They're reasonably decent beginner to intermediate level Asian imports. Most of the "lower line" drums marketed today are of a far better quality than was offered years ago because of modernized computer assisted production, and are usually produced by the same factories which make the more expensive name brand drums.

This is a pick-up only auction, but after all is said and done, this complete Gammon kit can be had for about $50.00

Don't pay more than $20. for a complete snare drum. For $75 to $125. you can buy a vintage Ludwig Acrolite and have a -serious- snare drum to play for just a few dollars more.

Not sure if you check out the Pittsburgh CL too, like I always do, but I also see a ton of these on there. I honestly thought they were called Cannon though.....lol. At any rate, firewood is much cheaper to buy when bought by the cord, and not by the drum! LOL

Super, guys! Thanks for the insight. I appreciate the replies...I have a nice 14 inch chrome snare thrown in with some gear I recently purchased. Didn't recognize the Gammon name, but thought the snare was pretty decent.

And now I know! I love this forum! Bowing
