wow I didn't expect this amount of interest. I only made it because I was frustrated with the ones you can buy now. Thanks for all the great comments. I'm not sure about patents for these, they have to have run out guy now but you never know

thanks J . I will have to call you

found this in an old catalog

if u build it they will buy very cool

Was that thing that you made something you copied from an old Ludwig design? If it isn't you should patent it. You could cut a hole and a lip and make it a bottle opener. There goes any legal wrangling if it is a copy of an old design. Plus, it will be there for when you drink the good beer at a gig.:Santa:

Where did you get the little cymbal "thingies"? Need info please. Thanks, Tommy

got the cymbal jingles from my local drum store, 50 cents each

like the idea on the bottle opener after all beer is a drummers best friend
