I read that Earl Palmer was recording some BIG HITS using a 26" Bass Drum for a while. I'm not sure if he was using Rogers at that time. That N.O. Funeral Parade sound! Walking

Hi,

In Star Sets: Drum Kits of the Great Drummers, Earl Palmer says his older stuff with David Bartholomew was a Leedy Kit and the bass drum had a picture of a nude woman on it. (No dimensions given).

Subsequently (1956) he went with Gretsch Broadkastersand the diagram for that kit gives the following dimensions:

Snare: 6 1/2x14"

Tom: 9X13"

Floor tom: 16X16"

Kick: 26" (no depth provided)

(15" hi hats btw)

Patrick
