Not Quite Vintage

Posts: 5240 Threads: 1231

I picked up this little beauty today from a guy in Austin. This is a custom kit made by Rochefort Drum Company.They are a small Texas company that's been around since 2012. This particular kit was made for the drummer of an Austin based band called The Wheeler Brothers. I got a great deal from the second owner because he is leaving the country tomorrow and needed to move them fast. It has 3ply maple/poplar/maple shells with re-rings and rounded bearing edges. I really dig the lugs.

Nice score, Johnny. Can you post a close up of the lugs?

Drums from Texas are just better! I may be a bit biased...
