King's stone: Snare Drum!

Posts: 1432 Threads: 110

Hi,

Like to share two pics of a King's Stone snare drum. Guess it's rather rare ...

Thought until this, that King's Stone was only the head's brand ...!

King's Stone = a STAR brand name, for shells as well.

Thanks, grantro (I try my very best ;) )!

There's another King's Stone, a complete drumset, here:

Finish appears to be the same, but this drumset is in Italy (the snare drum was a German ebay auction).

What does the name Kings Stone have to do with ANYTHING?It is just SO RANDOM-Most of the MIJ names relate to drums,or a venue you'd play drums at,etc. Maybe something valuable,like a Pearl?A King's Stone...That is a reachBurger Kin

Teverson-sr: my first idea was, that it is a wordplay/ a modification of King's Tone (as Star/ Tama always had/ has an affinity to Royalties: Royal Star, Imperial Star)!
