Which one do you like better?

I love them both equallly , honestly . I don't need both but keep both . Have been playing the Birch for the past month or so and am about to switch to the Maples . When I'm gone my grandson - now 3 and plays them every time he and his parents visit - will inherit along with a host of other drums , cymbals , etc...Oh , # 2 grandson due this week . If he takes to the drums like # 1 did , they can fight over which kit they want !

Cool!

The local drumshop had a big kit in that wood.

This is a stunning one too:

I wonder if it ever sold in Italy.

That's the Walkabout Karijini kit. I wonder where it went?

Canopus RFM Club Kit. I need to replace that front head, that's what it came with (I got it used.)

 

[bigbonzo]

This is the first drum from my soon to be bop kit . I am waiting on the 12” and 14”. Pretty stoked about the potential of this kit. I love Walnut drums .View attachment 571667

Do you have pictures of the rest of that beautiful set?

I too have a BCA bop kit , bought new here in Japan and was one of the last to come out of the Sakae factory . 18/14/12 cost $ 1100 !

 

[TheDrummerFromAmsterdam]

Here is mine.

It has a 6,5 from the same year (1991) and an additional 5,5.

Some kits I have owned in the past - both 18” and 20” bass drum boom kits and a 16” bass kit

 

[Taiko]

I have two. Canopus RFM 12/14/18 and Rogers Powertone, which would count as a jazz kit in the bop era of jazz, although it is a 20/16/13 setup, so it's probably a bit bigger than most think of as a bop kit these days. Philly Joe Jones played 13/16/22 as did West Coast jazz drummers like Joe Morello. Larry Bunker (Bill Evans Trio, so West coast) used a 20" BD with 12/14 toms.
