Here this will help.! Also you can do your own clafskin heads, or buy them new or used one also, place a wanted ad here on the VDF. http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/liberty.html

You may find a 24" calf head a bit expensive. However, a bass drum can still have a skin sound w/ one calf batter & one 24" mylar on the front, (which will be ready available & affordable). I have an aluminum Liberty piccolo snare, & almost never encounter this brand. The sparse information that is available(in the reference link) has been the same for over the past 15 yrs., & not much more has ever been added. ( load some photos, I'd like to see the hardware compared to my snare)

You can also buy one for a lot less than most retailers by using our great friends at

They are not all "pearly white", but they are super cheap. Who cares if they are perfect when you can get them for 30% of retail?

You'll need to go to www.cooperman.com to get your flesh hoop. will need to call them in order to get the proper size, and we have a directory to explain how to attach the skin to the hoop. You will need to get the 26" medium weight and cut it down to size.

Thanks to all replies. Yes this drum is a mystery. but, it looks like the cheapest way is to order the skin and tuck it myself. As long as it's actual calfskin it should keep the authenticity. The ones that are custom made are quite expensive. Probably should get both sides, as the head that is still good, is old and very frail. Still don't know much about its value or how rare it is, though.

Is there any type of drum collectors guide that may cover this?

Or a Drum Collectors organization I could contact to research this further.

Thanks so much!

I've found that Liberty drums are so few, & so obscure that there is really no market to compare it with,....& there is also very little interest. I see a few snares now & again, that command a very low price. Complete sets, & even orphans are more scarce. They're just not around,.. & no one cares.
