AXP889 posted:I'm a drummer. I keep a vintage set my father and I restored to play every so often, but after playing in the various school bands (marching, concert, pep, jazz, orchestra) through high school, I was in a highland pipe and drum band, and now I play a drum for a revolutionary war parade group.
AXP889, the Highland band must have been fun. And I love the fact that you and your father restored a drum set together. Your current activity must be fun. I'm in Mass. and there's a popular fife and drum group here. Your post reminded me that, in 1976, I was the fife master for a recreated Revolutionary-era militia. My love of history is definitely tied into a love of trains - real and model.
