Those are sweet! Thanks for posting the pix.

Thanks again.. Couple of notes. I have a clear 6" acrylic and a 5" Rosewood Segment shell I need to get pics of. All of the segment snares and the Keller ply shells were made by yours truly. They all have a badge with the name of 'Goetz' on them. I was working with/for another when I started building, that is his badge. I obviously have more pics of stuff I've built, but these are all mine..

Glad you guys are enjoying them. Why don't you all come over for a cleaning party.. I'll supply the beer and cleaning supplies and security for leaving. I'm afraid Purdie couldn't be trusted with the hammered bronze. Laughing H

Wouldn't be the first time I've had to frisk someone on the way out. I occasionally rent my snares to a local studio. Some years back, the studio had rented the snares for Atma Anur. Atma has played on tons of records and for a short while in the 80's, was in Journey before they hired Mike Baird. Anyway, Atma loved the multi colored piccolo and tried to get me to sell it to him. I obviously didn't, but when I gave him a ride to the airport, I joked about "patting him down" before he got on the plane.

There are a couple of stories on the that shell and the other 13" Keller, but I'll save them for another post...

Thanks again...

Nice collection.

I could go for some of that dirt.

Firstly, can I just say NICE! Secondly, after i'd calmed down and had a cold shower, I took another look, and couldn't help but notice the case you've got them in. Did you make it yourself ? I'm thinking of having a go at making one myself. Maybe for all my kit, not just snares. Again, NICE!

Thanks...

I have built cases for my drums, but not that one. If you are giving it a go, here's a place to start: http://www.diyroadcasesstore.com/ I haven't checked their prices, but once you know what you are looking for, its easy google...

Good luck and show pics!!

Wow! Beautiful collection. Congrats!

"wow"Thats one wicked collection there,i was drulling over the amount of high quality gear you have there,wild, insane,ive only just started collecting snares myself and only have one at the moment a premier royal ace 4/14 inch,ive been told its a 63 mod and shes clean as,not a bad start i suppose,cheers for the pics ill be showing all my mates.

>I'm afraid Purdie couldn't be trusted with the hammered bronze.

I was going to wear a kilt so I could smuggle it out between my legs hidden under my skirt. I figured I'd be safe because, after all, who would want to put their hands up another guys kilt! Now I see that you're just paranoid enough about losing that drum, to try to find out if guys actually wear skivvies under those things!!!

Not to worry, the last thing I 'stole' was a candy bar and I was 7 years old. Oh, and that 63' SBP Hollywood kit that came with a COB that I got for $600. a couple of months ago! LoLoLoLo

John :p

Wow!

Great bad boys collection Yes Sir

We all learn our lessons... As I mentioned, you wouldn't be the first I frisked on the way out... LoLoLoLo

Besides, I'd just give you a Marylyn Monroe moment and the world would see..
