60's Stetson Drums

Loading...

Dumpster drums.. I liked the sound of this dumpster salvage enough to use them for smaller venues..the toms are 12,13, & 14 with a 20" kick..I switched out the snare to a 70's Pearl Japan 10 lug.

The Bass drum..ride tom and snare were all a Psychedelic Blue wrap that was in real bad shape..the Badge was only still there on the tom tom..it was a very thin metal..possibly aluminum..and it was glued on not a rivet or small screws..it was all curled up on the edges..so I didn't try to salvage it.. but this is what it looked like..I am a graphic designer so I was going to make a duplicate..I figured it was Japanese but I can't find any history on Stetson Drums..the floor tom is a Stewart..I do have the badge for that..

So- how do you mount a bass drum pedal to that?

Very astute..teverson-sr ... engineering flaw on my part..didn't have the original bass drum spurs and the ones I had were to short..so I moved one spur mount to make it work..without realizing what the rotation would do to the lug and claw location..I removed the bottom claw to put the pedal on..will have to make the change when I wrap them some day.
