ACRYLIC LIFE!

I had longed for an acrylic drumset for a long while. I mean, Bonham. Beyond their ordinarily associated bombast they actually have great dynamic range and a uniquely natural sound. These days they are doing amazing finishes with acrylics that you would never know are synthetic shells.

The folks at Bucks Country Drums Company made my dream into reality with this ‘Reunion’ kit, and it has been my main touring kit since 2016 culminating with our recent run at Ryman Auditorium with the Shit Creek Boys in October, 2018.

The shells are welll crafted with roundover edges in a black Oyster Pearl finish, with black hardware. The shell sizes are an inch deeper than standard size – giving the acrylics even wider dynamic range:

12×11(rack tom); 16×14(floor tom); 20×18(kick drum)

The auction is for the three drums alone, nothing additional.

The shells are in excellent condition kept diligently in heavily protected cases and minded by our head stage person Gabe Monago, a long-time family and whose signature is among those on the kit.
