My wife had back surgery June 14,1999... And she had an uninsured
operation November 6,1998 called micro vascular decompression for
tri geminal neuralgia. She is doing much better, but we are still
paying for the head surgery.. Since good health is more important
than good drums.... I proudly offer some real goodies from my own
collection.... Don’t feel too bad for me, because at least I have
these to sell, and there are more I am holding back.. Which means
they might appear on this list as some of these leave.. So ask...
the important thing is that Martha is doing much better..........


Update from May 23, 2008


Martha update: As of March 13, 2008 Martha's TriGeminal Neuralgia
returned, and would not be controlled even with the meds she took
the first time around. The pain was unbearable, thus an operation
called Subcutaneous Glycerol Rhizotomy was performed May 8, 2008.
The good news is her recovery is going very nicely after a day of
sickness, from the anesthesia wearing off, and a week of soreness
from the medications wearing off, + her face adjusting to it all.
So my condolences to anyone else who knows what an affliction is.
And, my deepest thanks to all those who knew and kept us in their
thoughts during those eight weeks. Martha wants others to know of
TriGeminal Neuralgia. Why?? Because when someone gets their first
pain, typically they think it's a tooth needing to be pulled.....
A friend lost three before he found out. And, neither dentist had
ever seen it before, because it is such a rare thing.............
The important thing is that Martha is doing much better again....
Also, I am apt to offer a few more goodies due to all this.......

bass drum hoops with half an inlay missing on one, and two inches Click Here
missing on the other hoop, and both bass hoops needing new paint. Click Here
It also has wide reinforcement rings found on earlier B&B sets... Click Here

I’ve never seen another, and I don’t expect I will in this color. Click Here

this set can qualify in this size and color as rare with snare... Click Here

and nothing lost or missing. Serial numbers are close. Shells are Click Here

All (4) drums have stickers from Eddie Knight School for Drummers
including the 1966 14x14 flat grey beavertail Dayton with statite
leg brackets and curved legs, that came with the other three 1961
Cleveland bread and butter lug drums.. The amazing thing is, that
only two small lugs were broken on the small tom, when I got this
set. So I replaced them with two others that were also uncracked.
This set now has no cracked lugs, and that is next to impossible.
The back side of the 8x12 does have some typical snare rash . ....
The snare drum does have the original wires, but three are gone..
Extremely nice chrome on the metal. The plastic pearl retains the
original luster.. This only comes with drums that have never been

on the outside but look nice + sound even better. Like new heads, Click Here
A pretty group of drums that look better than the description.... Click Here

1965s Rogers Headliner silver sparkle 14x20, 8x12, 16x14: 3/$2500 Click Here
That floor tom is 16 inches in depth, and takes a 14 inch head... Click Here
When this set was new, an extra mount was added up on top, and an Click Here
extra 8x12 was added, and the badge was moved. Since I think it’s Click Here
more fun without the extra 8x12, I put a shell mount Knobby where Click Here
the swivo mount was. A uniform darkening to the silver sparkle on Click Here
all three drums matches nicely. All new heads, super clean, every Click Here
original part is present and accounted for. With a scarce 16x14!! Click Here

1966s Rogers "Delta” Tower blue sparkle 14x20, 8x12, and 14x14... Click Here
Tower model drums are made w/center lugs like Ludwig club dates.. Click Here
Delta sets usually came w/matching 5x14 6-lug Luxor snare drums.. Click Here
So does this one, and this set is all correct + unmodified except
that the floor tom has 2 very tiny extra holes near the top edge.
My guess is that someone added a tone control at some time.......
The 14x14 also has wrong tension rods, but the rims are right....
No other funny stuff. No fading. New or logo heads. It’s nice.... Click Here
Comes with an original 18” hex cymbal arm + tilter.... g+ 4/$2250 Click Here
Substitute a 5x14 Tower blue sparkle 8lug for the Luxor.. 4/$2500 Click Here

9/72s Rogers New England white: 14x18, 8x12, 9x13, 16x16: 4/$2450 Click Here
Here is a Londoner set with a very hard to find 14x18 bass drum.. Click Here
The odd thing about the bass drum is that it has had two Knobbies
removed. Both are about where they usually put a single tom arm.. Click Here
Or, one is where they put a tom arm in a Buddy Rich Celebrity....
The other is where they put a tom arm in a Buddy Rich Headliner..
So there are eight holes that now have carriage bolts in them....
I can give you 2 Knobbies to install if you want occupied holes..
Then the drum will appear to have no extra holes. 1 flaw remains.
There’s a small pearl repair splice, at the bottom seam on 14x18, Click Here
and that seam has a crack running along it’s side, hard to see... Click Here
There is a similar seam overlap flaw on the 16x16 floor tom. ....
The bass drum looks great with a new pair of reproduction hoops..
All three toms are quite nice and have all the right rims + rods.
All three toms have logo bottom heads, new top brush Ambassadors.
Bass has new white logo front head and Remo Powerstroke3 batter.. Click Here

This set came from the second owner, and he only collected it.... Click Here
It appears the original owner hardly played it at all, either.... Click Here
Serial numbers on all four drums are close, this is a real set... Click Here
Every part on this set is the original part that came with it.... Click Here
Even all 8 heads are the originals, and the bottoms are like new. Click Here
Not many scratches in the pearl, but there are a few, of course.. Click Here
Nice chrome, insides like new of course, low mileage for sure.... Click Here
..... and Click Here and Click Here and Click Here

There are a few spots on the set that have a strange discolor.... Click Here
!4x20 has 2Xhs where the rail was moved to center at some time... Click Here
And the bass drum is missing one inlay, otherwise, a good set.... Click Here
There is a bulgy seam or two touched up and other picky points... Click Here
So I think it’s not collector grade but better than player grade. Click Here

1984s TAMA Tower of Power rack system. NOS, never gigged. ..$ ask
Here is the story. This rack system was a store display, and once
the store folded, the rack was broken down, and stored in a fibre
case, that I still have it all stored in. I have never used it or
set it up. It’s not my type of thing. If it’s your type of thing,
it’s in a big fibre case so heavy I need to unpack it to move it.
With that warning, comes a whole lot of stuff which went around a
double bass drum set. It includes a remote hi hat, and a bunch of
other stuff, and it’s for a double set, with two bass drums! ....





From my cymbal collection,
which I may start to sell some of soon:

1984s Avedis Zildjian crotales left over unused NOS in case $1500 Click Here
..... one high octave of crotales, and the stand, and fibre case. Click Here
