Best looking drums used by a corps


Recommended Posts

"SHARKOS!! EVERYBODY OUT OF THE WATER!!!"

These drums would look great... if the weren't Ludwigs <vomits on shoes>, that huge block of plastic at 11 O'Clock really pulls the drum together... <**>

Though don't get it twisted, I love the old school black oyster wrap! :doh:

I dig, too. But why such an anti-Ludwig crowd? Their latest models sound good, and the tenors actually sound as close to Pearl tenors as any other company... If you go with 2006 on, they are definitely a contender, and no worse than Dynasty. Four good companies putting out drums... competition is good!

Is it the 4-bar setup? I think it looks better that way, honestly. I want to see the cover. I don't want to see 12-bar jail. But frankly, that's the technology of the drum. You can cover Ludwigs any way you see fit, but if the 4-bar thing bugs you, it bugs you. It doesn't bug me, I guess.

I can't believe nobody has brought up VK! While the best-known VK drums are probably the neon yellow from '92, see if you can dig up a picture of 1993's multicolored sparkle look. Really pretty. ^_^

Those drums had individual prism mirrors.

Garfield did that in 86, too. Like disco balls.

Blessed Sac's tiger stripe was always one of my faves growing up...

I actually helped build the double tenors from old single drums after the 69 season when I was deciding whether to join BS or Garfield for 1970...

Not the best picture but:
