It may not be a drum, but this early 20th century Ivers & Pond upright piano just entered the collection at green room, and I’m very excited to get it swinging again!

Snare drums are social creatures, and are happiest in the company of friends.

6x15.5” Duplex Snare drum, designed (and potentially built) by the father of the modern snare drum Emil Boulanger.

Yesterday I released my first original jazz album under .whiteside.music called Nana’s Piano! Check it out if you’re into that kind of thing! And, in the spirit of Hindsight Drums, here’s my rig rundown on the album:

4x14” 1920’s Ludwig & Ludwig 6-lug heavy two-piece nickel-over-brass snare (the “Dance” model, with the soldered bearing edges…her name’s Daisy)

14x20” kick, 16x16” floor tom, 9x13” rack tom, all 1950’s WFL Super-Classics in Black Diamond Pearl: 3-ply Mahogany/Poplar/Mahogany with maple re-rings (my favorite recipe)

13” 1920’s Zildjian first-stamp crash (splash?)
14” 1950’s thin Zildjian small-stamp hi-hats, both around 700g
18” 1950’s Zildjian small-stamp crash/ride, 1519g
19” 1960’s Zildjian block-stamp rivet crash/ride
22” Dream Dark Matter Flat Earth Ride

All that and an upright bass, an heirloom Kimball spinet piano, trombone, tenor sax, alto sax, soprano sax, recorded in what used to be an opera house in the late 1800’s! On all streaming platforms, at www.TommyWhitesideMusic.com

These three Pocket Tambourines are live on the Hindsight Drums Reverb store- loud enough to cut through the mix, small enough to fit in a stocking! (7” diameter)

1. Beech / Nickel Silver / Calf skin
2. Walnut / Heat-Treated Brass / Calf skin
3. White Oak / Brass / Goat skin

Always handmade in Roseburg, Oregon.

3-ply player perfection. 1950’s WFL Super Classic, meet 1940’s Ludwig & Ludwig New Universal.

Some experimentation with heat-coloring brass zils (fun with a blow-torch!). The sonic difference is negligible (maybe slightly darker) but the aesthetic is there. The process is extremely unpredictable (at this point) and goes from “pretty colors” to “what have I done” in fractions of a second. Still, a cool option for the patina junkies!
