I don't normally go for purple, but those Slingerlands are luscious. Nice touch on the matching ports.

al9000! Growing up, I would NEVER have purchased a purple kit! Guess I've matured over the years! Yes, I thought the purple ports were cool!

Anything American and vintage. Sorry rest of world. :D
I'm not even American so can't accuse me of being biased. American made drums of old are best aesthetically and structurally (for the most part) I will still respectfully tip my cap to the Brits and the Germans especially for some of the all-metal drums, but hardware was not so pretty. Just my opinion. ;)
