Just because I’m lazy and don’t want to deal with shipping lol, not to mention dealing with careless shippers if something goes wrong. Not a single query yet locally so if I get no takers by next week, I’ll ship it if there is still interest. Would much prefer that this drum go to a DW member who would treasure it.Hah! I was wondering if you might have something to say about this! ;-) Unfortunately, it's only available for local pickup right now.

Update: Rich found a local buyer so I didn't get to buy the drum. I'm super bummed but I did ask him to let me know if it turns up for sale again.

I'm trying to thin the herd. If anyone is interested in these let me know. Killer steambent set in excellent condition. They look and sound great. Of course you could always buy a Craviotto and pay 3X as much!
Summit Drum Co. Solid Shell Curly Maple 3 pc 22-13-16 | Reverb
On offer is a 3 pc Summit Drum Company Solid Shell Curly Maple drum set. These drums are made by steam bending solid lengths of North American Hard Rock Maple lumber. Compare to Craviotto drums which you'll pay 3X as much for. Handcrafted by master drum builder Gary Posey of Summit Drums. Sizes arereverb.com
I can attest to the quality of these drums ( I own a kit ) and I think they have the best build quality of any drum set I have ever owned . They sound and look superb and as stated above they are a fraction of the cost of a Craviotto or other steambent kit . This Company may get big and this would allow you to get in on the ground floor for a reasonable cost .

'03 Gretsch USA Maple Series 20"/10"/12"/14". Offers around £1850. Postage Available.
- 10" X 7" 6 ply maple rack tom
- 12" X 8" 6 ply maple rack tom
- 14" X 12" 6 ply maple rack tom
- 20" X 18" 10 ply maple bass drum
(5 lugs on 10" and 12", 8 lugs on 14" and BD)
- 2.3mm triple flanged Gretsch hoops
- Gretsch suspension mounting system
- natural maple bass hoops (these are new - it also comes with the original black hoops)
- 3 X Gretsch tom mounts
Heads:
- Coated over clear Remo Ambassadors (as new)
- Aquarian Superkick II bass batter head (as new)
- Aquarian Regulator bass reso head (as new)
The maple series was a limited run line of USA-made, pre-configured kits sold between around '03 and '05.
These are essentially off-the-shelf USA customs and came about in order to fulfil the back log on Gretsch's production line.
They are the same shells and hardware used in the USA customs but were offered in a limited number of configurations and only 3 finishes, in this case Satin Azure Black (this is why they are not called 'Customs' because they weren't as customise-able).
The finish is a really nice warm dark stain that shows the grain of the wood underneath very nicely
Having researched these kits, I can tell it is a 2003 model because it has triple flanged hoops - from '04 they started selling them with diecast hoops. This means that the shells on this kit are likely to be the iconic Jasper shells used by Gretsch from 1958 to 2003 that are etched into Gretsch nerd fokelore.
Gretsch used 5 lug configuration on their 10" and 12" drums as it reduces the amount of hardware on the drum and allows the shell to resonate better. These also have the famous 'silver sealer' on the insides of the shells, which indicates that these are the top-of-the-line USA shells.
The bearing edges are all perfect as is the consistency of the shell roundness. This was made during a great era for Gretsch and its quality control.
The toms all sound fantastic and take to different tunings very well. The bass drum is very beefy, responsive and is one of the very few I've played that sounds good with no damping.
The history of this kit is that in its early life, it was used in London's West End, it then ended up in Scotland, where I bought it in 2012. I took it with me when I moved to Belfast and am now moving to a smaller house and won't have space anymore.
Bad bits: there are a fair few minor scuffs and scratches but no more than you might expect from a nearly 20 year old kit. I've tried to show them in some of the photos but I have more detailed ones to send on if requested.
I don't have any recordings of my kit, but this YouTube clip is a good representation (slightly deeper 14" tom and shallower BD on the kit in the clip)
I have only ever found one other of these kits for sale (the one in the above youtube clip), so this is a chance to get yourself a rare piece of Gretsch history and an amazing kit at the same time. I will be very sad to see it go.
Any further questions or photo requests, please ask.
Thanks for looking.

I am doing a serious clean out of my drum inventory. And I’m down to just 6 snares left. With half being 13”..
That said I have built up an insane inventory of drumheads. Some are brand new, others are like and zero are lifeless.
Would anyone be interested in purchasing this Lot of 14” snare heads. There are 3 Evans HD Dry that are brand new. Everything from snare side heads to Evans Calftone.
I’d sell the whole lot of them for 70 bucks and I’ll cover shipping.
Let me know.
I’ll be doing the same for 22” bass drum heads, 10, 12 and 16” toms.
I just have too much crap:
