Donn Bennett's Drum Collection Last viewed: 14 minutes ago

Loading...

Hey All,

I've been away from the VDF for a while but just a quick one to say I'm back. I sold my drum shop, Donn Bennett Drum Studio in Bellevue WA last October. It was a 100% positive move for me and the new owner. I will continue to deal in rare, collectible and vintage drums through my old shop but I will no longer own or operate it. The new owner, Rudy Simone is a great guy. He started at the shop as a student and worked his way up to the owner. That's an american dream come true.

I have a huge inventory of very special rare and vintage drums that I squirreled away over the last 20 years that I'm finally ready to sell. Many of these are drums owned and used by some of the most important drummers of our time. I will be posting these drums here in the "For Sale" area on a regular basis. There's some really cool stuff. Even if you're not in the market for any of these drums I hope you'll find them interesting just to check out.

I'm really looking forward to connecting with hearing from as many of you as possible. I've learned a few things about vintage drums over the years. If you ever have a question I can help feel free to try me.

Thanx!

Donn Bennett

How did you get your hands on those Phil Ehart kits? Lookinf forward to seeing the drums for sale. I would love to have a mid to late 60's Ludwig snare drum in Oyster blue!


Thank you!
