In the 50's and 60's Rogers had kits with no floor tom, some built around the less expensive drums and with painted finishes, but also built around the Holiday drums with a wrapped finish. A basic student kit was a 20/12 and 6-lug snare.

There is a talent agent in Toronto, who is now in her 70's , who drives around in a pink Checker. She is quite obvious. ---had the whole car redone about 8 years ago----spent a bundle on it. I drove it once-----what a tank.

Is a tenor drum another name for the tom tom? And what came first- kits with 1 rack tom or just the floor tom?

I own a Ludwig 'Combo" kit. 12,20 14x5 jazz fest snare. When I first bought it from a guy on Craigs list I thought the floor tom was missing but after posting some pics I was told it was probably a Combo. Thats how it was sold. Another three peice was called the Traveler. It was my first real vintage drum kit and I still love it. I am on the look out for a floor tom.

Oddly enough in the 80's here in California it was cheaper to buy a second bass drum and pedal than it was to buy dw's fangled new double pedal. Double bass was all the rage, and trying to fit a 6 piece and a bass rig in a '74 LTD was still a challenge.

Can't imagine hauling a drumset on a bus, in California they probably wouldn't stop for you.

lately thats seems to be all im playing it works fine especially with brush work
