THANKS Kurt!... and it was indeed! ( a great gig ) Have to say that the "Sinatra Show" booked well for the agency this year. We did 20 nights in a 6 week period this summer. Not too shabby given this economy. THANKS again... and glad you liked!!

From Tommyp

So... the particulars are:14X24 bass drum w/original front head9X1316X1616X165X14 WMP DynasonicThey play/sound fabulous too! Hopefully you will enjoy!Tommyp

Tommy,

Amazing set!! Made even more beautiful by the inclusion of all the correct swan-leg hardware!

My Rogers WMP is 22-12-16-14COB Dynasonic. My question to you is how tall are you? The reason I ask is I recently acquired a Rogers 24-13-20 Fullerton set , and I find that the 13" mounted on the 24" bass is just too high to play comfortabley, even adjusted as low as the swivo hardware will allow (I'm only 5'8"). The shot of you behind your BR set looks like you're towering over that 24/13 setup. Guess I'll have to stick with the 22".

Thanks for posting those beautiful, professional shots.

Trade you a set of custom built VaughnCraft single ply Maples, built to your specs for them. I know you're not going to go for this, but a brother has gotta try! LOL!

A couple replies are in order!

mchair303!...

THANKS, and glad you enjoyed! Oddly enough, I have always felt that the actual hardware was part of the whole vintage experience too!... and probably especially so with Rogers Swivo hardware. Perfectly and beautifully made/function, and have NEVER had a problem with it of any kind. Can't see behind the set, but the bass drum pedal is also a Rogers Swivomatic... of course! That's been my pedal of choice for a long time actually. Regarding my height:

Interesting question actually, and poignant given the tallness of a 14X24 bass drum with relation to the 9X13. I am 6'1" which certainly helps a bit!.. and .. this may be of more consideration actually: I sit at 21" off the floor which is "moderately" low, relatively speaking. Thanks for the comments and question!

fungus amungus!...

And try you did! LOL! Hmmmm... I'll have to pass at this juncture, but your offer has been duly noted and shall be taken under consideration. You will be the first to know! LOL!

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
