Dead thread revival here....

Does anybody have pics of the original "custom clear drum co." drums with interchangable colored panels that go inside the clear acrylic shells?

I talked to Jim Corders son via email about this kit that I almost bought.. He told me that Corder had a patent on the interchangable panels, so that a drummer could easily change the finish of their kit http://www.drumforum.org/index.php?/topic/84719-value-of-vintage-custom-lucite-corders-drum-set/?hl=%2Blucite+%2Bcorder But it seemed to be too much of a basket case.. missing lugs on the resonant sides, and some toms are rogers lugs, some are slingerland..

but at any rate the story is interesting to me.. and I love any history on Corder/Fibes/Darwin drums

Looking for a 14x14 Corder shell in case anybody has one...By the way: Great drums! Im building a bop set with Corders shells and hardware.

Just for common info: I had work done by Corder on a couple of drums (recover, bearing edge, etc.) back in the 80's and early 90's. Flawless work.

I bought hoops and claws from a guy for my fibes bass. Hey were on a corder drum. Corder used the same dies but didn't seem to make them as nicely. These things look like cheap metal with bad/thin chrome plating.

Maybe corder didn't have access to a good chromer

The kit i bought the hoops from is now mine, and it has no hoops since I sold the kit they went on (doh!).. Does anyone have a decent set of 22" hoops on the cheap? Also, I am looking for a jasper shell floortom to match this kit. I got it with three racks and no floor

About those Corder clear acrylic drums- it's nice history but over-priced for what is there. He should be asking 4 bills.

Yes he should have at least cleaned them up nice and taken better photos if he wants to ask that much

Heres a Pic of my Mutt Corder kit, Mariosdrums sent me the red Corder snare, and I got the white shells from a guy over at DFO. The floor tom is an acrylic Fibes for the moment, which looks funny but sounds good.

In case anyone is wondering, yes my bassist has a stick bass, mounted to a pearl tom mount on a Tama Titan stand, with a Faux soundboard attached for the real double bass "look"

Problem is, my kit was already rewrapped once, so the badges are long gone. I do have a wood snare with that badge and will need to peel it off somehow

Osakabop, do you know if your wrap is a glitter or a sparkle? I'm pricing both types and will be happy with the cheaper (sparkle) if it ends up looking like your kit
