Decolite is my custom drum brand using vintage hardware from the traps and swing eras. I aim to make fully giggable drums using the best parts of vintage drum engineering. Each kit is one of a kind.

This kit is a 3-piece, 8x12, 12x16 and 12x18. All 3-ply shells, finished in black and gold paint and lacquer:

  • Rack tom is a 50s WFL or Ludwig rack tom. No mount on this one, just 6 single tension eyelets.
  • Floor tom is a 1920s Ludwig & Ludwig marching drum. 40s Leedy leg mounts, long stainless legs and 8 single tension eyelets.
  • Bass drum is a 30s Slingerland Tymp drum, 20 eyelets and multiple factory vent holes. Comes with hoop clamp spurs.

All hardware is assorted vintage nickel parts from the 1930s-50s. All hoops are steam bent solid maple with vintage gold sparkle inlay strips.

All drums have solid maple reinforcement rings. The bass drum has its factory bearing edges on both sides, the toms have very gentle vintage-style roundovers.

As usual, the vintage hardware has decades of patina and the inlay wrap, shells and hoops have little imperfections here and there as pictured. All bearing edges are very clean, all shells are in round, all hardware works well with no issues. The kit is extremely lightweight and has a wonderful vintage tone and vibe.


Hoop clamp spurs and floor tom legs are included. Snare stand in photos is not for sale.
