John Dittrich is the well known drummer, singer and founding member of the country/pop band Restless Heart who had numerous hits in the country and pop genres. He is retiring after a successful career of touring and recording with Restless Heart for thirty years and has consigned 25 snare drums, 50 cymbals and two drum sets to DrumSellers.com to sell. The drum sales will be run as auctions. We have bids on some of them already. The list is below. Prices, pictures and descriptions can be seen on DrumSellers.com. There are some mint gems in this collection and also some work horse drums that were rode hard and put up wet :-).
We are cleaning, pricing and listing these items as fast as we can. Listings so far can be seen at this link https://www.drumsellers.com/?q=Dittrich
