Looking forward to the Chicago Drum Show this Spring has us reminiscing about the UK Drum Show in Liverpool last Fall.
This Super 66 outfit was featured at both shows in 2025.
Rusty Drums Ltd. graciously hosted us in their booth and has this kit available for purchase in the shop in Barton Le Clay, England.
We're looking forward to making more drums in this beautiful 💚 finish.
