Vintage Gear

[Bart Elliott]

If you own any vintage gear or instruments, tell us what you have!

To me, vintage means from the 1960's or older; preferably the older.

This will be a bleak input, but here goes:

A Ludwig Speedmaster pedal.  Cork beater, leather strap and original red paint.  Pretty cool on my mantle.  That's all!     :-\

If meant drum gear, then no. However I do own my fathers Egmond electrical guitar which I think was from 1960, it even has the old snare still on them (only 4 left though) and it still works. I heard American collectors sometimes pay ammounts between 600 and 700 dollars for a guitar in good state, so this ones probably worth 10  :D

I have a few things, but some of it is really borderline when it comes to earning the title of vintage.

• GRETSCH 4-pc Progressive Jazz d.1968 (recovered in African Bubinga)
• KENT 5" x 14" Steel Shell Snare; 6 lug
• LUDWIG 5" x 14" Steel Shell - Akrolite Snare; 8 lug, d. 4/24/67
  
• LUDWIG 5" x 14" Stainless Steel Shell - Super Sensitive Snare; 10 lug, Pre-70's
  
• LUDWIG 14" x 15" Field Drum - Stadium d.1960
• K ZILDJIAN 16" Crash made in Instanbul
• LEEDY 12" HiHat (bottom only) with Zils (jingles)
• Chinese Temple Block (just one)

That's all that I can think of at the moment. I would really love to have a LUDWIG Black Beauty, and even a Billy Gladstone snare ... now that would be sweet.

I have mentioned previously. I have a 1960s Yamaha kit with a 60s Rogers Floor tom and Snare (6 lug).

I also had a 30s or 40s Radio King deep snare for awhile.. :(

Nope.

I have a mixing board from 1982 and a Shure Brothers SM 57 maybe late 70's.

Oh wait...yes I do!

A 1969 McIntosh 240 tube amp to run my mid fields-  it is awesome.

No drum stuff...used to have a 54 ludwig maple picolo and a 74 gretch black walnut.  I also had a really old rogers drum that sounded like a rocking chair creaking when you would give it a rimshot...I think it was from the 40's- can't remember.
