Members jay.decay11211 Posted July 29, 2008 Members Share Posted July 29, 2008 Eames drum set handcrafted in Saugus, MA by Joe MacSweeney in 1994This kit is in very good condition, played a lot on gigs and recordings for 14 years, but well maintained. There are a few cosmetic scratches and the natural finish has aged beautifully to a lumious goldenrod shade, and the grain stands out nicely. The dimensions and thickness of the shells make it a very versatile kit, tunes well for a variety of styles of music, I've played jazz, rock, country, African pop. The shells are slightly deeper than conventional dimensions, so they project well and are very resonant. Great recording kit.

John 718.963.0221jay.decay@gmail.com see http://www.eamesdrumshells.com/The Eames Drum Company was founded in 1950 when Ralph G. Eames purchased the drum making equipment that had been used since 1890 by the George B. Stone & Son Drum Company. Through skilled workmanship and the use of high quality materials, Mr. Eames became a Master Drum Maker, thereby upholding the fine tradition of his predecessor.
