Heyo,
I've been looking around for some sort of nice old mahogany 24x14" bass drum and I haven't been able to find anything that isn't practically destroyed.
I'm mostly interested in pre-70s Ludwig or Slingerland, but I'll consider other options. I also enjoy duco and pearl finishes the most, but again, I'll consider other things as well.
I'm not looking for anything real specific right now; just wanted to see what's out there.

I have a 24" bass drum made by Broman. It has center lugs though. Don't know if I have complete hardware, but can check if interested.
As far as the name Broman goes drum-wise, they were very brief American made drums. The shell looks like an early Gretsch 3-ply. The badge is eerily similar too. It's not mahogany, looks like birch or maple.
I live in Ca. and am willing to ship if you want it.
I have a 14x24 and 9x13 that goes with it radio king era slingerland shells. Bare shells no wrap early 50s. 80 for both.

I guess I should have specified in my original post - I'm looking for a complete drum of some sort.
Dirty is fine, but I'm looking for complete and in relatively good shape. I'm not really in the mood for a full restoration sort of project. I'm just itching for a new drum to play.
That Broman sounds interesting; I've never heard of that brand. It's not really what I'm looking for though, sorry!

Anyone? Drum bug?
I sure wish I could afford this 40s Ludwig on ebay right now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1946-Ludwig-Ludwig-14-x-24-WMP-Bass-Drum-with-Free-matching-Tom-Tom-/291615226625?hash=item43e59f3b01:g:z6sAAOSwkZhWRPJk

I have a 26x14 Slingerland.
That's tempting due to the lack of 24's I've seen in the past few months.
I've never tried a 26" bass before, and I've read that they feel a lot "slower" than a 24". Is that true? I'm concerned that a 26" bass would be a bit too big for me since I'm mostly used to using 22" basses.
