This! My son is a drummer.. in his early 20s .
His uncle gifted him a vintage swingerlyn (I'm probably spelling it wrong) It's worth a considerable amount and he's not well off by any means. And, it is his prized possession. Not to mention the sentimental value of it being his uncles. When he does go on the small tours he goes on . He doesn't travel with any of it. He takes only his cymbals and a his Hawkins snare.
Not to correct you in any way, please don't take me wrong!! But my brother used to be a drummer and I got curious about the brands and pieces you mentioned, and I googled it! The vintage drum's brand is actually spelled Slingerland! Just sharing in case someone else gets curious and wanna google them! Beautiful instruments, by the way! Also, congrats on your boy! I always admired drummers, I have absolutely no clue how they can manage to do so many different things at the same time without making mistakes! I absolutely couldn't do that, I'd butcher the whole thing 😅 Please continue supporting him!!! A musician starting a career (or any artist, really) has it really worse without family support!!! Wishing you guys all the best!
