Letting go of a beautiful New Stamp K Istanbul 18” at 1502g this one is great for a left side crash ride. Nice woody stick, lush crash, dark bell, wonderful patina, signature is still in great shape and some factory ink can still be seen on the bottom. A very slight keyhole, no other issues...

Nice set of heavily patina’d 14” First stamp Zildjian hats from the 1930s. Heavier weight allows these to cut through the mix in louder bands while maintaining the dark sound. 1071/1252g Top cymbal was a Navy cymbal Some of the only hand hammered era A Zildjians. There are some bell hole...

Curious if anyone here has owned or played the Canopus maple snares? After lots of debating between which snare I should add to my slim one snare collection I seem to have settled on Canopus “the maple”. Seems a good quality snare for the value, and I’ve only heard good things about Canopus...

Curious is anyone has ever put die cast hoops on a Gretsch Brooklyn set. If so what changes did it make to the sound compared to the 302s
