1996 DW Collectors Series Drums (electric blue finish ply)

The sizes are: 18” x 22” bass drum, 4” x 14” snare drum, 9” x 10” tom, 13” x 16” tom, 8” side tom, 14” x 18” floor tom & 6” x 10” side snare.  DW calls these fast sizes.  I have all DW hardware (double braced) and DW pedals & throne.  I also use a cowbell mounted on the bass drum, a cowbell attached to a foot pedal and a woodblock attached to the hi-hat stand.  The cymbals are all Zildjian: 22” Ping Ride, 19” Thin Crash, 18” Crash Ride, 8” Splash & 14” new beat hi-hats. 

The sizes are 14" x 18" bass drum, 3" x 12" snare drum, 8" x 10" tom and 14" x 14" floor tom.  My friend John who owns and operates California Drum Shop made these for me.  For a very fair price, he'll make one for you too.  The drum shells are the same as most top of the line drums.  The construction is brilliant and they sound awesome.  For a small sized drum set, they sound monstrous.  This is by far the best set of drums I've ever owned.

I've had these for quite some time now.  They'll been in storage since I bought the DW's & California Drum Shop kits.  This company is now called Fibes.  I got this set through a friend of mine who was doing some work for them.  They are excellent drums but very big and boomy.
