My rehearsal room mate moved it so now I have the whole space to myself.
Jazz kit and rock kit set up simultaneously so I can practice both country AND western.
Maybe the big kit needs couple of splashes to make it really over the top.

All the cymbals are Funch
Smaller kit currently has 20" Elvin Jones tribute, 23" Classic and 20" Spizzichino tribute and 14" Old K clone hats.
Bigger kit has 20" vintage A tribute, 22" Old K IIIB clone and 18" old k clone and 15" Nefertiti hats.

What snare is that? 8x14?

Yup! The faux round badge mutant caddy green frogs. They are orphan SSBs with a converted floor tom as the bass drum, and yes it is 10 lugs.

As they were before I got them:


I added period correct spurs and a rail mount:

Good eye. It is indeed 14 x 8. Pretty sure its a one off made by Paul Bleifuss who built drums in the early aughts. Eight ply maple with an inner play of fiberglass that was originally made for a symphonic drummer in San Diego but made its way to a good friend and on to me who have exchanged it back and for a few times. Great sensitivity, tone, projection, etc but probably my favorite snare for jazz and amazing for brushwork.

Beautiful drum. First time I heard a Bleifuss was opening for George Sluppick’s (Sluprock) band at the time (Robert Walter’s 20th Congress), and we shared a kit (his beautiful Rogers kit). I’ve actually only seen a few since, was always intrigued.

Thanks. George is who I got this snare, aka "Big Brown" from.
