I am extremely lucky to have a very understanding wife who has let me indulge my passion for all things DRUMS! At one point the collection numbered some 80 odd kits and a couple of hundred snare drums.
These days I am reducing the collection and also renting out a few of the more basic kits to my students.
I have no single favourite set (most people’s first question) but there have been a few very nice ones (thanks Mr Paice) and I do enjoy finding oddities like the unique Natal ‘Scream’ and ‘Celtic’ kits and the extremely rare Promuco kit. That I restored.
The snare drum collection has held some amazing examples of the art of drum making including all the major Premier snares produced since 1957, the year I was born. My little hoard has included DW Edges, Craviottos, Dunnetts, Ludwigs etc. along with more exotics from the likes of Joyful Noise, Van Kleef, Trick, Slingerland
If you have any interesting drums going spare I’d love to hear from you and if you’d like more info on my collection or just like talking about drums, then give me a call
