This past week I won a beautiful 18x16 Sky Blue FT on Ebay , but I've decided not to have the drum shipped to Japan after all .

It was very much an impluse purchase . I was thinking about converting it into an 18" bass drum ( no drilling - using a cradle or riser ) and using it along with a matching pristine 1961 Jazz Festival I have as a 2 piece kit , but since I already have three 18" bass drum kits having this drum would be superfluous to say the least . Paul Wilmet ( a great guy ) is holding the drum down in TENN . Price is $ 455 + $ 20 shipping . Here are some pics . This is a beauty .
