Please feel free to dig around here and see how it works.
All the links in the right column are to "drum brand forums", one forum for each brand of drum that ever existed (at least that is the goal). There you can post pictures, ask and answer questions about the particular drums you are interested in. Feel free to use it as your own personal parking place for pictures of your drums or drum set that you can link to and direct your friends to. We especially welcome new drum builders and new drum companies, and we invite any owner of a boutique company to be the moderator of that company's forum. If your drum has a badge on it we want you here.
There is also a forum link above that includes not only those brand forums and the general discussion, classifieds, and administration forums too.
The media page is for uploading catalogs, pics, videos, or any type of research media.
The Identify section is for time lines, badge charts, production info that may help in identifying the vintage of individual drums.
This is a participant driven site, an "open source" site, and depends on you to contribute the pictures, articles, advice and discussion so please dive in. We also need moderators if you have a favorite brand that you could contribute your experience to.
Stay tuned, George Lawrence, head drum geek.
