Christmas, 1975 or 1976.
Mickey Mouse drums, naturally. The picture is grainy, but I found this picture on eBay so we could appreciate the art in all of its 1970s Psychedelic Funk!
I don’t remember the drum set after this day but I spent years loving the Sit-n-Spin in the corner. Plus, you HAVE to love the red sofa!
Somewhere in an old round tin of photos, there’s a picture of my brother playing a similar drum set but with this really bitchin’ ’60s cartoon tiger on the bass drum. I think he was also playing the drums — with his tongue sticking out. It was serious.
