Nice C&C set in the avatar, what are you playing?I know C&C makes the kind of drums (with the 3 ply layup you are looking for) because i have a set. They are fantastic drums.
It’s a 3 ply set they made for me in navy blue sparkle lacquer.Nice C&C set in the avatar, what are you playing?
Don't know what config that isIt’s a 3 ply set they made for me in navy blue sparkle lacquer.
It was a special order.Don't know what config that is
I stand corrected, their 12th & Vine are 5 plys but set up like classic 3 plys with either maple/maghog/walnut with poplar in the middle. So if they are offering 3 plys, I don't see them on their website.

C & C Drums' 12th & Vine line features a choice of 5-ply Maple, Mahogany, or Walnut shells, all with a Poplar core that warms the shell and absorbs unwanted overtones; good for live or studio use.| C & C Drums USAwww.candcdrumsusa.com
Bernie is still with us!?. I knew he had health issues years ago. He had done bearing edge work on a stave drum moons ago which was near miraculous. This is a good day!.Oh btw:
Bernie Stone from Stone Custom Drums makes the shells for the Canpous Neo-Vintage drums.
Just an FYI.
Slight correction: The Sakae Trilogy series is the 3-ply, the light ones. (Sakae Almighties are heavy, though beautiful-sounding drums.)Sakae Almighty (3 ply and lighter hardware then Gretsch)

Both are becoming harder to find, esp in small sizes, since the Japanese-based operation closed their doors 3 years ago.
I didn't get along well with a new Club Date kit. Beautiful looking but quite cardboard sounding. Quite the opposite of musical and not at all suited for jazz.If you could find a Ludwig Club Date (either USA or SE) kit still in stock, it'd be a great score. I play the large Fab kit tuned medium-low for rock, but it tunes up for a nice jazzy ping too.
True. That’s also probably true for most music being made today at a semi-pro or hobby level. I haven’t gigged 100+ shows in a year since the late 90s or early 2000s. Hard to justify spending a ton on new gear these days.Jazz? There’s no money in jazz. Spend less than $500 on one of those Sonor AQX kits instead. The $$$$ spent on high end jazz drums will never be earned back!
If you do corporate gigs, weddings, or dive bars you can still make a decent amount of playing time these days, even in covid times.True.

The Sonor kits are really heavy for their size. I had one of the smallish kits and the kick weighed as much as a 20" DW kick.Jazz? There’s no money in jazz. Spend less than $500 on one of those Sonor AQX kits instead. The $$$$ spent on high end jazz drums will never be earned back!
I just have disposable incomeThe Sonor kits are really heavy for their size. I had one of the smallish kits and the kick weighed as much as a 20" DW kick.
Plus I'm not investing with a ROI in mind. I don't think you are either, Bo, or else you would not own a zillion kits and be buying/ selling as much as you post here
That's a problem for a lot of us here on this forum lolI just have disposable income
