For Sale - The Solid 10 Celebrity Model
The exclusive single ply steam bent maple shell is hand made from scratch by Evan Thomas in our woodworking shop in Phoenix Arizona. The unique features on this 7.25” x 14” curly maple model above include ten vintage Slingerland Radio King style beavertail 3.5” lugs, ten hole chrome over brass 2.3 mm counter hoops, and an extended snare wires and strainer system with dual tensioning that allows for maximum snare sensitivity and response. Regular 14” wires can be used too. This drum’s shell is an exact replica of the vintage Radio King single ply shells of the past in its deep, wide snare beds, the thickness of the shell and the dimensions of the reinforcing rings at top and bottom. This is from my personal hoard and is the first that was produced when we started the manufacturing the different stock models so, it’s #1!. It is actually a “second” because of the seam being in the wrong place cosmetically. It’s not a defect but usually the seam is underneath the throw off. This one is on an adjacent panel. Of course this doesn’t affect the sound or operation. The Solid Ten regularly sells for $1000. I am discounting this one to $800 because of that irregularity. Contact me to purchase, to audition, or for further details. george@notsomoderndrummer.com.
