hi everyone,

I have 2 drums i am looking to sell, these were the last 2 of the incredible Barrett Deems Collection score I made 2 months ago.

My wife and I just purchased our first home (purchased - no rent, no mortgage!) and are looking to move these pieces to purchase a new refrigerator, stove and dishwasher for our kitchen. let me know if you are interested!

thanks

1. Ludwig Engraved Black Beauty Signature Barrett Deems snare drum, Engraved by John Aldridge with Barrett's name inscribed on the side and john's signature inside. I tried to research this drum a bunch and was not able to obtain concrete info on it. I am assuming this drum was probably commissioned from Ludwig as a thank you piece to Barrett as it looks like its been more of a display piece and most likely never played.

2. Slingerland 1ply Aluminum Cloud Badge snare drum in BDP. now, i've tried my hardest not to sell this guy. I've had tons of interest. i am in love with this drum. like unhealthily, disgustingly in love with it. i was hoping to be buried with it, but alas, the home thing for the family and my pregnant wife is more important then some drum... but this is the one, man. geez. i've tracked with it and its amazing and a pure beauty all around.

both drums are in original condition and in excellent shape.

for the Ludwig BB, i will go stupid cheap - $1250 + shipping !!!!!!

for the slingy, i have to get $950 + shipping

combined this should be enough to purchase the pieces we need. not looking to be greedy or make extra on top. rest assured that if you purchase either drum, your $ is going towards my family's first home and we are very grateful! thanks in advance to anyone interested
