... of playing this neat little Olympic kit.
Shown here with a Premier cymbal holder I picked up recently on Ebay - one of a pair. Nice.

If you check the whole album, you can see this one's been a bit of an ongoing project, as some of you know... I rescued it from a garage in Chester a few years back. 12, 13 toms, 14 floor tom and 20 bass, plus chrome snare. It looks like it started life as a Europa four-piece, before a previous owner added a 13" tom and a second tom holder.
I later added a 16" floor tom and replaced the original 12" tom as the finish was badly scuffed.
I have to say the 16's OK on mine, but the 13" took a bit of patience to get it sounding anything like. The 12" however is sweet as a nut. And I've always loved this finish.

Sure looks good. Years ago i had a Grey Silk Twin Europa set with a mix of both Birch and Mahogany shells and it had an added 14 floor tom. The 14 tom was the sweetest drum ever whilst its big brother the 16 was a dog, no matter the heads or tuning it always sounded cr*p and i never worked out why. It's one of those kits i wish i had never sold apart from the 16! |
