Its too bad I do not play very much anymore.
 
Everyone has posted some amazing drums. It is a lovely thing to see those old drums being played with vintage and modern hardware.


I love the 20" BD. They sound bigger than they are. I have two project sets with 22" bass drums, and have owned a set with a 22. Very good sound out of them.
 
Here ya go....
Slingerland, red glass glitter.

Some very nice kits here!

These are mine, Ludwig Vistalites from late 70s / early 80s probably?
The Acrolite is from the 80s.

These Vistas were beat up and in very bad shape, I had to do some serious work on them in order to bring them back to life. But I think I did a pretty good job and they do sound really good now!

I own no vintage but remember in 1966 when I was in high school and one of the other percussionists brought his blue sparkle Rogers set to school for a music program and how all of us just drooled. Great stuff gentlemen.
 
Wow beautiful sets in here! I posted this thread (forgot the password to my old account), glad to see people are still contributing.
 
This is my 1989 Tama Granstar Nile Blue Kit.... I still play it... This picture is from 2013...
