Sonor vintage snarewires
I'm afraid in that condition there might not be anyone interested in them. If they were in good condition probably 20-30 USD or a little more. These w...

A local drummer who is into premier just told me the other day they sometimes had mahogany bass and snare with birch toms, usually the floor though....

9 years agoDrop clutch
The Sonor one needs to be used with a hex shape rod. I love that clutch but the only draw back is you have to remove the top hat and then adjust the n...
9 years agoDynasonic Snare Wire FRAME
I made an adjusting screw with nut that works perfect on these frames all from parts from Ace hardware. Email me for a plan, I might even have pics. [...

9 years agoA Zildjian 20" Ride ID
You took all the fun out of it by using a pretty common weight... I'll guess at 2040g. The shape of the cymbal looks real nice though! Gary

That is the swinger series (as noted by the front head). Those Ludwig copy lug housings are plastic and known to break. Other than that they are the s...
9 years agosonor drums - which one?
Agree with Oddball, it's a re-wrapped International. Lugs are similar to the German made stuff but its all MIT. Gary

Thanks so much! That's a lot bigger than the standard 60's decal. I'm going to use this size on my 26". You put it in inches too! Haha Gary
