Hello everyone-
Here are a few shots of my basement sale find. I have been lusting for some Palisades Park models, and, being one to "live right" (yeah,right.. ) these came into my life. The conga head needed replacing, there was grime everywhere, but no structural problems. Scratches and a few chips, nothing that can't be repaired. They are very sweet-sounding! At any rate-enjoy!
Thanks,
Paul

Nice find!!!

Enjoy...

Hey Paul, Did you get these off of the Albany Craigslist? I was in Albany that weekend and tried to get them but you must have beat me to it! Lucky Skunk! Congrats! Its probably for the better, I really didn't need anymore drums...especially black palisades park LP's...Heres' my babies below

But if you did get those off of Albany's craigslist...the deal was super sweet! What a blessing!

Yah, the 70s were good, I love mine!

Thanks guys,I appreciate the responses!!

JG: Thank you, I sure will!!
Apollo: WOW! Very beautiful!!!
Sakuntu: Albany? Craigslist? Yes. That must have been you on the phone as I was leaving his basement, I told him to tell you I'm not there.... Sweet deal indeed, I had a very blessed couple of scores. Now to actually PLAY! Thanks! Will you PM me please? Thanks!!!

Hey Paul,
You've got a great set that is very light and sounds killer with Hand picks, mule or cow, I have had all three on mine. I had a basement score yesterday but not as cool and exciting as finding a set of Park Palisades but interesting. I found this old Hand pick at a garage sale that blew my mind because I haven't seen one of these old thick no see through white ones in a long time, the condition is dam near new. I'm not sure if it's water buffalo or maybe it is but put through some chemical bath or maybe it's cow.

Hi apollo-
EXCELLENT score, my friend!!! It's amazing what we find...and sometimes muss out on too. That's a nice one!!!!
Paul

That looks like the old cowskins they used to make, nice stuff.

Thanks guys, I think I'm gonna hang this one on the wall......or maybe not.

It's been a while but I'm back guys...hope all is good.

I too am still in the market for fiberglass palisades (pref black). I would have jumped on those....I can make it to albany in about 2 hrs, maybe 1.5 if I was going for those lol. Nice find
