I bought this 6" and 8" toms couple of days ago.My thinking it is old Trowa, according to lugs and tension rods thread, 6mm.Also, there was old post from Father 42 about Trowa snare with , I think identical lugs
Please help identify
Some more pics, and picture from here, from old thread
Look like George Jetson's bongos. Those are cool! Excited
What a fantastic find!
Question:
Are the lugs one-piece castings with tapped threads, or is there a floating insert inside?
Yes, it's old Trowa bongos.
Rare find, Dule !!
Cheers,
George.
Thank you guys!
There is no lug insert
In cast lug,they drilled hole and thread for tension rod and mounting screws
I don't think it's Trowa - i've seen a few of these drums, but i've never encountered such lugs. As far as I know, Trowa always used chromed lugs with nut inserts. Also, the hoops of the snare don't seem right - they look like cast, and Trowa always used triple flanged hoops with the top edge bent inwards, covering the the bearing edge, like old Slingerlands.
