I'm not really sure of the difference. Maybe the feet? I have an old b/o stand for my 6 and 8, with those slider feet. Looks cool but really doesn't stay put...
Hello Dustin,<br>I know someone who has a mint 26" yellow bass drum with late 1/2" thick spurs and diamond plate mount. I beleive his price is fairly high but...
morning. I have a 5 piece, standard size, clear set I bought new in 1977. And even though I let my son have them for a couple of years(ha), they are in ...
Hey there. I see you as one of the experts here so I will ask you. (or anyone else who knows) I met a guy at work that has a RWB swirl kit he purchased new in...
Hi,<br>Wouldn't think of myself as an expert in any way, but, personally I would recon $1300-$1800.<br>I paid about $1400 for my Red/Amber Spiral in those...
Ahhh!!! Don't sell yourself short! I guess I should have said a collector! Anyway, thanks for the info. I knew you had that spiral set in those sizes, that's...
As far as new ones go, I can only say ????? Haven't played them but, I can only immagine they are better than before. How much different could they sound? Hard...
i have an octoplus jellybean kit from, i think, the mid to late 1970's. it consists of all melodic toms except the floor tom. i want to add bottom heads to...
Plexiglass/acrylic cracks easily. I have never drilled my drums, BUT I have built a drum shield out of similar material. Trust me this is not an easy ...
I agree. It can be done but you will be better off selling it. For that matter, unless you want an "Official" jellybean kit, you can purchase one drum at a ...
Hi,<br>I must also agree with the others here,best left alone, but if you do go ahead...<br>remember the octaplus has small classic lugs on the toms, which are...
I fourth that motion. I drilled some holes in my 6 and 8 concert tom to change the mounts. i dodn't crack them or anything but, it was pretty scarry. I'll ...

Hello, On ebay there are 10x14 and 12x15 double headed tom's with small classic lugs. Thay are supposed to be listed in 1980 catalog. I don't have the catalog...
Hi,<br>I wasn't aware of the "larger toms" having small lugs, except the melodic/concert toms.<br>Perhaps Andy Youell could help you with the catalog stuff,...
thanks for all your suggestions. i think that i'm going to leave them ALONE! an original jellybean octoplus is a rare find and i don't want to devalue or wreck...

Word Yall...lol I finally posted my first set of pix. I'll get this computer shi...uh...stuff down yet. Enjoy, more to come soon. <br><br>Late,<br>Todd...
Hello all, new guy here.<br><br>I've been looking at some Vistalites and have finally decided to take the plunge (my first new kit was a Vistalite when I was a...
Hi Michael,<br>The seams on the vertical patterns do feel "angular". They seem to improve on the later kits. I have a couple of snares in this pattern, ...
