I’ve been passionately collecting drums for over 30 years, and it’s time to share the love.
I’m letting go of some amazing kits, snares, and other drum gear, so they can inspire and be enjoyed by fellow drummers.
Many pieces in my collection are incredibly rare—you might never see items like these for sale again.
This is your chance to own a slice of drumming history!
Experience the iconic sound and look of the 60s/70s with this rare English-made Hayman drum kit.
Known for their projection, these kits use 4-ply cross-laminated Birch shells (Vibrasonic) with a special metallic Polyurethane spray inside for enhanced attack.
From my observations there are a growing number of Ludwig kits in circulation in Aust with 26in bass drums.
But in over 4 decades of playing, collecting and dealing in drums, I’ve only seen 2 other Hayman kits with a 26.
My research shows Hayman never offered an 18in floor tom with any of their kits and it was a custom order only.
So there are very few in the world and probably none in Australia.
Key Features:
- Shells: Finest 4-ply cross-laminated Birch (Vibrasonic) for added strength and projection
