May Trivia Answer :
Q: What kind(s) of drumset(s) besides Slingerland has Mario played on TV performances?
A: The answer I was looking for was DW drums. Those are the drums I know he played besides Slingerland could be that he could have played Pearl Drums or another kind but I am not aware of that.
No winners but I still got some response from those who tried.
Let it be known that the ignorant in the ways of drums know little about the companies. I didn't know he EVER played another kind, so Vanessa, I'm dying to know. I tried to do research, but this: a Studio King New Standard Kit is a type of Slingerland, right? ~Raven
Pearl drums ~Chaser1081@aol.com
I think this is a trick question!! Mario only plays Singerland! But if he
doesn't, then I have no clue! I am still learning all my Mario facts! :-)
