again no es la flecha pero el indio, Its not the arrow but the indian, I was made to play clave first then bell then caja then.... well if you know, you know, if not let me know I will send you a dime and e you can buy a clue. HAHAHA now back to sushi tequilla corona's and RUMBA while you guys talk I play.
