Title: Donoho Drums Post by: 3rdEYE on January 16, 2007, 01:52 PM This seemed like a pretty good deal to me can anyone confirm this?

They're easy to tune, and have a nice full tone. That's the upside. The downside is that Donoho is no longer in business. If you want to match a drum you already have, you can't just call him up or order from a catalog. And I haven't thought about selling mine (a 20 x 16 bass, and a 12 x 9 tom), but "custom" drums might be a little dicey when the maker's no longer in business.
Oh, yeah, one other thing: he built them to a price point, so he used fairly inexpensive hardware. Not an issue to me, but if you want die cast bass drum claws, this ain't it. Personally, I like the drums, and they were an excellent value. |
