1930's L&S Bass drum....is this rare?

Loading...

I have a L&S 26" bass drum, it has the circular badge from the mid 30'. It has 8 original tension rods that reach from rim to rim, it has no legs or mounts for legs. It is a brown shell with blond rims. At one time I thought it was a generic concert drum that you saw everywhere, but since have learned some history, and am wondering if it is less common than I thought. I love it, but I'm really an upright bass player who drums on the side and I have a great little kick drum in my set, when I pass this on I want to know more about it.

L&S drums are extremely rare as they were only made for a few years.

The only issues it ever had, the rim was repaired by a professional and two of the posts that the tension rods run through were missing a spacer between them and the shell, are replaced by small washers....
