Dandy Drums - Australia

Loading...

I would like to try and find some more info on one of my drums.

It's a 26" x 12" Dandy bass drum; I've owned it for about 20 years and occasionally used it as kick drum for a 3 piece kit that I have put together.

Originally I also had a wooden snare from the same kit/era as well as a small woodblock & cowbell + a couple of stands... [unfortunately most of these are still residing with the ex... :-( ].

I an thinking of trying to obtain the other bits so I can restore them all, any info on these items would be appreciated; I have attached some pics of the bass.

Cheers,

meabas.

Hey welcome and good to see someone with an interest in Dandy. I hav a snare, tom and Bass Drum (although the BD has different lugs and I suspect is not Dandy, but some other brand modified to be part of a kit

In brief Dandy was made by the Drouyn Company, (Dandy being a concatenation od the owner and his wife (can't remember exactly but like Dennis anD Drouyn).

If you check the link http://www.vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=17907&highlight=Drouyn

there's a long discussion/history of Drouyn

Good luck on finding more bits as they are fairly rare and don't come often. In the thread above you'll see a contribution a member here who has put together some history on Drouyn, including some pics of a georgous Droyn kit he picked up.

Cheers

For those who may be interested - I am considering selling the 26" drum mentioned in this thread.

I simply do not have the time, space or experience to restore this drum and give it the attention it deserves.

Drop me a message if you are interested in this great piece of Australian drum history :-)
