What drums had steel wrapped over wood?? I hear a lot of people complain about the heavy drums back in the day, but I carried a 29" tymp when I was 115lbs and had worse back problems carrying a set of rotos with no shells at all. It was all about leverage. My back is just fine 30 years later, but maybe I was just lucky. Stretching before carrying helped a lot. I actually feel more stress carrying a modern set of quads.

mobrien Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) What drums had steel wrapped over wood?? The chrome wrap on 70s era Slingerlands and Ludwigs was actual chrome-plated steel over the regular 5-ply wood shell. I've stripped several of them over the years to do re-wraps - my guess is that the steel wrap only added a pound or maybe a pound and a half. No biggee.

lindap Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 That it is! What do you know? I'm a star ... Thanks Linda. P.S. Is that John Phillips on the 55 yard line? Sorry ... the photo was taken in Hamilton, Ontario and our football fields are 10 yards longer. You are a star and John is a star amongst the many stars I've met throughout my drum corps and winter guard days :D Hugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindap Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I took this from a website because I remember Kiwanis Kavaliers in 1975. They were little, loud and proud. Good golly, wish there was a recording; they were awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
