We’ve had these shells for approximately 15 years and they have been an active part of our hire stock until the past couple of years which has seen them working a lot less. This is not a reflection on these shells more that of the demand for other brands and sizes that are currently more popular. Made in Germany, these shells are spun so are seamless. This finish has the sparkle running through it due it being added when the shells were being spun. Great sounding drums, classic acrylic… Loads of attack and low end thud with it… Scoop out all those middle frequencies! The bearing edges are all fine, the acrylic has small patches of “frosting” – when it becomes a little opaque. The chrome is not good… It’s not pitting at all but is scratched badly and chipped in places. These are only aesthetics and could be improved with a complete strip, polish and buffing – something we could do in our workshop for an additional charge.

Drum sizes are 24″ bass, 12″, 14″, 16″, and 18″ toms, and 14″ snare. The 14″, 16″ and 18″ toms have all been equipped with new Nickel Geiger Floor Mount Hoops, which enables you to use any of these three drums as a rock kit (16″ or 18″), or a jazz kit (14″). I used all original new chrome DW Tom Mounts on these floor toms, along with new DW Chrome Floor Tom Legs. Thus, altogether, there are 9 new DW Chrome Tom Mounts on these Geiger Floor Hoops, and 9 DW Floor Legs. This is an outstanding “Bonham” set with the larger sizes. I have used it in various configurations. The 18 really sings. This custom, hand-painted and lacquered drum set is finished in the highly sought after “Superman’s Hair” finish. This lacquer paint has a black base, with Blue Flakes added. The Blue Flakes cannot be seen unless you look closely at the drum, or the light hits it. These drums have become almost impossible to find. You will see from the photos that I have installed the DrumLite LED lights on each of these drums; I will leave them or remove them according to the new owner’s preference. Please note that the DrumLite power system is not included… Just the interior LED lights. Overall, the set is in great condition with minimal to moderate wear on the shells and hardware. The drums will have a moderate amount of scuffs, but none have noteworthy scratches or dings. There is one, 3 scuff of the bass drum, but not a scratch. The set has spent most of its life in an air conditioned storage unit. The set was played in several live settings, but it was always protected. All Shells are the highly respected early Keller Maple, and are unmarked (no interior Notes, Dates, or Signatures) which was the norm in the late 1980s and 1990s of DW manufacturing. All Black DW Badges, with the exception of the Snare, which is Gold. This is a (Pre) Collectors Set, and the precursor to the Collectors models now offered by DW. Some DW enthusiasts believe these are some of the finest, and most custom drums that DW has ever offered. The early Maple Shells made Keller an international favorite. All drums are in the same Serial # family (with exception of Snare). It took me over 5 years to find the matching snare drum, and it has the Gold DW Badge. Bass Drum: Virgin 24″ (Diameter) x 18″ (Length); 1.5 Maple Hoops; All original; 20 Chrome Turret Lugs; Original Chrome Claws & T-Rods. The Batter Head is a Clear Aquarian with minimal wear. Toms: All toms have their original DW Bottom Heads from the 1990s. The top heads are the newer Clear DW heads with play wear. The 18 batter head is white. 12″ x 9″; Mounted Tom with DW Tom Mount; Serial # 304651. 14″ x 12″, Geiger Floor Tom Mounting System, Serial #304662. 16″ x 14″, Geiger Floor Tom Mounting System, Serial #304663. 18″ x 16″, Geiger Floor Tom Mounting System, Serial #304654. Snare Drum: 14″ x 5″; 10 Chrome Turret Logs, White Batter DW Clock Drumhead Exc. Plies: You can count in photo above 14-20 ply? But it is approximately 1/2 thick. Original DW Strainer/Butt, Wires (unmarked). I paid a small fortune for this rare snare, and was fortunate to find it. Hardware: Geiger Floor Hoops System (x 3); 9 DW Floor Tom Legs, 9 DW Tom Mounts (on Floor Toms); 1 DW Tom Mount (12 tom). Please, serious inquiries and offers only. If it’s more, I’ll assume the cost. These are very heavy drums. All sales are final, so PLEASE contact me if you have questions, or would like additional information or photos. I have done my best to describe this rare set as accurately as possible, and hopefully didn’t miss anything. But please inspect the photos carefully and ask questions if you are not sure. I believe in the Golden Rule…. I also will have other DW drums, electronic and vintage drums, and accessories in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for your review!

Ayotte Custom Drum Set Kit (Early 90’s Ray Era) in Metallic Coral Flake Lacquer. Here’s an awesome Ayotte Custom Drum Set Kit (Early 90’s Ray Era) in Metallic Coral Flake Lacquer for sale! This kit is unique in that it doesn’t feature the wood hoops Ayotte is most known for using, but instead has metal hoops. Despite this, this kit is definitely a Canadian made Ayotte Custom, and not the import Drumsmith series they also had released. All drums are Canadian maple, and sound great for any style out there! All drums are equipped with Ayotte lugs, which allow for very quick head changes and very little tuning slippage. These toms bring the power! Sizes are: 8×8 9×10 12×12 13×13 16×16 floor tom. 18×22 Includes 4 Ayotte tom stand platforms. Comes equipped with a Kelly Shu internal Mic system! (See Pictures) This kit sounds and looks amazing, and is in excellent shape especially considering its age! We apologize for the flash/lighting glare marks, and reassure you that those are not scratches but merely reflections from the finish. There are some scratches here and there, and the bass drum hoops undersides are marked from being used with pedals, but the kit is stellar overall. Don’t let this deal pass you by! Both will be active with only the best new, used and vintage drum gear. The item “Ayotte Custom Drum Set Kit (Early 90’s Ray Era) in Metallic Coral Flake Lacquer” is in sale since Saturday, December 29, 2018.
