once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

what color/wrap do you need?mike

Hi Mike,

Sorry for the tardy response - been out of touch. I'm really in the tire kickin stage, and I want what everyone's looking for - either black oyster or wmp. Hoping to find a steal someday. most likely not ready to pay what they're worth at this point to anyone in the know. Thanks.

An Oyster Black Pioneer is about a $600-$800 drum (sometimes more) since it's the same thing as an Oyster Black Jazz festival, sans two lugs. If you can't afford to shell out $2000-$4000+ for an Oyster Black Jazz Fest the Pioneer is the next best thing so that drives the price up.

A WMP Pioneer is probably more like a $200-$400 drum....maybe less if you get lucky (I suppose that could apply to the OBP as well...but you'd need to get REAL lucky).

Yep, I'd say that's a fair summary of current market conditions. I picked up a 2013 classic maple in the bop for a bit under 300. which was a good price, and it looks spot on with my '67 bop downbeat kit. I just haven't warmed up to the sound I'm getting from it. Then again, my chops need some substantial warming up, and I really haven't spent enough time with it yet. Thanks for the feedback and Happy Thanksgiving! Hey, I wonder what kind of sound I could get using a couple of dried-out, big old turkey legs on the skins?
