Goin to be havin the other two drums, but missed out on a matching 14" floor. I sold me BDP set to fund this, so I'm not going to get into trouble....really chuffed to have gotten such ace sizes, mind!!



Can anyone tell me what tom holder this woulda had, the correct one for the kit, era, etc??

Congrats - and shame you didn´t get the 14".

Not cheap, but still OK, I think.


This shop gives great service - bought a nice Inferno Red Projector kit there in december, postage less than 50£ to Denmark. Kit perfect, 2 very minor scratches all that could be found. Now awating cutdown from powersizes to normal, new lugs have been assmbled. Thanks, Nick and others!

Regards

- The 8" is not "really" a Resonator, is it? It is a thick shell, no rings, no liner, right?

Nice haul Dug. I think some of the earlier 8" Resonators had thin re-ring shells, but no liners which Prem claimed (probably quite rightly) that they did not have a worthwhile affect on the sound.

Would be an absolute pain to fit one - very fiddly, getting all your three hands into so little space to do the job.

I have never seen an 8" Elite with rerings neither...

Nice! I once wrote a short story in the style of Douglas Adams' Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy. It said something like this: The fact that humans have two hands is conclusive proof of the non-existence of God, for if he did exist he would have known that all jobs which Man undertakes require three hands, so He would have made us with three.

The 8" doesn't have a liner, the finishing on these drums is like obsidian, beautiful, just bloody miffed somebody has the 14x14 floor before I got a chance on it!!

No liner - but no re-rings either, or?

If it has, I can send you a piece of 2 mm birgh to fit in it, if you´d like a try...

Great!

Mine:

OK,these are coated, the bass is an early APK, the 14 and 15 are both converted hangers, so 14x12 and 15x13.

But they DO sound great!

I have an 8" projector, No rings thick shell so I assume the resonator is the same
