Did the 12 deliver??

This one sure did! 12"x20" came with an original pre-serial number Ludwig Club Date kit that I repainted and refurbished. Punchy as all get out.

I've got a Camco 20" x 12" and it's amazing. Lots of attack. Makes me think the reasoning behind very deep bass drums is essentially wrong. My main bass drum these days. Also super easy to pack, carry, etc, etc

I agree totally. I had an opportunity to play a backline Slingerland kit some years ago that had either a 12 X 22 or a 12 X 20. That thing ROCKED! I assumed it would be a bit lackluster... was I ever wrong. My bass with the most punch is the Legend 13 X 22. It actually seems to have more punch than my Camco 14 X 24.

I 'think' what everybody likes about these is the fast response. The thing I don't like about beer-can bass drums is they feel sloppy/slushy to me. It's like I hit it and there is a perceptible delay or something. Whatever it is, I don't like it. These 12" depth drums are just fast and responsive and I think that's the thing that pleases a player.

There definitely is something to 'the depth thing' especially with bass drums.

This is a weird one. Slingerland cloud badge 12" x 22" 6 lugs each side. Haven't seen another like it yet. Birdseye maple interior too!

It's a 1910 Brass 4.5"x14" Oliver/Ditson Drum Co. snare. It has chrome over brass single flange hoops & clips, brass body, single-point mount tube lugs and it's very dry sounding for a brass shelled drum. I like it. Sorry, I can't find the photos I took of it. Must be on a back-up disc somewhere. Sweet drum though, came out great.

No hardware, bare shell.

At this point I was going to make a table with it.. I have no idea what to ask for it... maybe a trade for something else cool?

Very nice. Yes it looked kind of unique and I haven't seen one like it before. That's why I asked. ;) Good stuff there John thanks!
