Two really cool guys hanging out and talking drums. Doesn’t get much better than this. Also note that Don is a really down to earth guy who loves quality drums…this shows in everything DW does and why the are the leading drum maker on the planet.
Don is a wonderful person, and this interview shows that! DW is a dream company and I am a proud member of Drum Channel since the beginning, and is absolutely the best place to learn drums worldwide!!! 👏👏👏🥁🥁🥁
Camco owner wanted to sell Camco machinery to someone like Don who would continue the production so as not to piss anyone off, I love to hear a gentleman like Don say 'Not piss anyone off', lol great interview. It is amazing how it all came together...
Interesting on the Radio King. Back in the Early 90s, the Radio King snare drums were offered again by the withering Slingerland company to revive them. I am a repairman in Wisconsin. Richelieu Banjo, not 5 miles from me, were steam bending those shells, gluing them and then turning them down to the proper thickness. Solid Maple. I went to visit them to see way they were doing when I found out who was being them. Not sure why they didn't take off, but they were supposed to be the real deal.
Love this podcast. !!!! Thanks for sharing you guys kill it. I own dw gear and post vids on my channel of their gear so I love dw. Thanks for creating such beautiful content
I thought that was interesting he didn’t mention Gretsch when he talked about Ludwig, Slingerland and Rogers being the big three makers back in the day. Gretsch was very popular, especially among the jazz players.
Drum History Podcast Rocks!!! Thanks Bart what a great interview with DON LOMBARDI!!!
I had an old collar lock drum set got a few old chain camco pedals....still work great.

No way is Roland the slightest bit interested in Slingerland. Don selling DW finally killed Slingerland.
Great pod cast guys.i really enjoyed it.
Congratulations on another immensely important and enjoyable interview!
Drumeo, I looked on D W's website, I didnt see any Slingerland drumkits for sale, is that going to happen or is it on hold ?
Great show man!
That was deep when he said that the drums reveal the true personality of the player more so than most instruments.

Great podcast I don’t think Slingerland will get launched.
Ray Ayotte, take notes...
Don seems like a really great guy. A lover of drums. Im sure him and I could talk for hours. I am very excited to get a new RadioKing snare drum!!!
Don is a very good guy. I hope Slingerland still happens!

@@DrumHistoryPodcast No way. Ask Mr. Masahiro Minowa. Slingerland is dead.
Don, Don’t forget GRETCH !
