Beautiful! 12x20? Really? I didn't think they were even making 14x20 Club Dates during the transition period. Another missing link? :)

Another vote for the Spurlock. I've used one for many years. Lately though I've been gigging with a flat base DW, I think 6000 series.

14 years agoTenor drum as floor tom?
The floor tom I'm using here is a 16x12 pre-serial # tenor modified with Ludwig mounts and ft legs. Complements the rack tom nicely, at a much lower c...
