Remind me not to apply to be your drum tech........

Massive !!

Holy crap.

That is insane.

New thread and more pics......please....

WOW!!!!! Cant hardly see the drums for the cymbals. How many drums? How many cymbals?

Post #34 on page 4 tells this. I've gotta head off to work soon, but I'll make a new thread on this massive kit tonight. Stay tuned!

Kevins, I don't plan on ever gigging with this kit, so don't worry about being my drum tech. Cool Dude

This kit started out as a used 1971 Ludwig Black Panther 6-piece set which I bought in 1987 when I was in high school and over the years grew to the monster you see now. Having started playing drums right in the middle of the 80s rock "hair band" era, that music was very popular at the time and I fell in love with the big drum sets I'd see on MTV videos, so that's how this thing started coming about in my teenage years.

Then, over time I added more and more percussion and different kinds of drums and turned it into a kind of "do it all" home based acoustic kit. I'm so used to banging around with all those drums for so many years that it's actually harder for me to play something like a 5-piece kit now because I'm comfortable with the many tom voices that the 5-pieces don't have.

i have rogers studio8 set. i've had it since new in 1971 or 72. use it for about 6 yrs has a house band. than i retired, kind of. i love the four smaller toms on one stand. a lot of guys say that thay will work loose,but i never had any trouble with them.sizes are 8,10,12,13,14,15. 20in. base. had them out two weeks ago. put new heads on them sounds like 1970s all over. not my fav kit but close.

All I'll say is that I want so badly to put together a Ludwig blue sparkle drum kit exactly like Elvis's drummer, Ronnie Tutt, used from the Fall of '70 until the Fall of '74 (August 21, 1974 to be exact).

I'm going to attempt to put together that kind of kit in the coming year. Hopefully, I can make it happen. The kit that is pictured is a replica Tutt blue sparkle Ludwig kit that a friend in TX put together. I'm hoping and praying that I can accomplish the same thing.

Yeah, Hal was the first. I think.

And yeah, those Blaemires are an odd green.

I got a couple or two in green.

Saw your user name.

Do you have some of these in pic?

hijack alert.

I know what you mean... there's something about them...

I have a early 1974 5pc 22/12/13/16 Alice Cooper White L.A. Camco concert tom kit with metal 6.5x14 snare drum.

A few years ago, my old goal was to convert the kit to two-headed toms but then I thought about it... gee, I never see any concert tom Camco kits so I better not mess with this kit.

Unfortunately the Alice Cooper White finish was sprayed painted red so one day when I'm up for the huge challenge, I will try removing the red... luckily the interiors are not mess-up.

Anyone else here have one of these? I would love to see it for inspiration.

Found an old pic of the Tamas....
