Ludwig will be making a reissue of John Bonham's stainless steel kit this year. The sizes are 26, 15, 16, 18, with a 14in Supraphonic snaredrum. Ludwig will only be making 100 drumsets, I have no idea what the price is, but, you can see a picture of the set in this month's Modern Drummer. I have also noticed stainless steel drumsets popping up on Ebay, in the Ludwig section.

Ludwig is about to release on the market 1000 brand new stainless steel kits that are replicas of John Bonham's "final" kit he used in Led Zeppelin. You may want to check one of these out.

Yes, They did reissue the stainless steel kits in a "Bonham" configuration. For the mere price of nearly $7000.00 Eye Ball you can own one. Only 50 of the 100 sets made were released in the US. They are all sold. So now you have to find the set on Ebay more than likely.

I would just sit tight on that dream and wait for the people that buy them then want to sell them. I have seen more then a few of the Bonham vistas go up on the market.

I have a SS set, but not the sizes you want (Man oh man if it had the 24!)

It is for sale though and close to excellent-mint condition with one small tiny-itsy-teeny-weeny mark on the floor tom.

I have all of the set buffed out except the bass drum and the shells are like glass and shine baby shine!! All original, nothing missing and I also have all of the original hardware.... badges are excellent...

Was that a sales pitch or what!

David,

I have the same set as you, BUT I am in need of the L posts for the upper toms, the 5/16" curved bass drum legs (the ones that go into the drum when you pack it up) and 1 floor tom leg mount. You wouldn't know where I could get these would you? Thanks.
