I swear, I may have to move to Lubbock.

A few years ago a drummer friend of mine died. he had a Luddy Silver sparkle double bass drum kit consisting of 2-20" kick drums, 8,10,12,13,14,15 rack toms, 16" floor tom and a 5x14 Supraphonic snare, with Anvil Fiber cases, along with 3 ghost pedals, spur lock hi hat stand, 15" zildjian hats, and other zindjian and paiste cymbals. and all the hardware. He left his drums to our keyboard player. They had played together for years. I tried to buy them from him back then, but he really didnt wanna sell em. Today he brought them to me and wanted them out of his garage, sooooo I bought em. the front BD hoops are missing, but the t rods and claws are there. the bottom heads and lugs are off the shells but they were in paper sacks, except 6 small classic lugs are missing. I was asking $1,000, and I ended up giving him $800.

Maybe it would be considered a "Holiday" copy. The lugs look like B+B knock offs, the hoops are TALL...even though they are Stick Saver copies, and the strainer is an obvious knock off of the Rogers Clock Face or maybe at a stretch the Slingerland Zoomatic.

I take back my "dyna copy" statement and will call it a "Red Sparkle MIJ Holiday Artist Model"!!

Great deal, probably not........

But, I recently picked up a 6.5x14 Rogers Dynasonic XP10 maple snare drum with consecutive serial number to the one I already own.

Keep them coming...I love this. Don't forget photos!

My latest was a craigslist find, 20, 12, 14 Slingerlands in wmp. Check the pics in the gallery. $150.00 but a ton of work!

Great looking set! In a week I will have a Sky Blue pearl Pre-serial Ludwig set...hopefully!!!

Lucky,

I would love to see some more pics of that Slingerland if you got em!

Thanks,I will try and take more pics this week. Traded an old mij kit for the snare from a forum member, almost a perfect match.
