Hey guys,
I found these Matador drums earlier this week
they were advertised locally on Craig's list for a hundred bucks
I was lucky enough to catch the posting just minutes after showing up
There are no resonant side heads hoops or hardware on any of the drums
There is also no snare drum that my seller knows of so far
But on the up side there is the floor tom included for a change
The missing lugs are identical to those found on an Olympian kit
somewhat like but bulkier and with a flat much less rounded profile to them than the run of the mill Slingerland copy lugs
I have some like them in mediocre to poor condition in the bass drum size
and maybe a few stragglers in the tom size but I think I will need twenty tom sized to get reso heads back on these drums
From what I can gather, these Matador badged drums
may be a bit less common than many of the other stencil names
First time for me seeing them other than a reference to them on the Japanese drum badge page ....Kenwood
p.s. I have been trying to post some photos but have had no luck
each time I got the error message below I've tried resizing them
by sending them to myself via e-mail same result
if anyone knows how to correct that? please let me know
