I bought this kit brand new. This was before the vintage bug hit me! Steve Gadd was my big inspiration and I wanted a kit like him. Back then he played a 14x14 and a 15x15 floor tom. The YESS system was not in the market yet and I did not want any tom holder mounts mounted to the Shell. So Slagtøj Centret in Copenhagen got the drums home for me through a contact in New York.
For years I had the hanging type RIMS on the floor toms, but I got tired of carrying the heavy stand around. Now the have the more modern type with floor tom legs.
So this is a true Recording custom drum kit from the golden years and it just sound the best. All virgin Shells!
In january 2014 I had the pleasure of Steve Gadd visiting me in my home! He kindly signed a set of heads for my kit. The heads have never been played on. I only had them on for the Photo shoot. Gadd have never played on my kit....just been next to it with all his great drumming karma.
