What's Your Latest Drum Purchase?

[Christian C.]

Show off your most recent drum purchases here!
Since we have a thread like this for cymbals, why don't we have one for drums and everything else drum related?

Here are my purchases/arrivals over the last 3 months:

Custom Pork Pie birch shell kit in blue sparkle wrap. Sizes are 20x14, 8x7, 10x7, 12x8, and 16x14. More pics to come later:



Gretsch 14x5 Hammered Brass snare:


And I scooped this one up last night. I had been lusting for a solid shell snare drum and the price dropped to the point where I couldn't say no.
Doc Sweeney 14x5.5 solid cherry snare drum:



Also picked up a few Ahead Armor snare cases

Show us what you've got!

My most recent purchase was a few months back now and was this locally built Mahogany/Walnut kit with Maple hoops which just so happens to match very closely my Brady Sheoak block snare, also with maple hoops......

7x14 solid walnut

 

[Old Dog]

This is from Stubblefield Drums. Very very nice and well built. The man took a lot of time to build this 20" x 12" birch bass drum. Stubblefield lugs, maple hoops. . .

Here is mine 12" Pork Pie

Those are spectacular

 

[Frank Godiva]

Sonor 10" Beech Performer in Midnight Blue, 6 ply round-over

Made in 1985, great match

 

[TheMattJones88]

Not the greatest pictures, but I was able to find a matching 16" floor tom for my Noble and Cooley kit. The drum was made two years later, but the finish matches my drums EXACTLY, which is baffling for a company that makes 100% custom drums.

Rogers Delta set with upgraded Holiday snare from Luxor.

 

[Snooter]

My latest purchase was a beautiful 7x14 Sheoak block snare from Oneill drums

 

[EvEnStEvEn]

Most recent was a Gretsch Gold Series maple stave in barn board gray.

A year ago I sold a Nashville RK.

Almost a year to the day I had the chance to buy it back, so I did.

And the previous owner is incredibly meticulous - he had detailed the drum, had a recent head and bought another set of Slingerland stamped hoops. I got the drum back in better shape than when I sold it. Lucky me!

 

[RogersLudwig]

Five pairs of Vic Firth AJ-1 sticks and a Vater vintage bomber

 

[Ptrick]

Gretsch solid steel snare, 14x6.5, and I LOVE IT!

 

[DanRH]

My Yamaha 8x14 Recording Custom snare. Love that thing! Oh and my set (14 hats/17 crash/16 Ozone/ 20 Ride) of Sabian Monarch cymbals for low volume situations.

Great choice. I have the mid-1980s version of that snare, in piano black lacquer. Bought it a long time ago, used, for super cheap. People didn't know/care what they had back then. Good luck with it!

23” bass
8”, 10”, 12” toms
15” floor Tom
14x6 top edge snare

Very curious — what's life like with a 23" kick? I own 22"s and 24"s, but am wondering what the space in between is all about. Also, are odd-size heads (I see you also have a 15") easy to find?

 

[Fat Drummer]

Cool idea, I always enjoy reading the cymbal version so I know I will have fun watching this one as well!

Here is my latest snare, (I will post my latest kit tomorrow) a George Way 6.5”X14” Hollywood COB with a one off patina finish....

Ludwig Classic Birch 10/12/14/22 with 5x14 matching snare:

Also a natural finish Classic Birch 16x16 that I’m going to stain to match. The kit came with two 700 Series boom stands and a 900 series snare and tom stand. I bought a set of H&B Galaxy bags for it and a Rocker single Tom mount when I want to go one up/two down.
