I was a D&D guy back in the 70's along with chess and historical simulations. We combined D&D with Middle Ages Chainmail miniatures rules. Civil War naval miniatures was another popular obsession with some work friends at Citicorp and my brother-in-law.

Also, peering at the photo, the box these came in has a ship date: 12/16/201?. I think it's 2014.

Rims came in today and I decided on the strainer, the Sonique strainer that a member is making. The shell I had planned to put it on is several months overdue. I'm using it on this shell for several reasons. Every single part I'm putting on this is brand new whereas the other strainers I had in...

In the photos the box was labeled Conn Selmer so the shells are no earlier than 1981. I'm waiting for the rims to come in. Will prep the shell and install Imperial lugs, strainer, butt today.

I first got an HPD-10. Even though it was the second edition, after the original HPD-15, it had a few issues. The HPD-20 fixed those issues and I was thrilled with it. It did lose the sensor for speed of release, which was a big loss for the African Water Drum in particular. What HPD-20 did pick...

Most of mine are 9 x 13, including two Milestones, which would be my choice. I have a couple that are 10 x 13, which is OK, and an 11 x 13 Tempus which works. I picked up an almost identical Tempus which is 12 x 13. That's too much. It is being made into 5.5 x13 and 6.5 x 13 six lug snare drums.

New Old Samples or New Old Stock, take your pick. They are unused, drilled for lugs but not for strainer or butt. EDIT: Here's the shell and the thread

It's in a different thread. A member came across 5 Acro, or perhaps unchromed Supra, shells sent to a prospective polishing sub. Ludwig didn't want the samples back and the forum member spent four months acquiring them. They had been sitting in a corner for many years. He made four shells...

When did the Supras change from 1.6 to 2.3 triple flanged hoops? Seems like that would be important in comparing an Acrolite to a Supra. I'm building out a NOS 6.5 x 14 ten lug Acrolite shell, so according to this thread it may sound exactly like a Supra. I'm curious to find out.

I have two with three way butts on Vigent walnut and old Slingerland maple steam bent shells. I love them and with a half dozen snare drums builds ahead have stockpiled a 3 way and a 5 way.

I don't mean get the mallets instead of a lower price. One price for everything drum related usually turns out to be the best deal in my experience.

Have him throw in some stuff, like those lambswool mallets.

Sorry for my lack of reading comprehension. I blame old age.

Wow, If I didn't already have a 6.5 x 14 steam bent walnut snare with maple hoops I'd be all over this. I can testify that maple hoops on a single ply walnut snare is a very good thing, enhances the natural low end of walnut and the cross stick is wonderful.

1965 red satin flame Slingerland: 8x12, 14x14, 16x16, 14x22 with 6.5x14 brass snare that I played exclusively for three decades. Like a comfortable old shoe; the set I would leave at the theater when doing a show. Still have it. It was the kit I used a few years back with the band Black Lodge...

Man, you two have the parts. I used a Ludwig snare drum from 1963 to 1975 but haven't owned one for decades and have no Ludwig parts on hand. Part of the appeal of this project was having a Ludwig snare drum again.

I got my new Imperials from a guy who took them off a new Supra in order to put on tube lugs. I was going to use tube lugs but decided to check ebay first for Bowties and Imperials and got the Imperials for what I would have spent on tube lugs. I finally figured out to put a big piece of blue...

Mine just arrived. After cleaning it I guess I may also try buffing. Thanks myfry2112.

Coincidence: I got one of the shells as well and bought a set of Imperial lugs taken off a new Supra for it. I'm going with Pearl 1.6 Fat Hoops and am trying to decide which strainer butt combo to put on it. I'm applying the axiom that I picked up building partscasters: "If you don't spend...

Low volume? Small stage? A Roland Hpd-20 Handsonic with bass drum and hi hat triggers gives me bass drum, snare, rimshot, cross stick, 4 toms, ride, crash/ride, and three crashes in little more than the space I take up sitting. I can change kits between songs or just use the universal pitch knob...
