I received this email from Denny Hair. Not good news. He’s asking for help from the Vintage Drum commumity. I’ve asked Denny for a detailed list which is forthcoming.
George,
My wife has been diagnosed with a rare Liver Bile Duct cancer. The long and short of it is that it is incurable and to save her life will require a complete liver transplant. Time and money is not on our side.
So I am sending pictures of the collection. I see no real good way to ship these. I want $15,000 for all of the drums and will include the stands that it takes to mount the drums to either the bass drums or the temp toms stands.
These appeared in a NSMD several years ago. The only issue is with the 26 in bass from as it has slight damage where the tom stand enters the bass. I have placed a stainless steel patch there. These are all original from the 1970s and are not repros. I think the rarest is the stainless steel bongos. They are the only ones I have ever seen. There are four bass drums included. With this collection you can make just about any combination of Ludwig Stainless Steel drum sets ever contemplated. I want to sell all of this all at once and do not want to piece them out.
I live near Houston Texas. You can call me at

thanks
Denny Hair
