Musician's Picture Thread

My Hammond D6 is chopped, lower cabinetry and upper manual removed, it is only a couple hundred pounds. It fits exactly in the space occupied by the back seat of a Plymouth Duster with the seat and armrests removed. I have been considering making mini Leslies with continuously variable rotation speed and reversible rotation. To be honest though, the D6 rarely moves, I have a Hammond XB2 that sounds almost dead on when run through tube stages except that you cannot wobble the generator rotors (risky anyway as you run the risk of needing to engage the starter if you lose too many RPMs) and a Kurzweil SP88. I don't rock the organ to get the spring reverb to go crazy like Jon does (I can't afford to fix it if I drop it) if I need to crash a spring reverb I have a couple amps with springs that I kick, it sounds almost the same

Rather than show a picture of my meager drum set, I'll post a picture of who I teach.

I volunteer at the Jr. High and High School as the drumline director. When I moved to this town the band was miserable and the drummers couldn't keep a beat to save their life. Here is a picture of them tonight while practicing for a school tallent show. They got first place.

I never thought I'd enjoy teaching percussion as much as I do. I've played for 20 years and love it, but teaching kids how to play brings the joy to a whole new level.
