Hi George,
I’ve been seeing your name around for years and I am excited to have something cool to bring to your attention. I just bought a new kit from Nelson’s in Nashville, but have been perplexed on where it came from. The sizes are:
13x8
15x15
21x 14 - currently using 21” tympani heads
Nelson’s thought they are MIJ but chat gpt has me convinced they were Italian but then I reached out to Luca Luciano who adamantly told me they weren’t. The metric sizes make me think maybe German? Tromsa? Or are they higher end MIJ Star drums?
There are no badges and I haven’t found any stamps on any of the hardware.
It’s been fun detective work, and I appreciate any help or insights you may have!!
