It would be a good purchase if it didn't have the torn plastic sheet. When torn, the Biman drums don't make sounds.

Here ya go Brian. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a picture of an original vintage Biman set, only one of the newer imports.

These are not rare. I've seen many Biman snares. The only thing I don't understand is why Biman owners mount their snares and reso heads on the top of the drum, and the batter on the bottom. Curious.

Well, nothing to it, that's how they come, straight out of the box...

Hey!

I noticed this Biman drum comes with a Ludwig case.

While it's nice to have a case for any drum, I just hate when someone splits-up the set and you end up with mismatched brands.

Well! I am simply appalled! One person mentioning 'Biman' drums are useless with a split head. Others mentioning a Ludwig case...

There are two lanes to most highways, ups and downs, rights and lefts. So please don't condemn 'Biman' drums or try to fit them into a finite place. One can't push a square peg into a round hole...

Diversity is the key here, and as we all should know...

'Biman' drums go BOTH ways... Eye Ball
