from Pensacola, Florida of his drum set. Great work Steve!
Steve writes:
Hello Jammin' Sam! Just wanted to let you know,
that they know of you here in Pensacola, Florida. I work with most all
theater groups here and got most of my training in New York, along with my eye for good
drums. My drums are of all kinds, due to the needs of the pit, and stage
work. These pixs are of the drums I've shown off while in use for most Big Band and stage performances.
Note: The Buddy Rich kit was covered in 1997 (w/ your wrap).
The deep dish snare goes with that kit. The Buddy Rich kit never leaves my
house. The swing kit is a mixture of Ludwig and Tama drums, (not
vintage) done in 2003 (also w/ your wrap). This set was used to play a 1940's show called Swingtime
Canteen, about the Andrew sisters during WW II. Needless to say,
thanks was mentioned in the program for the realistic period set of drums.
The latest, of one week, is this Ludwig 61/2 "x14 tube lug snare- re-built
from it's original state. The classic lugs were damaged, so I used tube lugs.
I'm spreading the good news [of your wrap] to as many drummers as I can. You'll be hearing from me
soon. I'm planning to re-cover a Rogers set next. Thanks again for your help in the restoration of these dream drums.
Keep on Jammin' Steve Maniscola (Manny) (Note: Some of
the drums mentioned are not in the above pictures.)

England of his Slingerland drum set. Beautiful work Paul!
Paul writes:
Sam, I have successfully completed the re-covering of my Slingerland kit and have
attached 2 photo's for you to use in any way you wish. The job was very
straightforward and your instructions very clear. The materials were first class and I am delighted with the results.
Thanks and regards, Paul Dackombe
We would like to feature your drums with our wrap here.
