Hey guys!
two questions about jazzettes:
1. Did the maple thermogloss kits always have maple interiors as well? Did the mahogany thermogloss kits always have mahogany interiors as well? or did the mahogany thermogloss kits generally have maple interiors? Was there a general trend towards having matching exteriors and interiors?
2. What was the Jazzette's snare? I see in the catalogues that it was the supra, but did they ever come with a jazzfest? or a downbeat? or a piccolo?
cheers!
I have a thermogloss mahogany Jazzette and it has maple interiors. A 1972 set. My understanding is a 400 Supra was standard issue.
just for pure delight - can you please post a pic of it? i haven't seen one before! other than in the adds!

#1.) When it first came out, the Jazzette had painted white interiors that could have been mahogany, but as of the last half of 1968. thy went to a clear maple interior -regardless of the outer veneer. Ludwig wasn't particular about matching interiors because most all the drumheads were opaque white and the interiors didn't show. I suppose it's possible that a few mahogany interior veneer shells were around -never actually seen any, though.
2.) Jazzette's snare was always listed as an LM400 Supra...and it's VERY rare that Jazzette kits are found with their matching Supras. Roy Haynes used to play a Jazzette and he preferred the Jazz Combo size snare, I believe. But the Jazzette was never listed with anything other than a regular Supra.
wow thanks for the info! nice one :D
hmmm i wonder why they're never found with their matching supras though?

Probably because idiots like myself do dumb things like trade the kit in on another kit, but keep the snare because its so wonderful sounding. Man I wish I had my Jazzettes again.....remember guys, if you see a set of Jazzettes in Black Panther finish come up.....get ahold of me ASAP!!! Excited
