1937 12X14 Dupont Color (DUCO) tom
Decent playable condition. Some gouges and scratches here and there... nothing huge.
The tag is messed up but still visible. This tag was only...

Hello! I've been away too long. Dropped fb 3 wks ago... don't miss it :)
Good to be back here.
This 74 Gretsch 4108 aluminum shelled snare is a good one. I use it with my 68 Sunset Satin Flame 20...

I saw an ad for Stage Customs in a 1998 Down Beat magazine and the drums had full-length lugs like the green drums I posted here. Also, I just reviewed a post on a Yamaha Forum that stated Stage...

Hello guys!

Haha.......well I know this is a Forum that does not allow advertising for sale so I was trying to be discrete. I'm not advertising for sale here. I'm just looking for some...

Wow! Beauties! Congratulations! Yes - they do look like fun to play. Spectacular looking kit.

I was looking in some on-line Yamaha catalogs and could not find the Stage Customs in the 70's....they may be there but I did not see them. I did find them in the 80's....however, in the 86 Yamaha...

Does anyone here know roughly what year these Yamaha Stage Custom shells are? I'm guessing late 90's.

A friend dropped them off and asked me to sell them for him (not here). He switched out the...

One of the most 'sought after' kits by most Vintage Gretsch drum folks.
Gorgeous and I haven't even seen pix yet.....but I know it is:icon_cool::drumset-3:

Man! to get any type of a drum kit for $20 seems like a very good deal. I would say - if you can do it - try to clean em / repair em.....and see what diamond in the rough you have. I've taken some...

Hmmm.....the badge.....a round badge with a Drop G.....nice!
I will have to take a close look at the mounting system too. When I ordered my Custom USA shellpack I ordered the bass drum without a...

Sticks.....that is a pretty nice looking drum kit.

I have 5 Gretsch kits - one is a 2011 Shellpack I ordered from the factory, two are 50's kits (one early to mid...the other late 50's), one 40's kit and a Purewood African Mahogany Renown 6pc. I have...

Yes - and you'd have to throw the New Classic in there between Brooklyn and Renown Series'

I know what you mean Bish. Your drum finish here is spectacular but I know what you're saying about not 'popping' on stage. Most kits have to have Sparkle/Glitter or something like that to get the...

I use a little Contact Cement sometimes but I've had success with double sided tape....the thin scotch-tape-like stuff. If you go one the Gretsch Woodshed Forum you will be able to get an answer...

I have a Renown Purewood kit and it is incredible. I can't compare it to the Ludwig Classic because I don't own nor have I played them. However, I do have a 2011 Gretsch Custom USA kit and two very...

Always nice to see your collection Michael. Beautiful photos of your little son Timothy too - both of you are going to enjoy those photos as the years go by.
Cheers,

Yes - I've always liked the 14 foot floor tom - it growls...........Chest thumpin depth too....wow ! Awesome...........

If you buy them hear and there over time you may see a difference (fade/slight difference at the factory etc) in the finish even though they are the 'same' finish. I'm only guessing here but it does...

Beautiful! I love that finish.
Does the paper tag have hand written Green/black/blue Model No.?
If yes then...........
If the S/N is between 30300-41300 it i s probably 1974 and 75 if higher...

The floor tom listed for $1500 would be about $900 - $1050 street price -meaning a retailer may be able to sell the drum for 60-70% of the MSRP. Yes it still is a lot of money for one drum but they...

Last year I ordered a 3pc Custom USA shellpack from my local drum shop -= 18bd/12/rack and 14 floor. I ordered a few extras = Vintage buildout with the Diamond Leg plates. bd claws and t-rods from...

I started playing drums in the early 60's and I bought this throne when I bought my first kit - MIJ drums = $300 ($1700 in today's dollars). It's the only thing that's left of that kit and I don't...

Good Observation Bob.
That is my 'Vintage' Ludwig throne I bought in the 70's - it's not as cumfy as my Gibralter that's for sure. I have an even more uncomfortable throne - a Walberg&Auge that I...
