Wanted


Here, you will find listings of items for which either clients or we are currently searching. If you or someone you know has one of these for sale, we would love to hear from you! 

We offer this service free of charge for our clients. To be included on this list, drop us a line and let us know what you are looking for! This list is updated frequently, so check back often!

At this time, we are looking for any and all snare drums from early American manufacturers in need of restoration. Drums from builders such as Barry, Conn, Diston, Duplex, Stone, Stromberg and Wilson are being sought after by a private client to build a personal, museum quality collection. Special consideration given to unique examples, separate tension tuning systems, and original drums. Please send us an email with what you have available!

The Want List:

  • Leedy&Ludwig - 1950's 16" Floor Tom in Blue Sparkle
  • Camco - 1960's 14" Floor Tom in Black Diamond Pearl
  • Slingerland - 1950's 16" Floor Tom in Sparkling Black Pearl​
  • Tama - Pat30 lugs for a 5X14 three-way tuning snare drum
  • Any and all Frank Wolf drums
  • Any drum sets from American manufacturers in smaller sizes

And as always, any pre-1980's American Made drums, sets, singles, cymbals or hardware. We love Camco, Leedy, Ludwig, Rogers, Gretsch, Wolf, Duplex, Stone, Slingerland, and all the great manufacturers of the past!
