10th grade,1969,was taking a class called "music appreciation",taught by the band director,was not in the band, all my friend drummers were, i went to school with keith moon, ginger baker and ringo starr,played on a small record player on a stool where my non-existant hi hat was[ yes, i occasionally hit the record player]anywho, one class the teacher did not show up, after about 5 minutes kids were leaving,after about 10 i went up to the drums-they had 3 ludwig snares on stands,and the sticks were there, so i started banging,one was a 6 1/2 super sensitive, man, the rebound was nothing like the mij i had at home, then i eyed the tymps, this was bold and i knew that i would get in trouble if i took the covers off, but i did and banged on the two tymps for about 10 minutes, my first and only time ,it was great. i am in the process of retiring and one thing i'm going to do is get a place where i can play my drumsets[same stuff-the who, cream, beatles, hendrix] and i'm going to get a pair of tymps,they will be particularly fun to bang on during our extreme central florida thunder storms, glad i found your channel ,peace! mitt
