Collecting Vintage Drums



Welcome To Rare Antiques Collectibles and Memorabilia.

Collecting vintage drums have gain more and more popularity among the drumming community and collectors alike.

Percussion enthusiasts only know how fun it is to beat to the rhythm of your favorite music. But I can’t say the same for the next door neighbor of drummer Dave and bongo Bob.


For a vintage drum to be collectible it doesn’t have to be rare( albeit an important factor). Black Beauties are rare also a collectible, but Radio Kings are not rare but it is also a collectible.

It depends on your interests if you want to collect a whole vintage drums set or separately buy the parts like vintage ride cymbals, vintage crash cymbals, vintage hi-hat cymbals, vintage drum stands, vintage drum thrones, vintage drum pedals , vintage drum rims, vintage drum mounts, single vintage snare drums, vintage bass drums and vintage toms.

Before buying vintage drum set check if there are scratches, hairline cracks, scuffs, patch up jobs, gouges stains, dings, dents, defacements, rust, pitting, spongy, caved in and bulged out areas or any other peripheral signs of wear and tear.

Check if there’s any signs of modification and make sure all parts are original. Originality in condition increases the value of the vintage drum set if you considering reselling it in the future.

Determine the overall tone quality of the vintage drums, make sure it resonate properly. Check out forums and talk to musicians and vintage drum collectors if you want to increase your knowledge about the subject.


Drums manufactured between the 1920’s to 1960’s such as Gretsch, Pearl, Slingerland vintage drums are the most sought after.Rarity, historic significance (like the Ludwig drum set Ringgo Starr used when The Beatles made their first appearance to the American audience in the Ed Sullivan show), preservation of originality and of course the marketplace trends makes a vintage drum set collectible.

It’s always the that market drives the values. Again it all goes back to the supply and demand theory of economics. It’s also true of collecting vintage drum set as with any other collection.
