Hardware Parts (And Other Collectibles)
Although the hardware parts were often (not to say: nearly always) the first parts that lateron were replaced
at a drum kit, sometimes they are surprisingly still existing nowadays. Here’s the section where you can find
some of these vintage rarities and other collectibles, too, which do not fit well into any other section (all in
random order). Latest entries: On the top of this page.
