BosLover,...Is that Bruce ??
I`m in the trades and been working with wood all my life. 15 years ago I went into the woods and found tree branches from various trees, in various areas, I also took trash doors made of Brazillian woods, and New England is full of homes from the early 1900s`all of the 1800s` and some from the 1700s`, These homes contain lumber from trees you can`t harvest anymore such as redwood, birdseye maple, and these trees where 3,4 and even 500 feet tall and ten feet maybe twenty feet thick, dumster dived a few times until I had my like`n. Trued them up on the table saw, into one by one stock three feet long, cut them at 1`6" and used my favorate sticks as templets on the other side of the lathe when I turned My own sticks !! Don`t use Apple, Cherry, or other fruit trees, too many knots. The best are old, or driftwood and wood you find at the high tide line on the beech !! I still have a few of them left !! I could buy sticks too !! The old woods were always kiln dried cuz fuel was cheap back then !! Now, it`s an option.
Sticks from stone have crossed my mind !!
The Phonic plus is a nice looking kit, well built and durrable. That`s as close as you can get to a Jet Set !! (my dream drums)
Hey oddball, ever been over at the sonor museum message board? You'll come across one pretty quick but they run about 300.00 maybe a little less, maybe a little more. I have a d555(5x14) that has plenty of volume. Maybe consider one in a shallower size to keep the price down. I would like a d508.
BTW i'm playing a 10 pcs. rosewood phonic kit(one of my sonor sets) so you're not alone here with the vintage sonor!!!
Back to cymbals, i'm not sure maybe 50 or so. Just put up a cymbal wall with music store hangers, not finished yet but when i'm done i'll post some pics.

I wish I had a wall to put my cymbals on. I have most of my drum kits and guitars in one room. I started remodeling the room for my instruments and ended up rapainting and reflooring my whole house!!!
gSonr,
That`s a cool site,...I checked it out. Love the museum tour !!
Poppy, That`s a fine collection ya got there, How long it take to get that far along ??
Hehehe Poppy, i know what you mean. I had to remodel the house before i got my own drum room though. Wifes orders...
BTW very nice collection. For the wall i used slatboard from Lowes and some hangers i found from www.stringswing.com kind of pricey but its worth the investment.
Gary.
