Amati Drums out of metal?

Posts: 37 Threads: 12

I just bought a set for small money not knowing what I can expect.

The pic´s where not that good, but I could see Amait lugs.

So by picking the stuff I was really suprised about what I get.

On the first view it was an Amati set. Original lugs, mounts and legs.

A nice snare included, but no badges.

Than the suprise: The Shells where wrapped with leather... and the toms are ou of metal.

So very, very heavy. Is that the work of creative craftsman or does Amati really does sets like this.?

Well I never see Amati wrap in letter,so I think it is done by someone during the years

Bass drum bracket and pipe are not original,also maybe Gilnar can tell more,but I think that Amati never made metal shells.About tom.Lugs are from one Amati period,round part of tom bracket from latter ones and that plate under round tom bracket is not from Amati.Top hoop also look like bottom from 14" snare,if your tom is 14"

Bass drum bracket and pipe are not original

Not Amati except lugs. BD looks as handmade to me. Tom shell is impossible to identify on photo.
