I have been trying to get pics lo res enough to post.

There I think I did it.

Here is the kit that I restored with a lot of help from djinx.

That is one beautiful and really impressive set of drums. One of a kind for sure. Man, there's at least two whole kits in there! Honest, I've been playing for 50 years and I wouldn't know what to do with all those drums around me. I'm a one-up, two down player, any more drums than that and I just get lost or confused. That's an amazing kit and you have my respect as a drummer just for being able to play something that elaborate. Cool1

Next time you talk to Jinx see if you can get him to come on here and share photos of some of those amazing kits he's built. Thanks for posting the shots of your rig.

Very, very cool.....

Hey, I'm curious about the snare??

That shell looks familiar ??

Is it one of these??

Yep, it came from diceknobs on ebay.

Slingerland shell.

Here is a pic of the 8 by 14 snare that was ordered with the original Blae kit.

No, no, Kev, it looks more like one of these! lol

Hey John

Thank you for the kind comments on my kits. I don't come here to much, but it is good to see you over here. You are missed by most of us on the forum.

Here is another of my Blaemire kit projects as well as some cool snares.

Hey Jinx!

Hey man, thanks for the kind words and for posting these shots. Drop by more often. We need a Blaemire thread or three just to round out the offering here.

Good to hear from you, Jerry. Tell the kiddies at the other forum I miss them too.

Warmest regards,

John

HEY JERRY! Still got that 6.5x14 COF Blae with Die cast hoops waiting for ya! you know that I need a wrap job...rings any bell?

Man, I keep looking at Jerry's photos. A Blaemire super sensitive - Wow! Then the Leedy is my next fav followed closely by the jazz snare. All four, gorgeous examples of the 'Art' of drum-making. Great, creative stuff. Big-time kudos to Jinxy.
