      Those Grandstars were great sounding drums, and tough as nails too.

            Granstars still sound great.

            Take away the bass drum, and you got a Nicko kit!

            Still fun either way...

                  Thats a fact I agree.My first Grandstars I seen was at Drum and Guitar City on Folsom Blvd in Sacto in the 1980's.Andy Penn sold out prior to that.

                    Classic. Beware of a Nicko McBrain infestation.

                          I've long been wanting an 11" tom. Is it custom made (and the hoops too)?

                            Beautiful...I've got a Granstar Custom as well.....only no where near as big as yours. IMO still one of the best looking lug designs ever!
