We can't bust heads like we used to-but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Give me five bees for a quarter,' you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time".

Yes, if you like exactly this sound then this is how you should tune your drums….

Les gooooooo!!!!!

[@mellilore]

Stunning. A 20s Ludwig Black Beauty is already worth more than something by itself, leaving alone the history coming with this drum!

[@SPACEMAN_fkYT]

What a history man. That snare has been in the hands of some of the best drummers.

[@tuknchuk]

Steve, you are pure treasure… Just you being you. Such a delight to see and hear you play and share. Thank you so much for all that you do, have done and are for the drumming community. All the best to you and your son and your family ❤

Incredible piece of history!

[@charliecontrino1626]

WOW! This is THE drum to own! Amazing history!

[@ep4341]

I just saw that original video with Papa Joe. Great to see that. It’s still in the world and still being used the way it should!

[@ChappellDrums]

Oh my goodness, what an amazing piece of history. Mr. Jones is definitely one of the many Musicians who have inspired me. Especially when i get the opportunity to play a Drum solo.

[@mwdrum]

Inner Mounting Flame, wow. Great record. Quite a map of owners and history.

[@peterevans366]

Fantastic history 😮 all of which are/were amazing drummers ❤❤❤🙏

[@BillRayDrums]

Wow. That's a "timepiece" if ever there was one!

[@HuckFinn212]

OMG - What a history!...Well, at least I own a 18" Ufip Natural China myself. I remember when I saw Charlie playing "my" cymbal in the Shine a Light movie. He had played other Ufip chinas and flat rides before, but I never had never seen him playing a Natural Series china - it sounded amazing. He used to play them up side down as a main crash on bis left side. That's a big part of bis sound.

Inner mounting flame! Wow

[@luiszuluaga6575]

Steve, you absolutely qualify and deserve to play this beautiful drum. However, if Nigel from Spinal Tap were a drummer, he’d say for us to not even breathe on it! 🤷🏻‍♂️😅👉🏼🥁
