Please contact me to inquire about purchasing any of the below drums. Generally I ship worldwide, though many countries have dimensional restrictions that make large bass drums almost impossible to ship. Reasonable offers will be considered.
Red & Gold Fade – $2000
This kit is a four-piece with snare, 8×12/15×16/12×22/5×14.
8×12 rack tom – Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage shell, recent vintage. WFL or Ludwig single-point eyelet lugs, Ludwig claws, Walberg & Auge tension rods, a Conn-era Ludwig or Leedy floating hoop clamp mount adapted from a marching leg brace. Hoops are steam bent solid maple.
15×16 floor tom (16″ head size) – Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage shell, recent vintage. WFL or Ludwig single-point eyelet lugs, Ludwig claws, Walberg & Auge square head tension rods, Leedy timpani-style thumb rods, WFL leg brackets, stainless bent legs. Hoops are steam bent solid maple.
12×22 bass drum – Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage shell, recent vintage. Ludwig tube lugs and claws, Walberg & Auge tension rods, Leedy disappearing spur brackets. Hoops are 3-ply and solid maple vintage respectively, of unknown origin. Inlay strips are from a vintage Japanese drum with an attractive UV fade.
5×14 snare – 80s Tama SuperStar birch shell, this piece was a cutoff from a concert tom. (Modded) pre-1920 Ludwig strainer, Slingerland 30s tube lugs, Kent rims, Ludwig rim clips and tension rods. Butt plate of unknown origin, probably British.
All drums have a roundover outer bearing edge with a 45-degree inner cut, smoothed and oiled. They are plenty loud enough for rock and roll but have a warm tone and tune up easily. The snare cracks, and the strainer stays in place effectively. Almost every piece of hardware is vintage, including the mounting screws and washers. Hand-stamped badges complete the vibe.
