I beg to differ... because there are so few Blaemire shells in the world,

Your collection is HUGE! Jumping2

Love em, thanks for posting the photo.

That bottom one only has four more lugs we can`t see ??

Oddball, it's a ten-lugger, not 8... ;)

It's just the Rogers version of Jerry's (right) and My (left) "schoolfest" snares.;)

That's right, it's just the Rogers version.

Hey Greg, thanks for the additional pics. I think John likes these shell pics.

I wonder how far the Blaemires have traveled across the US. Or the world.

Ringo's got shipped to England.

Maybe some more shells hiding out in Florida?

You'd think most of them would have surfaced by now. And yes, I love those shells. The damn things almost glow with an inner light. Love that green glass.

Me and Mendozart go way back, to another forum. He's got some great gear and he's a great guy. Thanks for posting the photo!

Why aren't more of the drummers here interested in Blaemire drums? The minute I learned about them I was curious about them and hooked to learn more. If some of the guys would ask some questions, we might even get Jinx to spend a little more time here.

I am interested; however, I am a poor little rabbit when it comes to moneys for new (to me) drum shells...

There's just not alot of them around, and usually they're hiding under some sort of wrap, so you have to have a keen eye. These green tubs have taken me to some very new and interesting percussive avenues. When I first saw Jerry post some pics of them, the look piqued my interest immensely. Luckily, Jerry is fairly local to me, and I was able to hear and play them. I was hooked. I have been so happy with finding my sound in them, that I sold off my Tama, DW, and Ludwig drums. Plus, I've made a very good friend in my newfound discovery of the Blaemires.;)

Does anyone know if there is a bio on Allen Blaemire, or a history of Blaemire drums anywhere on the web? I've searched, can't find any.
