Wow, that's quite a collection! Those mahogany/maple marchers in the back caught my eye too, that's always a classy look!

I just got started " collecting" in the fall. I do believe I may be hooked. My wife asked the other day how many drumsets I have. Trouble is, I'm not sure!!LOL!

A guitar-player friend of mine gave our disease - which I'd rather refer to as a "condition" - a name. It's called GAS (gear acquisition syndrome). I've been told by my wife and friends that I have a pretty bad case of it. I am somewhat glad to say that I'm getting a little better...I let my wife talk me out of buying a slightly beat up 70s Slingerland Gene Krupa Sound King snare for $75 simply so I could have a snare with which I wasn't too attached to leave with the drums I have set up in my band's rehearsal space (the guitarists garage). That just leaves me with another $75 to put toward my next purchase.
Anyway, now that I have given you the diagnosis of your/our condition, I must say congratulations on your latest acquisition. Cool1 I'm a sucker for champagne sparkle.

GAS is the correct description of our condition. I'm also in the vDrum forum and the condition is prevalent there as well although I've stopped spending money there and have been focusing on my vintage drums.

Progress report so far...the 13 shined up pretty well! I had to get a new hoop and lug screws for her, but everything else looked in pretty good order. New heads, removed and polished all the chrome, tightened up the rattly muffler, and shined her up. The edges looked round and totally "non-edgy"...but they looked untouched, so I left them as is. No out-of-roundness or uneven edges on this one. The 20 has a few issues to deal with, so I did the easy part first! :)
