THE GOLD SPARKLE STEWARTS

Finally completed this week is the GOLD SPARKLE STEWART kit (which actually utilizes a "Starlight" snare that was too close of a match to omit).



This collection of drums consists of a rare, hard-to-find 14x22" bass drum, an 8 x 12" tom and a 5 x 14" snare.  In the community of MIJ drums, twenty-two inch bass drums don't pop up too often, so whenever I find one, I snag it.  The most common size is 20 inch.  I have never come across any other size, so I assume these were the only two sizes made.



Maybe one day I will come across a floor tom that matches, but for now I am considering this kit finished and moving on to my next project.

UPDATE: DECEMBER 2019
I have now found a matching floor tom for this kit.  It's a "Crest" instead of a "Stewart," but whatever, it will have to do.  Similar looking badge.  I will clean it up and add it on after the holidays.  You know, whenever I feel like it.
