“Most of my work is playing with big bands and acts from the big band era. With the 1940’s Radio King snare drum I purchased from Vintage Drum Center, I feel I am playing a legendary instrument with legendary performers. This drum sings over the woodwinds and cracks with the brass… there’s nothing like it!”

“I became sold out to the vintage sound while touring and recording with the ‘king’ of vintage gear himself, Lenny Kravitz. Recently, I bought a 5 .5″ X 14″ late 50’s Leedy Shelly Manne from Vintage Drum Center. Words cannot describe the sound of this snare – it’s music to my ears! Ned really knows what he’s selling – he knows drums. And Vintage Drum Center’s collection is amazing! Do yourself a favor and purchase a piece of history from someone with the knowledge and experience that Ned has. You’ll be glad you did.”
