I've come to reallize that as much as I love this drum... and it is an absolute beauty... I'm just not much of a collector. I build my own custom exotic drums (I'm the only one in the world that builds them from Magnesium Alloy for instance) and while I appreciate the craftsmanship of this one as well as others that have passed through my collection, it might be time to let it go.
I have posted other photos.. but here are just a few. Any serious buyers can request any photos and I'd be happy to provide high resolution shots.

Every nut and bolt is original... the top head is original and I have a calfskin for the bottom. Currently I have modern snare wires on the drum but I have the original silk (I think) wires for it safely stored away and they can be put back on the drum or just shipped with it.
This is probably the nicest Black Elite I've ever seen... I haven't had it appraised yet but I'd be willing to entertain serious offers.
