I'm looking for a new mounting system for my Ludwig mid-tom but I'm not sure what to get. Here's some specs: 1977/78, 14x10, 6-lugs, 3-ply (maple/poplar/maple), re-rings. I currently just have the stock dual L mount. One of the problems I'm having is that the tom sounds awesome and super...

Hello! Long time listener, first time caller! My wife sent me a picture from an estate sale listing. I have a chance to go look early. From what I can tell, it’s maybe a late 60s early 70s Rogers holiday set. I don’t know a ton about Rogers, but I know they’re awesome. Hopefully the rest of the...

This drum sounds even better than it looks and it’s hard to let go. The drum is from the HSS era of Slingerland and features the TDR strainer and throw-off system as well as dual tensioners to dial in your sound. The drum has been played and has a couple nicks as pictured. You will be the only...

help me identify this little guy!! thanks in advance!

I acquired this snare recently and I am trying to find out it's history. Obviously, it has been heavily modified, but what was it before? I may want to try and restore it back to it's former glory if I can get my hands on the original parts. What I have determined is that it looks like a Tama...

Hi All Got this tom mount a few weeks ago. I think its an early 70s Slingerland mount, but it doesn't fit any of the 70s Slingerland toms I have. It came as a throw in with a slingerland kit and some other random parts. Most of the time when I see these they have 1 arm, not two and this only...

it’s always fun taking a vintage piece apart and see the parts of the wrap that havnt seen the light of day in 50+ years. I was curious if anyone has a secret on how to bring the color back? Might be a little different on the vintage astro ludwig standard wraps because it’s a strange material...

SOLD... ANOTHER PRICE DROP!!!!!!!! I need space in my basement. Please take these away... :) Great sounding Yamaha D22 Brown Willow 3-piece (sizes 9x13, 16x16, 14x22) from late 1960s. NOW $550 - I'm close to NYC, and fairly easy to meet in tri-state area if you want to pick these up. Wrap...

I've had these Yamaha drums since high school, and it was my high school's old set. I've never really known much about them except they were old. Looking into it more, I belive they are 1970's from the Yamaha badge shape. There isn't a model number, and the serial number is only four letters...

I recently picked up this cool, rather old smelling Gretsch kit: 24” x 16” bass drum 16” concert floor tom 15” concert rack tom 14” concert rack tom 13” concert rack tom 18” floor tom (last pic, this one has a reso rim, unlike the others) Also came with a cool 14” x 6” Rogers snare I included...

Hi guys - found this weird drum online at a price I’m comfortable taking a chance on and it just arrived. The listing said it was a 15” drum, but in actuality it’s 14.5” across. Trying to figure out if I can get plastic/non-calf heads made for it and if it’s worth it. Or maybe just have new...

please help me identify this vintage tama drum, what year?

Hi folks, does anybody have any information about this Tama snare? Unfortunately, as you can see on the photos, the previous owner drilled two large holes in the shell. Are these Freedom lugs? What’s the name of the throwoff? what series… Any information is welcome! Thanks in advance, Spiro

I have a Brady Snare Drum in very good condition. No scratches at all. I purchased this drum in the beginning of 1994 when I was a senior in high school. I had a drum teacher named Michael Briggs that I believe was hired by Brady Drums to find distributors for them in the Houston area. I was...
