So ..... I just pulled the trigger on this snare. Hoping it scratches my "aluminum snare" itch. Hoping it is Supra like, or Supra adjacent. Certainly looks like it could be, but I've never seen one of these before. Anyone here ever played/owned one ????

I bought this 16x16 while I searched for an 8000 to match my kit. It had split lugs and was in Real Wood, so it "sorta" worked. The split lugs look like what came with the "Tour Custom" series. However, it's a 9000 series (FT-916D OY5016). I've only ever seen the shorter "Gretsch look" lug...

No other wood (except maybe poplar) seems to generate as much ...... ah ....... "spirited" reactions from parts of the drum community. And yeah, like many, my first MIJ stencil kit was made out of it. The band I was in had a Ludwig Hollywood kit. So I knew what a "good" drum set was. And...

You gave it one hell of a fight.

70 today.

So I just recently bought these drums off eBay. Fetched them today. Can't find a whole lot on them. I'm dating them about 1977/78. Someone switched out the old "Slingerland" style spurs for more modern ones. The 13" and 16" toms seem to have all the correct parts, including the speedboat...

Taken me awhile to get all the pieces (can we ever have all the pieces?), but here it is. 24x14, 12x8, 13x9 (not mounted), 14x14, 16x16, 18x16.

Darn near all the parts are here. Meaning, I think I have 'em all, but .... sometimes yes, sometimes not so much. Won't truly know until I go "darn, I'm missing something"! My start is with 3 drums. 12x8, 14x14, and 26x14 (yeah, it's not a Club Date, yet). All Ludwig 3 ply.

Took a little ad-ven-ture to Hollywood, last week. And, took a few pictures. The Slingerland kit, was one of the last kits Buddy Rich played. The black Ludwig kit, was the first drum kit sold, in 1959, by Pro Drum. The cat who owned it, Frank Bordonaro, gave it back to Pro Drum, since he can't...

For you guys and gals that have to spend waaaay to much on new gear. On eBay, for your viewing, and possibly purchasing pleasure ..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Yamaha-Recording-Custom-Drum-Kit-/320876544624?pt=AU_Musical_Instruments_Instruments&hash=item4ab5bb8270#ht_722wt_1175

Hey gang. I just got a 12x8 Ludwig red Vistalite tom and a vintage Zalmer Twin pedal from Bobby ... and I want to tell ya ... the man rocks !!! If you're looking for vintage drums, hard to hind, or not so hard to find, check out Jollity Drum Farm. First off, Bobby is a very pleasant cat to...

So, I just pulled the trigger on a Premier kit. It's a Baron, shows up in the 1975 Premier catalog, a 24 inch kick ... 13, 14, 15, 16, concert toms ... and a 18 inch floor tom. Birch shells with reinforcement rings. Picture shows the kit (catalog photo), but mine will be natural wood finish...

On Nov. 8th, I had a total right hip replacement. New titanium ball for the femur. New plastic (carbon fiber?) socket for the pelvis. That's right, I'm hybrid!!! Anyhow, I'm finishing up on day 7. So far, so good. But, of course, every day is a new day. Anyone here gone down this road before...

Maybe it's not gonna be the last drum set I buy ... but it's certainly the last drum set I'll ever need to buy. A 22" kick I would have preferred, but I can always buy, swap, make, get, etc .... one of those later Without further ado ... ladies and gentlemen ... my 20, 13, 16 GRBM's

Cool story ... whether it's true ... or not ... Saw this somewhere kind of recently, and it seemed apropos: -- In the summer of 1969, a mail sorter at a New York post office received a letter addressed "To The Greatest Drummer in the World." There was no address or return address and the...

A Korg Wave Drum, a Mandala, and an SPD-S. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxgdcw2Cawo&feature=relatedNo more fights with a guitar player who's too loud, or a bass player who wants to be a guitarist. The drummer can now be numero uno.

Yeah, I just found out about it today. Within 10 minutes, a bud and myself found a 12" Yamaha Oak Custom rack tom...and a matching 16" floor. Both were under $200 each. Add a kick drum to the equation, man, you can put a pro level kit together for $700, or less.....shopping at Guitar Center. For...

Got to breakin' all the house rules this season. Usually, drums are kept "upstairs", in the drum room. This project could not have turned out better, if I planned it. 22, 12, 16 set up here. Simple. I haven't put the 13 together yet. Still need some lugs to complete the project. Gruntersdad...
