MISSION
Our goal is to provide the reader, drummer, collector with a publication that supplies all their needs, desires, and pleasures of playing and collecting vintage drums. As well as offering interviews with some of the most interesting, influential, drummers of our past; from the early 20's to the psychedelic sixties and the rocking seventies and eighties.
We will also feature famous names from major American drum companies who have paved the way for today's drum makers. We will seek out some of the most rare and collectible drums, as well as some of today's biggest and best drum collections. We hope that you will join our family of Vintage Drummers to learn about, enjoy and preserve some of the finest drums ever made and to meet the people who have played these drums when these were the "new drumsets".
We welcome your comments and suggestions and hope that they will help make this publication grow and become a leading source of information and INSPIRATION for everyone who has sat behind a drum kit or has played a snare drum. Only we know what playing drums does to us on the inside and what it does to the listener. Don't miss out on what has become an explosion in the drum world of playing, collecting and enjoying; "Vintage Drums!!!"
