Jeeze Mike T...
... and I thought I was the cat's pajamas with my 14X24 WMP bass drum with the Buddy Rich Celebrity's... but a 14X26???!!! Wow... just wow. Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20, but too bad you didn't take a quick loan for those! Impressive!

Yeah... now THAT is a BIG BOTTOM END... and then some! I do indeed play/gig BR configurations/models, and almost always with the 14x24 Rogers.. ( since I finally FOUND one that is! Before that it was a 14X22 ) .. and it never ceases to amaze me what with the comments I get from the sound production companies miking up the drums: Hey!, is that a 24" bass drum? Yeah, it is I say. Wow. Not many guys carry around 24's! But then afterwards, the comments are all WOW!... that drum is killin'... etc. So,
I can only imagine a 14x26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and in WMP no less. NICE Mike!!! Buddy would be proud!!!! What "model" Ludwigs are those? Recent production? BEAUTIES!!!!!!

This kit is a 1988 Buddy Rich reissue complete with canister throne why the 14x26 I have no Idea.. might have been special order but i am loving these 6 ply tubs.. now I wish I had the green Rogers then I could get my wife to get a 2nd job so I could get the Green Dyna... Yeah right .. :)
P.S. you are the cats Pj's with not one but two wood Dyna's in WMP.... yeah baby
Mike!...
1988 BR reissue... wow. Just a year after he passed too. Very nice lookin', and I have no doubt, sounding, drums. Where did you find those Mike? Can't say that I have ever seen one of those sets before. Plenty of the Conway, AK Slingerland BR reissue/commemerative, but not the Ludwigs. NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I suspect that the 14x26 was indeed a special order. The 14X24 would be the "norm" for a BR set, but as we all well know, his final set of vintage Slingerland RK's featured a 26"... and Buddy loved it too. Beauties Mike!!!!
Yeah, I am indeed fortunate to have TWO 60's era Rogers Cleveland WMP Dynasonics. The '68 is still WHITE!!! and near mint condition... thus I only play it here and there, and NEVER outside. You know, when the time comes to pony up on our two daughter's college loans... I may have to sell 'em. Oh the humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's a pic of the '68.

Tommy: Would you like to trade for a Trixon snare.........?
LOL S/M f
Boy, the value on the wood Dynasonics sure has been volatile. I have a blue sparkle Dynasonic in perfect condition with no fading and I put it up on Ebay at $2000 and had Ebayers giving me all sorts of grief for asking that. I thought $2000 was a very fair price considering that it was in early 2011 and would have brought way more than that two years ago. I took it off the market. I might put it back up on the market again. What do you guys think on the value today?
imo iffy at best I would hold on to it if you can...

I think at this point in time, buyers that are parting with their money are doing so for rare pieces. In this case, it is the rare green sparkle that commands the dollars.
