Pork Pie USA 24/13/16/18 Drum Set 3 Ply Maple/Poplar/Maple RARE One-Off Kit - $1,599 - (Santa Rosa Beach, FL)
Up for sale is an incredibly rare drum set made in the USA by Bill Detamore in his custom shop at Pork Pie Percussion. 3-ply maple/poplar/maple shells w/ maple reinforcement rings. Same shell configuration as the 60's and early 70's Ludwigs a la Ringo, Bonham, et al. Vintage tone, warmth, feel, and vibe for days. I've owned a vintage Rogers and a modern Gretsch Broadkaster in these sizes as well. Those kits were great. But this one is simply, to my ears, a cut above in terms of tone/sound/feel. And as a huge Rogers and Gretsch fan, I never would have believed that I would say that until I actually played this kit. 14x24 bass drum (virgin). Pedal rash on batter hoop. 9x13 rack tom (virgin) 16x16 floor tom 16x18 floor tom Coated Ambassadors on bottom of all 3 toms. Coated Vintage Ambassadors on top of all 3 toms. Coated Powerstoke 3 on bass batter. Fiberskyn Powerstoke 3 on bass reso (w/ a port hole - see 10th pic) All heads have VERY LITTLE wear/use...almost like new. I spoke with Bill Detamore about this kit and he says the wrap and shells are a custom order/one-off...nothing he has built before or since. I will include almost brand new Beato Pro 1 bags for each drum. That's over $400 in bags alone!
