That is awesome! I'd love to hear one of those kits. Has anyone here played one?

This is a cool video of them. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5--JaMKFQk"]Stone Custom Drum Company @ 2013 Chicago Drum Show - YouTube[/ame]

Thank you so much for the link Mark!

Joe your welcome. I got to talk to them several years ago at the Chicago drum show. I am calling them today to get a price quote on a snare drum.

Mark, I have met this guy at the Chicago show or at least I think I did. The guy on the business card that I brought home does not look like the guy in the picture on the web site.

But I did talk to a very nice man at the show and he told me he had the tooling from the Original Slingerland factory. He had several shells on display and man they were beautiful.

Last year I played some of these guys drums,

I think you're looking at $250 or so for a snare and upwards. Not outrageous. I looked into them about a year ago but you can have only so many drums...

If you want to hear them....try http://billraydrums.com

Mark thanks for posting this. I remember hearing about this guy a few years ago but lost track of who it was. Pretty cool he purchased and restored the original Slingerland machines. Some very nice drums!! And the fact he'll use all combo's of wood gives such a broad choice also! Excellent!

Ya, that is the guy I met. Very nice guy. I did not watch your video before my first reply.
