STILL GONNA DO IT (MAYBE NEXT YEAR!)

(MISTER COOPER WORKING HIS MAGIC!)

SINCE RETURNING TO THE DRUM RANKS 4YEARS AGO AFTER A LENGHTY

"RETIREMENT", I HAVE COLLECTED MANY SNARE DRUMS TO SUIT MY NEEDS

SINCE DRUMS ARE A PASSION OF MINE: PLAYING, COLLECTING, RESTORING.

I CAME CLOSE TO HAVING ABOUT 10 DIFFERENT SNARE DRUMS FROM VARIOUS

MANUFACTURERS, AND EACH ONE OF THEM WAS UNIQUE.

I EVEN HAD A APPRENTICE OF ED 'BIG DADDY' ROTH PIN-STRIPE OF MY

PICCOLO SNARES AND I GET LOADS OF COMPLIMENTS ON IT!

SINCE THEN, ABOUT 2 OF THE 'HARDLY USED' SNARE HAVE BEEN SOLD

TO SCALE DOWN MY LOT (AS WELL AS HELP EASE SOME BILLS).

NOW THAT I AM BACK IN THE MODE OF DRUMMING, I HAVE PLANS FOR

NEXT YEAR'S SNARE PROJECT!

READY?

THE 'COOP' SNARE!

IN HONOR OF THE GREAT ARTIST, I WILL TRACK DOWN A DW SNARE

AND SPLASH THE DRUM WITH COOP STICKERS OF MY LIKING, AND THEN

HAVE IT CLEAR COATED FOR PROTECTION! UPON COMPLETING THIS

PROJECT, I WILL CONTACT COOP TO HAVE HIM SIGN THE INSIDE OF THE

DRUM TO AUTHENTICATE IT! STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES!
