I was scrolling through a vintage drummer Facebook group one day, and I came across a post from Joe Ciucci. Rather, I came across an open-mouth drool worthy video of his 1940 restored Slingerland Radio Kings…. Joe was just the guy attached to the post! I sent a message to Joe, and we struck up a conversation. Joe turned out to be as nice as his drums, and I offered to showcase the drums in Not So Modern Drummer. He took me up on the offer, and here we are today. Joe was instrumental in setting up our Nashville Drum Show trip to ATL Drum Collective, and if you came to the Nashville show, you couldn't have missed the Radio Kings in the vintage drum museum.

I remind my wife all the time, there's never a dull moment in our lives.
I'm Chris, and that's my little girl Avery atop my limited edition Pearl snare drum. I run the production side of Not So Modern Drummer, Drum Room Marketing, and the Nashville Drum Show. She runs the show at home.
I'm fortunate enough that George hired me on to handle production management here at Not So Modern Drummer. What we didn't know at the time, is that my little girl would be born just about the time we're ready to take our new marketing and branding plans public. It took a bit of planning - and there's been many long, sleepless nights for both of us - but both Avery and NSMD are doing better than ever.
So this is what I got, and I'm pretty proud of both!
