New Drum Set Day

That looks like a nice score/set there John. Hope I can run across a good deal when I’m ready. The good news is I’m in no hurry.


They are out there Don. Just keep your eyes open, and take your time. You still have plenty of work to do on the house, so it looks like you have plenty of time.

Good news got the drum set last night. Bad news the drum heads I use are on back order until 5/15/2020
I'm impressed on the quality on the floor tom legs twice as heavy duty as my Ludwig USA floor toms
The drum set is finished in lacquer and the snare drum is oil finished I'm not a fan of DW snare drums Noble & Cooley solid shell eats their lunch.
 
yay u got it. poop on heads
This may sound strange but the drum heads on the new DW set smell like death not the drum shells though.
Just ordered all new heads from Sweetwater they had them in stock. I put new heads on the snare drum sounds usable now.
The 20" maple drum hoop was damaged in shipping found the exact replacement in NYC. Next will be drum cases.
 
Awesome DW kit, congrats!
I used to drum in a couple of bands many moons ago. Sometimes I still sub for other bands when their drummer can't make it. Also in our band before the drummer shows up for practice.
It's just too much fun!
 
HECK YEAH STEVE. Congrats on your new ones, and Kudos on the sweet ones you already have. Is the DW 20 inch kick 16 inches deep do you know? MY Rogers 20's are all 14 inch depths. Pretty sure my Orphan 22 inch Rogers kick is 16 inches but don't quote me on that.

Here is a video of a similar setup to my Blue Glass Glitter Rogers kit.
I used to have a Rogers set, and stupidly sold it

dmatt,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I did the same thing with my 79 LP STD. It was my first and favorite guitar I have ever had. I stupidly sold it and it's case for literally what a vintage case itself would sell for in today's dollars or about $100 more than I paid a few years ago for the same year T Top pickups like were in it.

Yikes! I prefer not to dwell on my dumbassery... or buffoonery :ROFLMAO:
 
HAHA. dmatt. Here is what replaced my old '79. If memory serves me right, This EPI is a 2010 and I wound up putting the 1979 T Top pickups I bought off ebay in it just before I had a bone nut installed by a luthier here in Baltimore Maryland. I refoamed and re-velvet felted the Anvil case just after this pic was taken. As you can see, the felt in the pic is all loose while I was test fitting things.

HEY Bro 67,. As soon as you are up to it. Let's see some nice shots of the new DW's and if you feel up to it, got any beauty shots of your Noble and Cooleys and cymbals?

I am a sucker for nice snares and cymbals.

Steve, That sucks on the damaged hoop. I once sold a Pearl Masters kit to a guy in Minnesota. Supposedly UPS damaged the front Bass drum hoop and then of course tried to deny my claim to make good on the replacement, ON their NICKEL.

I told them BS. The kit was shipped in Pearl Drum boxes and should have been sufficient to ship used drums the same as they do the new kits.
At over $160 for a new hoop and a 4-6 month wait to have one made, I was slightly on edge. Thankfully I had a spare kit in this color, and I could send him my front hoop off my keeper kit. Also good was I had a spare purple Kickdrum hoop from a former kit. I wound up sending him my hoop off my extra green kit and then put my spare Purple hoop on my green kick just so I could play the drum till my replacement hoop came in once I got the insurance check from UPS

chilli, I was able to order a 20" hoop and the 14 x 16 tom was damaged the seller took off $1000.00 off the price.
So in time I will sell the DW snare drum and the Fender Super Champ and end up with a free drum set.
 
MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN THE 16 got damaged too. WOW, did the guy NOT know how to pack? DID the guy not KNOW it was going to ALASKA? Did he not know that shippers handle packages like gorillas? MAN, $1000 off, WOW, and COOOOOOOOL A Free KIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the sound of that.
