Drums

At the new Q3.0 we have a ’79 Slingerland house kit, with 9×13″ and 16×16″ toms, and a 14×22″ kick. For house cymbals, we have Zildjian 14” K sweet hats, an 18” K paper thin crash, and a 20” K ride. While we used to keep a large collection of Carl Plaster’s drums around, we only have a few pieces at the moment.

NOTE – SOME OF THESE ARE NOT ON SITE AT THE MOMENT, but are mentioned here as a reference for future rental. Please check in with us before your session if you’re interested in using house drums or renting some of Carl’s drums).
