Hi George!

East Europe is the last line of vintage drums to discover.

here RMIF (how do you call the head bolts, slot or square?) from USSR,

and East Germany with exagonal

are you from ex USSR?

Luca

Hi luca!

Yes, I am.

Moreover - from deep USSR... :)

Three bongos on your second pic are early version of RMIF (from Riga, latvian factory) with handmade hex bolts.

Original riga's bolts have had a head a bit higher than EPOIMI and quite good slot.

Cheers,

George.

ok, good new! then are you expert in East EU drums??? :)

Not an expert, just a modest amateur... :)

Three snares on your first pic are EPOIMI drums (from Engels town factory).

They have had very bad bolts with extremely low head and shallow slot.

These same bolts were used in soviet furniture industry especially for children beds.

Cheers,

George.
